Admissions

Five steps, dated honestly

Applications run in cycles. Pick your intake below and the timeline shows every deadline measured against today's date, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

How an application runs

Step 1

Choose your course

Use the program finder, check entry requirements and fees, and shortlist up to five.

Step 2

Apply

Undergraduate routes go through the national service; master's and doctoral routes apply directly on the apply page.

Step 3

Offer

We answer within ten working days of a complete application. Offers list fees and scholarship eligibility.

Step 4

Prepare

Accept, arrange funding, and sort housing — international students get a visa checklist at this point.

Booking is free through the apply page; walk-ins are welcome on all open days.

What are the standard entry requirements?

Undergraduate offers typically sit between 112 and 128 UCAS points with grade 4/C GCSEs in English and Maths. Master's courses ask for a 2:1 honours degree or equivalent; professional experience is considered on interview. Each course page lists its exact requirements.

Is there an application fee?

No. Applying is free, and so is changing your course choice before enrolment.

Can I defer my offer?

Once, and by up to one year. Deferrals are requested by replying to your offer email before the enrolment deadline for that intake.

What funding exists besides loans?

The university holds six scholarship schemes, from the £5,000 Chancellor's award to the Global Futures scholarship for international students. The estimator applies them to any program automatically.

Who can I talk to before applying?

Admissions advisers answer the contact form within two working days, and every open day includes one-to-one appointments.
