Our dedicated team will provide you with the support you need. We value your interest in our School and are keen to help you make an informed decision about your future studies.

It is possible to apply for more than one programme at the School. We understand that prospective students may have diverse interests and career goals, and we encourage you to explore multiple options that align with your aspirations.

When applying for multiple programmes, you will need to submit a separate application for each one. Each application will be evaluated based on its own merits, adhering to our Admissions Policy. It’s important to ensure that you meet the entry requirements for each programme and to tailor your personal statement accordingly, highlighting why you are interested in each specific course.

Our Student Success Team is here to support you throughout this process. Should you have any questions or require guidance on your applications, feel free to reach out. We are committed to helping you find the right fit for your educational journey and to facilitating your path to success at the School.

We recommend that all prospective students apply as soon as possible to secure their place in their desired programme. Each programme's prospectus and promotional materials outline specific start dates that align with our effective registration periods. By applying early, you ensure that you have ample time to meet any conditions of your offer and obtain your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) if required.

Once you have submitted your application, you will be kept informed throughout the process. You can typically check the status of your application online through the Admissions Portal. Additionally, we will send you status update emails to keep you informed of any progress.

Once a decision has been made regarding your application, you will receive a formal notification via email. This will outline whether your application has been successful or if further information is required.

We understand that waiting for an application decision can be an anxious time, and our Student Success Team is available to answer any questions you may have during this process.

Our Admissions Policy states that interviews may be required for certain applicants as part of the selection process. The necessity for an interview typically depends on individual circumstances, such as the applicant’s qualifications, experience, and the specific programme they are applying for.

Interviews serve as an opportunity for both the School and prospective students to engage in meaningful dialogue, allowing us to better understand your motivations, aspirations, and how you align with our values. Should an interview be required, our Student Success Team will inform you during the application review process and provide guidance on what to expect.

Under our Admissions Policy, the School endeavours to provide constructive feedback to unsuccessful applicants, although this is subject to operational constraints. If you receive an unsuccessful outcome, we encourage you to reach out to our Student Success Team for insights on your application. This feedback can help you understand the reasons behind the decision and improve future applications.

Should you still have concerns after reviewing the feedback, you are entitled to submit a formal appeal in writing to the Director of Student Services. This appeal must be based on the original application to ensure fairness, as introducing new information could provide an unfair advantage. The Director of Student Services will carefully review your appeal and provide a formal response within 15 working days. It is important to note that the Director's decision is final.

This process reflects our commitment to transparency and fairness, allowing applicants to address any concerns about admission decisions.

Once we receive your completed application, including references and supporting documents, we aim to complete the decision-making process within 8-weeks. However, this timeframe may vary during peak periods or if an interview is part of the selection process.

We encourage you to reach out to our Student Success Team if you have not received an update after 8-weeks or if you have any other questions regarding your application. Your journey to joining our School is important to us, and we appreciate your patience as we review your application.

While a CV is not a mandatory requirement for your application, submitting one can provide a valuable overview of your educational background and work experience. Including a CV can help us better understand your qualifications and experiences, which may enhance your application. We focus on your academic achievements and personal statement as the primary components of your application. If you choose to include a CV, please ensure that it is relevant and highlights your skills and experiences that align with your chosen programme.

While we understand that circumstances can sometimes prevent timely submissions, extensions for application deadlines are not guaranteed. Requests for extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the specific situation and the reasons provided.

To initiate this process, please contact our Student Success Team as soon as possible with a detailed explanation of your circumstances. We encourage prospective students to stay informed about application deadlines and to submit their applications promptly to ensure the best chance of a successful enrolment.

If you find yourself needing to change your application after submission, you can easily request a modification by emailing our Student Success Team. In your message, please include essential details such as the programme you initially applied for and the new course you wish to consider.

In such cases, you will receive a conditional offer outlining the specific qualifications and grades you need to achieve in order to meet our entry requirements.

Once you have obtained the necessary evidence, you can easily upload it through the Admission Portal. Upon satisfying all the conditions stated in your conditional offer, you will then receive an unconditional offer, allowing you to proceed with your studies at our School.

International applicants need to be mindful of specific conditions related to visa sponsorship. As our Visa Sponsorship and Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) Policy explains, a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) will only be issued once certain requirements are met, such as fulfilling the terms of your offer, providing a deposit or proof of funding, and submitting the necessary documents. For full details, it's essential to review the additional regulatory context outlined by the UK Home Office - Study in the UK on a Student Visa. This sets out the requirements for international students coming to the UK under the Student Visa route.

If your previous education was not conducted in English, you will need to take an English language assessment as part of your application. This ensures that you have the necessary language skills to succeed in your studies.

The most commonly accepted assessments are IELTS and TOEFL, and specific score requirements can vary by programme. If you have any concerns about the assessment or your language skills, our Student Success Team is here to help and support you throughout the process.

The required scores for IELTS (International English Language Testing System) at the School are established in line with our Admissions Policy and are designed to ensure that all students possess the necessary English language proficiency to succeed in their academic programmes.

The required scores are based on a variety of factors, including the level and complexity of the course you are applying for, as well as the specific demands of each programme. For example, postgraduate programmes may require a higher score than undergraduate courses, reflecting the advanced level of study and the need for a strong command of academic English.

We also consider the overall band score as well as the individual component scores (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking) to ensure that students have a balanced proficiency across all aspects of the language. This holistic approach helps us assess your readiness for engaging with course content, participating in discussions, and completing assignments.

The School is committed to maintaining high academic standards, and setting these requirements helps us ensure that you will be able to fully engage with your studies from the outset. Prospective students are encouraged to check the specific IELTS score requirements for their chosen programme and to prepare accordingly to meet these expectations.

For specific details regarding language requirements for your student visa application, we recommend checking the UK government's official guidance on student visas. This provides comprehensive information on the necessary qualifications and assessments, including the circumstances under which exemptions may apply.

Work experience is considered when evaluating applications to higher education institutions (HEIs). Relevant work experience can demonstrate your skills, commitment, and practical understanding of your chosen field. Many institutions appreciate applicants who have gained real-world experience, as it can enhance your overall application and provide valuable insights that may enrich your studies. It's beneficial to highlight any work experience in your personal statement, particularly if it relates to the course you are applying for.

We recognise the value of your previous learning and experience. Under our Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Experience (RPE) Regulations, applicants have the opportunity to seek accreditation for their prior learning or relevant experience. This can be beneficial for various purposes, including meeting programme entry requirements, obtaining module exemptions, or earning credits towards their chosen course of study.

Unfortunately, we do not offer pre-sessional English courses. However, we believe in fostering a supportive environment for students. For those who wish to improve their English language skills, we encourage you to explore local language schools or online resources that can help you enhance your proficiency. Our main goal is to ensure that every student feels prepared and confident in their studies, and while we may not provide these specific courses, our dedicated staff is always here to assist you in finding the right resources to support your language development. Please contact us with any questions.

Choosing between multiple job offers can be a challenging yet exciting decision. To make the best choice for your career and personal circumstances, it is essential to evaluate each offer carefully and consider various factors.

Begin by examining the specifics of each offer, including salary, benefits, and working conditions. Consider the company culture and values, ensuring they align with your own. A supportive and inclusive work environment is crucial for long-term job satisfaction and professional growth.

Think about the opportunities for career advancement each position offers. Does one role provide more pathways for development or the chance to work on projects that excite you? Reflect on the skills you will gain and how they align with your long-term career goals.

When you receive a job offer, take the time to evaluate it thoroughly. Consider not only the salary but also other aspects such as benefits, bonuses, and opportunities for professional development. Articulating your value to the organisation, backed by your skills and qualifications, can bolster your negotiating position.

During discussions, communicate openly and confidently. Be ready to explain why you believe a higher salary is justified, focusing on your unique strengths and what you can bring to the role. It is also helpful to express your enthusiasm for the position and the organisation, reinforcing that your aim is to find a mutually beneficial agreement.

Embarking on the journey to find your first job can be both exciting and daunting. At the School, we understand that this transition is significant, and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Start by identifying your interests, strengths, and career goals.

Utilise our Career Services, where the Student Success Team offers resources tailored to help you in your job search. We provide guidance on crafting compelling CVs and cover letters, as well as tips on interview preparation. Additionally, our workshops on job searching techniques can equip you with the strategies needed to navigate the competitive job market.

Networking is crucial during your job search. Attend industry events, career fairs, and workshops hosted by the School, as these are excellent opportunities to connect with potential employers and professionals in your field. Consider reaching out to alumni through our networks, as they can offer valuable insights and advice based on their own experiences.

Preparing beforehand for a meeting with a careers consultant through our Student Success Team is an excellent way to maximise the benefits of your appointment. There are several proactive steps you can take to research your options effectively.

Begin by reflecting on your interests, skills, and career aspirations. Consider what subjects or activities excite you and where you see yourself in the future. Identifying your strengths and weaknesses will help you articulate your goals during your consultation.

Additionally, take the time to research industry trends. Understanding the current job market and the skills that employers are seeking will equip you with knowledge that can guide your discussions. You may find reports or articles on relevant job sectors that highlight growth areas and emerging opportunities.

Finally, prepare questions for your career’s consultant. Think about any uncertainties you have regarding your career path, job searching techniques, or interview preparation. This will help ensure that your meeting is focused and productive.

By undertaking this research, you will not only feel more confident in your meeting but will also gain valuable information that can help shape your career decisions. Our Student Success Team is here to support you.
