Want to speak to us in person about your options?

If you haven’t yet applied for a course starting in September, but would like to, come along to our Late Applications Drop-in event on campus.

You'll be able to:

  • get a guided campus tour* from our student ambassadors
  • speak to tutors and support staff about studying with us
  • if you meet entry requirements, apply for a course on the day and start the enrolment process.

There’s no need to book, just drop-in between 9am-5pm!

If you decide to apply, we’ll need to see evidence of your GCSE results. Please bring a printed copy of your results with you; we'll need to take a scanned copy of them.

When you arrive at our Main Campus, please follow the signs to the GCSE Results car park (in our staff car park).

Once you've parked, follow the signs to our Library and the designated check-in area for the course you're interested in.
