What to prepare, how applications are reviewed, and who to talk to.

The process

Six steps from first thought to enrolment. Take them at your own pace, and ask for help at any point.

1. Decide on the programme

If you are not sure, book a call with the relevant programme director, or request a prospectus. We would rather you applied for the right programme than the first programme.

2. Prepare what you will need

Gather evidence of prior qualifications, a short written application, and two references, usually one academic and one ecclesial.

3. Submit your application

Send your application to the admissions team.

4. Interview

For accredited programmes, you will be invited to an admissions interview with the programme director. For FE courses this step is usually not required.

5. Decision

The Admissions Board reviews your application and the relevant programme director issues the decision and, where successful, the formal acceptance letter.

6. Enrol

Once accepted, you will receive enrolment information, a joining pack, and a welcome from your programme team.

What you will need

Most applications include the following. If you are missing something, talk to us before you rule yourself out.

Qualifications

Evidence of prior qualifications, such as certificates and transcripts. If applicable.

Completed application

Complete the application for the course you have selected.

Reference forms
