Applying to university is an exciting time with lots to think about. With this in mind, we have created these steps as a guide to simplify the process.

Step 1: Key dates and deadlines

From this date, you can submit your applications to UCAS for 2022 entry.

If you apply after 15 October, your application will not be considered. For Medicine courses you also have to complete the University clinical aptitude test (UCAT) before applying.

26 January 2022 - majority of other courses:

This is the 'equal consideration' deadline for most Undergraduate courses.

If you apply after 26 January, we may not be able to offer you a place if the course is full.

30 June 2022 – Final closing date for all new UCAS applications for 2022 entry

If you apply for 2022 entry after this deadline, you will automatically be entered into Clearing.

Making sure the course is right for you is essential. Review the course details and don't be afraid to contact the faculty if you have any questions, we are always happy to help.

Entry requirements and qualifications

It is important that you check that your qualifications are accepted and your grades are in line with the course entry requirements. If you are an international student please also advise check the English language requirements before applying.

Step 3: Preparing for your application

Step 4: Applying and response times

Submitting an application

All undergraduate applicants, including international students will need to apply online with UCAS. Once you have applied, UCAS will send you an acknowledgement email and forward your application to us. We will let you know that your application has been received and is being processed.

Application response

We aim to process your application within two to six weeks, but this will depend on when you submit it. Applications submitted in January, particularly near to the UCAS equal consideration deadline, might take substantially longer to be processed due to the high volume received at that time.

Step 5: What happens next?

After you apply

You will be sent an invitation to an Applicant Visit Day* either after you apply or if you are made an offer to study, depending on your course and the time of year that you apply. This will allow you to talk to academics and tour the labs, studios and lecture theatres in which you'll be studying.

For some subjects you may be required to attend an interview. If this is the case, you will be contacted directly by the faculty.

*Please note Applicant Visit Days do not generally take place from May - October but there are other ways you can visit us.

If you are made an offer

Congratulations if you have been made an offer to study with us. Depending on when you applied, you will have a deadline to reply to your offers by. All decision deadlines can be found on the UCAS website.
