There is more chance of a place being available on the course of your choice and there is more time to apply for the funding for your studies.back to top Mature ApplicantsIn line with the current educational approach to lifelong learning, mature applicants (aged 25+) may gain entry to a course without the stated entry qualifications, subject to the agreement of the College Principal or Head of Faculty.back to top Admissions InterviewsIt is usual for full-time and some part-time/evening course applicants to meet with a Course Tutor/Lecturer from the Department in which they intend to study. This interview is to ensure that students make the correct choice of course of study, that they meet the eligibility criteria, and that the correct funding option is chosen. It is an opportunity to discuss the course content in more depth, often with a senior member of the Department or with the Course Leader. Where appropriate, parents or carers are welcome.back to top Late ApplicationsIf you delay applying until shortly before the start of your chosen course, you should bear in mind that it may take several weeks to arrange a Bursary or Student Loan.

The loan is repaid once your student funding is in place and you have received your first payment.back to top Part-time Day and Evening CoursesPlease see the part-time section of the website.back to top RefundsRefunds will be given in full if any course fails to run (see paragraph 3 of the Terms & Conditions).
