How to Apply
Our applications, interview and offer processes are easy to follow and we will provide you with support and advice along the way. We encourage students to attend open evenings and consider the options available to them, researching your course choices carefully.
Before you commit to your courses at enrolment in August 2020, we hold several events (for students and parents) to discuss your choices and give you the opportunity to change. Our careers advisers are available on each of these occasions.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
You will be invited to an ‘initial interview’ with an appropriate member of staff. This will cover your course choices, entry requirements, employability & enrichment opportunities, student finance & travel arrangements and information on the stages leading up to enrolment in late August 2020.
Interviews commence the week beginning 7th October 2019 and continue throughout the year, taking place between Monday to Thursday between 4.20pm and 5.45pm so you will not require time off from school. Parents are welcome to attend.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of our friendly and supportive interview sessions and to discussing your plans for your future at the College.
Please note: Students who will be over the age of 18 on 31st August 2020 are advised to enquire about the possibility of fees/loans at their initial interview.
