Starting college - Read our FAQs below

After you have submitted your application, you will be contacted by our admissions team to arrange an interview.  During the interview, the admissions tutor will discuss the course you have applied for and the entry requirements, as well as any additional support you may need during your time at college.

Following your interview you may be required to meet with the relevant curriculum team prior to being offered a place.

If your offer is based on your forthcoming exam results, once you receive them you will be invited to bring them in and complete your enrolment.

 

Interviews with the admissions team usually take around 20-30 minutes, however may be longer if you require additional information or support.

If your exam results aren’t what we asked for, there’s no need to worry – there will always be a course available for you and our advice and guidance team can advise on alternative routes to getting the qualification you need.

And if your results are better than we asked for, you may be able to move up a level – speak to our advice and guidance team on the options that are available to you.

 

Depending on the course you have chosen, you may be required to wear a uniform – you will find out more about this at your admissions interview.
