Gather the essentials
Start with your identification, contact details and qualification records. Some institutions may request a CV, personal statement, references or evidence of English language ability. Requirements depend on the programme and your circumstances.
Confirm the route and dates
Ask whether you should apply through UCAS or directly to the institution. Check application deadlines, interviews and the intended intake. Keep a copy of what you submit and a record of any requests from admissions.
Keep sensitive information secure
Only provide identity or financial documents through a verified secure channel when requested. Do not send passwords or Student Finance login details to an adviser. Our initial eligibility form does not require document uploads.
General guidance to help you ask informed questions. Course requirements, funding rules and application processes can change. Confirm details with the university or relevant official body.
