In case your chosen programme is one of these, please say when you would not be able to participate in an interview, either by listing specific dates or using a phrase such as, for example, "At any time except Monday mornings".

Notes for Criminal conviction:

We need to know about criminal convictions in two situations:

1. In circumstances where that information may help us to reduce the risk of harm or injury to our students and staff:

   A relevant criminal conviction in this context is one for offences against the person, whether of a violent or sexual nature, or for offences that concern commercial drug dealing or trafficking. Convictions that are spent (as defined by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974) are not considered to be relevant and do not have to be revealed.

   If you do have a relevant criminal conviction that is not spent you must answer yes to this question

   Your application will still be considered if you answer yes, but we may ask for further information before making our decision.

   If you are convicted of a relevant criminal offence after you have made your application, you must tell us and we may then ask you for further details.

2. Where it is a consideration because of the nature of the programme of study chosen.

   Programmes involving work with children or vulnerable adults, or in teaching, health, social work or veterinary subjects are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This means that any criminal convictions including sentences and cautions (including verbal cautions), reprimands, final warnings and bind-over orders, must be declared and are never spent for this purpose.

   If you are applying for such a programme, we will require you to agree to a criminal record check. An 'enhanced disclosure document' from the Criminal Records Bureau or the Scottish Criminal Record Office Disclosure Service may also be necessary. This allows the information to be made available to the university if the criminal record check identifies that you have had a conviction.

   We will send you the relevant documents to fill in where appropriate.

   If you are convicted of any criminal offence after you have made your application for a programme involving work with children or vulnerable adults, or in teaching, health, social work or veterinary subjects, you must tell us and we may then ask you for further details.

Notes for Sponsorship: If you are being, or are likely to be, financially sponsored please give the name, full postal address, telephone number (including any international code) and email address of your sponsor

Notes for Referees: Please print out the Reference Request pages for this form and send them to your referees, who must then complete them and forward them directly to the Admissions Office, or Graduate School if you are applying to be a research student.

You must make a note of this and ensure that any references sent separately for this application have this number written on them. You will also need this reference number for any further correspondence or enquiry about your application.

For a postgraduate programme or for postgraduate research, you must supply the details of two referees.
