Please note, Distance learning applicants DO NOT apply via UCAS.
To make an application you need to select the course you are interested in from the list what you can study. This will take you through to the course details and at the bottom of this page you will follow the link to our online application form.
Before you should submit your application you should make sure that you have read all the support guidance notes and filled out the form accurately and clearly.
Allow yourself time to collect documents. In addition to your application form you may need to supply:
Please include as much detail as possible. Missing, incomplete or inaccurate information will delay the application process so check and recheck your forms before returning it to the Distance Learning team. You must ensure that you provide an active email address for correspondence.
The cut off date for applications is one month prior to the start of the semester. Please check the start date for the course you have chosen by contacting the Distance Learning team via the contact information below. Unfortunately we cannot be flexible on cut off dates and you may be advised to wait until the next entry point, of which there are three per academic year.
On receipt of your application form we will send you an acknowledgement (by email) within 24 hours. When an admissions decision has been made, we will inform you by email. This may take up to 15 working days but we endeavour to provide admissions decisions as quickly as possible. Once this stage has been completed, the Distance Learning Administrator will send you details about how to pay your fees and select your modules. Finally, once the payment process is complete, you will be sent a student card upon request and receive learning materials and access to our virtual learning environment.
