How to Apply
We look forward to receiving applications from everyone who has the ability to benefit from our programmes. As well as welcoming applications from school leavers with good A-level grades, we encourage applicants with alternative qualifications and members of groups that are under-represented in higher education such as people with disabilities, mature entrants and members of ethnic minorities. If you apply, and are offered a place, you will be invited to a departmental open day where you will have the opportunity to see the facilities, meet tutors and discuss the courses.
Students with Disabilities
Our Department is committed to offering equal opportunities to students with disabilities. The Department's offices and seminar rooms can be reached by lift, and the university's ground floor teaching rooms all have wheelchair access. The University has a Student Advisor (Disabilities), called Christine Quinn. Please contact her directly on: 01524-592109.
To apply for one of our courses
If you are not sure which course to apply for, choose the one which appeals to you most. Remember that you take three subjects in your first year, and you are free to change your major to one of your other subjects at the end of your first year.
