Going to university is an important time for any young person. As a parent or supporter, it's natural to have concerns about your son or daughter, especially if they are leaving home for the first time.

The application cycle

Deadlines for undergraduate applications are mostly set by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), which organises the entrance of students into university in the UK.

Your dependant will apply online for the university of their choice using the UCAS website. Most of our courses have a corresponding UCAS page which provides general information, including entry requirements. For more detailed information about an individual course, please visit our online course pages.

We've created a useful step-by-step guide which explains in detail each step of the application cycle.

Each residence is within easy travelling distance of the city. More than just a place to sleep, our accommodation facilities are lively, friendly communities with great amenities ranging from cafés to libraries.
