Fast and easy for new students

It’s quicker and easier than ever before. The online application only prompts you to answer the questions which apply in your circumstances. If you need to update your contact details, view your payment information, or change your bank details you can do it all online by logging in to your account.

Even easier for returning students

Applying online is especially easy in the second or subsequent year of your course - all the relevant information from your previous year's application is carried over, even if you applied on paper - you will hardly need to enter any information at all.

Your sponsors can supply their information online

If you complete an online application and nominate a sponsor (i.e. your parent(s) or your partner), they will be sent a letter detailing how they can provide this information online.

The iPod offer applies to New and Returning students only, however if your sponsors provide their information online, they will be automatically entered into a prize draw where they can win £200 Holiday Vouchers!
