What happens next 

Those who apply by phone for non-shortlisting courses can expect a decision on the spot. We respond to online applications within a working day.

If you haven't been successful, we'll let you know by email so you can consider your next steps right away.

Successful applicants will receive an offer email in which you’ll be directed to UCAS Hub to add your clearing choice. Afterwards, you'll receive an official notification from UCAS Hub, which forms your final, legally binding offer.
