Undergraduate / Foundation degrees
Most UK and EU undergraduates apply through UCAS. However, if you would like to begin your studies in 2020, you can now apply through Clearing.
If you are from elsewhere in the world or you want to study part-time, you apply to the university directly.
Opening hours for Clearing
Our Clearing team is still available to take your calls throughout the week. See our opening hours for September.
Applying from the UK/EU
UK and EU undergrads apply through UCAS for full-time courses and directly to us for part-time courses.

If you are from outside the UK/EU, you apply to the University directly or through one of our in-country representatives.
If you are interested in a course offered by one of our partner colleges, please contact the college directly.
