Welcome back. If you’re continuing your studies with us, you’ll find everything you need to prepare for the next academic year below.

You do not need to submit a new application. Simply follow the guidance below for your next steps.

Continuing your course

If you are a student with us and progressing within the same curriculum area, you will be automatically enrolled, and you do not need to do anything. This is subject to successfully completing your current course and/or GCSE English and maths requirements. If you are not successful in passing your course or Maths and English, we will contact you to discuss your options.

Changing to a new curriculum area

You should already have met with your course tutor to discuss your next steps.

If you have applied to move to a different curriculum area, you will have been invited to an interview with tutors from that area.

Your place on the new course will be subject to you meeting the entry requirements discussed during the interview.

If you meet the entry requirements, you will be automatically enrolled shortly after results day.

If you do not meet the entry requirements, we will contact you by email on results day and invite you to speak with our Admissions and Careers teams, who will help you explore alternative course options.
