Our policy

We recognise a special responsibility towards:

• Those who for domestic, cultural, physical or other reasons need to come to this University.
• Those who are seeking to re-enter the education system after a period away from study.
• Those with alternative experience in lieu of the normal entry requirements.

In all cases, applicants with alternative qualifications and\or experience may apply and will be considered. Many professional qualifications give graduate status in their own right whilst professional, technical and experiential learning can be assessed in terms of their appropriateness for individual programmes of study.

Applications from all candidates will be considered on their merits and in the light of the nature and scope of the programme or work proposed. Informal inquiries are welcomed and will normally be followed by an initial advisory interview.
