How to Apply – International students
You’ve chosen your perfect course, so you’re now ready to apply for university. If you’re an international student looking to study with us in the UK, the best start is to contact the representative in your country – as they are available to offer expert advice, guidance and support with your application. However, if you'd prefer to apply directly and manage the process, please follow the guidance below.
If you’re from outside the UK and wishing to study with us, you can make your application one of two ways – either via the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) or via our Online applications portal.
Before submitting your application, you should first check the entry requirements and English language requirements in relation to your home country or place of study to ensure your eligible.

In general, all postgraduate programmes require a minimum of a lower second class degree from a recognised university, or a professional qualification deemed to be equivalent and in some cases you will need to submit a proposal as part of your degree.

To apply for a postgraduate research degree at the University of Central Lancashire, please view our information on our Postgraduate Research degrees page.
The University of Central Lancashire is a diverse environment, which brings people into contact with each other in a wide variety of ways. The University community includes students who are children (those under the age of 18) and vulnerable adults. We have a duty to safeguard these groups of individuals, as well as a duty to provide a safe environment in which our staff can work and all of our students can study and where relevant, live. We therefore ask all applicants who have accepted a place with us if they have relevant unspent criminal convictions obtained in the UK or other jurisdiction. This is so that we can consider the implications of any convictions, assess any risks to you or others within the University environment and determine whether we can reasonably manage any risks to enable you to take up your place here. Having a relevant unspent conviction therefore is not an automatic barrier to taking up your place on your chosen programme. Therefore, if you accept an offer the University will ask you to disclose details about relevant unspent convictions and supporting information.
