Please bear in mind that a deferral after the 'A' level results come out may deny someone else a place on our course and should be avoided if possible. Also, it is important to note that we cannot absolutely guarantee to switch candidates forward a year after the 'A' level results come out, because we may be full. Clearly, the sooner you confirm your position with us the better. Please understand that sometimes in busy periods it may take a couple of weeks for us to confirm any changed year.

Different sponsors offer different styles of training and different graduate career opportunities.
It is really up to each candidate to decide which will suit him or her, though we will of course discuss the options if this is helpful. Some students have found it possible to get sponsorship part way through their degree course, following vacation employment at the end of the second year. We must of course be honest and say that some students do not complete the course. Most of these students withdraw or transfer to other courses soon after the commencement of the course, having decided that the subject is not for them. Students sometimes transfer into the course as well.
