The University is committed to the promotion of equal opportunities for all. We consider each application on the basis of the applicant's suitability for the proposed programme of study, at the same time acknowledging the statutory and professional requirements of some courses. We are keen to encourage applicants from a wide range of academic and social backgrounds to take up the opportunity of studying at the University, and we aim to provide a working and learning environment that is free of discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability. If you are applying for Physiotherapy it will not be possible to defer your application. Applicants who decide after they have applied that they wish to defer should contact the Enquiry and Admissions Service.
Most Faculties are willing to hold open for one year any offer of a place which has been accepted.
The Service also organises a programme of recruitment events such as attendance at the UCAS Nextstep conventions and visits to schools and colleges in the region. We also provide online tips on completing your application form.
