FAQs

Do you have a question about something? If you do, read through this list and you may find the answer you're looking for.

Qualifications and other entry requirements

  • I can't find my certificates, can't be certain of my results, and don't know the awarding body details. What can I do?
  • Do I need to have evidence of recent study?
  • Is it true you need GCSE English and maths to study at university, and if so what are accepted as alternatives?
  • Do I need a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check for the course I've applied to, and if so how do I get one?

Your application

  • I've been working abroad, so my reference will not be written in English. Do I need to get it translated and if so does it need to be a certified translation?
  • I want to add more details to the Employment section of my application. What should I do?
  • Why can't I use a paper application form?
