Past Students - Applying Through UCAS

Applying to university as a past student is easy and straightforward. The College will support your application by providing an up-to-date and detailed reference for your UCAS form. However, if you left College more than 2 years ago, we may not be the most suitable people to support you with a reference. You may need to ask your last academic institution or a relevant employer.

2. Register with UCAS - www.ucas.com

The Equal Consideration for UCAS applications was January 31st 2024. You can still submit a UCAS form after this date, but we recommend you check with each university that they will still consider your application.
