You will receive a letter and a portal message in to ‘My Application’ from us with details of our decision. If we have decided to offer you a place our offer letter will include an acceptance form which you should return as soon as possible to indicate if you wish to accept our offer or not. Your offer may be conditional on your completing a current course of study or achieving a specified English language level. However, you should return the acceptance form anyway and then send the results from your exams as soon as they are available. (Please note we request English Language tests to be taken at an early date so that the results can be sent to us by the 31 May. This will also give you a chance to sign up for our Pre-Sessional courses if you underscore on your English Language test).
If your offer is conditional please do not wait to meet the condition before you return your acceptance form.
If you decide to accept your place with us, you will want to know when your course starts, what to bring with you and lots of other details. Do not worry – we will send you a Starter Pack during the summer which will give you all the information you need to get ready for your first days with us. In the meantime you might want to use the following checklist to make sure you are on track with preparing for your start here:
