Candidates are required to submit a personal statement in which they discuss their reasons for applying for the course and other relevant information about their studies. An academic and/or employer reference is also required. Students can upload their CVs with their applications to demonstrate their work experience.

• Applicants need 80 UCAS points to apply, which is the same as getting CDD grades at A-Level. The university also accepts similar qualifications, such as a Pass in a T-Level or MMP in a BTEC Extended Diploma.

• The university prefers candidates to have GCSE Maths and English, but if not, students will be able to complete Level 2 Maths and English as part of their studies.
