Apply with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ

Apply with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is a free, flexible online programme launching in September 2026. It is designed to support Year 13 students through every stage of applying to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ.


During the programme, you’ll join interactive online sessions led by current undergraduate students, giving you insight into life at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ while building your confidence for your UCAS application. You’ll also have access to an exclusive MS Teams group, where you can find useful resources and reminders throughout the application process.

If you meet our widening participation criteria, you can book a 1:1 personal statement session with a member of staff. We also offer tailored support for students who are estranged, young carers, displaced, or care-experienced.

The programme covers key topics including personal statements, accommodation, scholarships, bursaries, and student finance. It’s completely flexible and self-paced — you can choose the sessions that suit you and fit them around your schedule. Our aim is to help you understand what support is available and how to access it, so you can apply to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ with confidence.
