Our Service

The Enquiries Team can advise on entry qualifications, access routes for mature students and how to apply. We'll also help with the non-academic issues you may need to consider when applying for higher education, such as accommodation, child care, welfare services and financial support, and can arrange referrals to other University departments for more specialised advice.

We can help you if you are:

  • a school or college leaver considering your subject, course or career option
  • a parent
  • a mature student without formal qualifications looking for guidance on entry routes into higher education
  • someone considering a career change or retraining
  • in full-time employment but interested in studying part-time for a professional qualification to help you develop your career
  • looking for a part-time course for personal interest or self-development
  • a teacher, careers advisor or employment and training adviser who needs to source information on behalf of a student or client.

See our statement of service for more details of what we can do for you.
