Due to the popularity of our courses, it is not feasible for us to provide specific deadlines by which you must meet your offer conditions. Instead, we will confirm places to offer-holders on a first-come, first-served basis. It is therefore strongly recommended that you meet the academic conditions of your offer as soon as possible. Once you have met all academic conditions you will have to pay your deposit as the last condition to secure your place on your course.
If your course is full when you meet the conditions of your offer, you will be offered the next available intake for your course or offered a refund of your deposit. During the application process, we will keep our intakes page to date with course availability and we recommend that you check this page regularly to see the status of your course.
