Once you have filled in your full application, you will need to provide a reference from a teacher, advisor, or other professional who knows you academically. You will then need to pay a set application fee before submitting your application.

You can view and track your application status through UCAS, including receiving offers. If you receive an offer or offers, you will need to reply to them through the UCAS website. More information is available here.

WHEN TO APPLY

Applications typically open in early September, one year before your course will begin. The Equal Consideration Deadline is in January, and all applications received by this date must be considered equally by universities and colleges.

In most cases, we will consider applications right up until the start of term, provided there are spaces left on the course. For some courses we will continue to consider applicants up until the second week of term. It’s worth noting that for some programmes we might stop accepting applications a little earlier (for example, if you’re required to complete an enhanced DBS check we need to leave enough time for the DBS to be completed by the time the course starts).

If you are applying for a full-time course after 30th June, then you will use a process called ‘Clearing’. We advise you get in touch via university.centre@yeovil.ac.uk or 01935 845454 and we will gladly help you with the ‘Clearing’ process.

Sometimes, we have programmes that start in January. In these instances, information will be published online about the relevant deadlines for application.

 

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I APPLY?

After you have applied, our admissions team will consider your application. If you meet the minimum required entry qualifications for the course, then you will be invited to interview. From here there are three potential outcomes, you will either be given a Conditional Offer, an Unconditional Offer or your application will be rejected. For more information on how we consider applications, the interview process, types of offer, and enrolment, visit our helpful ‘What Happens After I Apply?’ FAQ sheet.
