How to Apply

We’re really glad that you’re considering studying with CU. Below, you’ll find all you need to know to apply for a course.

Full-time UK undergraduate students apply through UCAS. Otherwise, you will need to apply to CU directly. International students will also require a Student Visa. Here’s a handy checklist of what you’ll need to know before you start:

• What course do you want to study?
• When would you like to start?
• What qualifications/experience do you have? Get help and guidance on your application
• Are you eligible for the Fair Access Scheme?
• Are you returning to study as an adult? Consider a free Connect course

Entry Requirements

CU ensure that all applications are managed according to the nationally-agreed framework and appropriate standards. We aim to see your potential, and we know that not everyone’s potential is shown by their academic performance in their life so far. If you don’t meet the entry criteria shown, or need help working out what points you have, please get in touch. You’re an individual, and we’ll consider your application on an individual basis, taking into account other factors. Some courses will also require a DBS check.

We typically require these points. You can use the UCAS Tariff calculator to find out how your education history fits.
