Here are some useful guides from UCAS:
- Writing your personal statement
- Learn all about filling in your UCAS application for uni
- UCAS University Application References / Mature Students References - Who To Choose & How To Complete It
If you have any issues or questions about the process, please get in touch.
This is a vital step. Your supporting documents will need to include:
- A copy of a valid passport
- A copy of your current highest qualification
- A NARIC/ENIC official statement of comparison for your international qualifications: enic.org.uk
- An IELTS score of 6.0, with a minimum score of 5.5 in each skill: IELTS Home of the IELTS English Language Test.
- Confirmation of how you intend to fund the course and that you have read and understood the Tuition Fees Policy.
Send your supporting documents to admissions@ucw.ac.uk
We can support this process in the latter stages, but it helps to have researched this in advance:
- When to apply
- How to apply
- What funds are needed
We will then be in touch with you to arrange your audition and interview!
Some of these steps can take a while to achieve if you don’t already possess the appropriate certification, so please begin working on collecting all the above documentation at the beginning of your application process.
All the above steps will be requested at your audition, as we won’t be able to consider your application fully until we’ve received your UCAS application and supporting documentation.
Have questions? Need help?
Email either admissions@ucw.ac.uk or the appropriate programme leader and we will be able to support you in this process.
We are looking forward to celebrating with you!
