Applicant Information

Enrolment is now underway and you should receive an email from the 5th September inviting you to complete the online enrolment form, along with some instructions and more information about starting your programme.

For apprentices, the enrolment process will be conducted via a member of the apprenticeships team. 

24 hours after enrolling you can access step four of the online induction.

Your online induction has been developed in conjunction with UCSD students and teaching teams to collate together the information you need prior to your onsite induction. 

The online induction consists of four steps, three you can start straight away and the fourth after you have enrolled. The online induction introduces you to the student charter, academic practice, campus and how to utilise the support available and accessing our systems.

Most of our programmes will have an onsite programme induction during the week commencing 19th September where you will be invited into the University Centre. 

Please see a list of programmes below with the induction day and start time, please come to the University Centre for your start time where you will be met by a member of staff.

The first week of teaching for most September start programmes will be the week commencing 26th September.

A provisional timetable has been uploaded to this page, please see the provisional timetables section.

The teaching across our programmes will take face to face and we encourage students to attend all sessions in person.
