My employer’s not funding me, can I pay in instalments?

Yes, generally speaking you will be able to pay your fees in instalments each term.

Will I need referees?

Yes. It will vary depending on your chosen course but if you are applying for a clinical programme you will normally be required to provide one clinical reference and one academic referee.

How many days a week will I need to attend?

This varies greatly, with most degree and longer courses requiring attendance one day a week, plus appropriate supervised clinical practice.

Will I need to be interviewed for the course?

For short courses and study days we wouldn’t interview applicants, but we may do for other longer courses, such as postgraduate degrees and masters- level programmes.

I have credits from another university, can I transfer them?
