Deferred entry from 2011 to 2012

Students who have deferred entry to 2012 will be charged 2012 tuition fees.

If you have a deferred place but, in light of these funding changes, wish to be considered for entry in 2011 rather than 2012 please let Admissions know promptly as it will not be possible to alter your entry date after the course fills for 2011 entry.

Equivalent or lower level qualification (ELQ)

Students who already hold a qualification and are considering studying for another course which is an equivalent or lower level qualification may be considered to have ELQ status. Students with ELQ status will be required to pay a higher fee of £5130 in 2011/12. ELQ students will not be eligible to receive The University of Northampton Bursary.

Foundation Degrees, Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), Social Work, Nursing, Midwifery and other associated health professional courses are exempt from ELQ rules for the purposes of tuition fees. Students in receipt of a Disability Allowance are also exempt from ELQ rules for the purposes of tuition fees.
