What happens to my application?

Successful applicants who do not require an interview will receive a formal offer letter and further information about their course.

Can I change my course once I have applied?

Applicants can change courses if they meet the entry requirements for the new course and places are available. If the new course requires an interview or audition you will need to attend this before being offered a place.

Applicants must put their request to change their course in writing, either by post to the Admissions office or by emailing admissions@northampton.ac.uk.

Can I apply for direct entry into the second or third year of a course?

If an applicant has completed academic study that is equivalent to the first or second year of the course for which they are applying it may be possible to enter the course at the second or third year.

Applicants will need to apply through UCAS and provide a transcript or list of modules including their credit value on request. The Admissions Tutor will then consider the application.
