Important dates and information.

At the University of Northampton we offer three start dates a year; in January, June and September, so you can start your studies at a time that suits you. Please be aware that courses may close once full, so early application is recommended and you should check for updates posted on this page.

For information on the additional support we can offer you as an international student, please visit our international student support pages.

It is important to make sure you send all available documents when you apply. This will help us make a decision more quickly.

  • Applications and Acceptances

    Due to high demand for places, we are no longer accepting new applications or making offers for international students for the September intake. If you have already applied and not received an offer or any feedback, you will need to consider the next available intake. We recommend you contact one of our Principal Representatives or recognised agents in your country for guidance with your application.

    If you have received an offer for a course starting in September 2023, please secure your place by submitting your conditions and paying your deposit at your earliest convenience. This is to allow time for you to apply for your visa and prepare to travel to the UK.

    CAS issuing

    We are issuing CAS for the September 2023 intake. If we have received your deposit payment and all required documentation, we will be working on your CAS. As part of this process, we will send you a draft CAS which will be available on your applicant portal. If we need any more information from you, we will request it through the applicant portal so please keep checking for updates.

How to apply

If you are a resident of China, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand or Vietnam, you MUST apply via the Principal Representative, or one of our recognised representatives in your country. Residents of Bangladesh must apply via the Pakistan Regional Office. Residents of Nepal must apply via the North India Regional Office and residents of Sri Lanka must apply via the South India Regional Office. Any direct applications received from residents of the countries listed will be forwarded by our Admissions Team to the relevant Regional Office, causing unnecessary delay to the processing of your application.

For residents of other countries, our recognised representatives are also our preferred method of application and you should take advantage of their services whenever possible. They can provide application and visa advice, general information about the University and a number of other support services.

It is important to make sure you send all available documents when you apply. This will help us make a decision more quickly. Further information on the application process and documents required can be found on our how to apply pages.

If you live outside of the UK and are successful in your application it is important you give yourself enough time to complete the application process, confirm your place, apply for a student visa and travel to the UK.
