Key dates and information for International Applicants
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.
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.
Please be aware that applications may close at short notice for any intake.
