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.

Important information regarding visa applications

Please be aware that UKVI is prioritising Ukraine Visa Scheme applications and as a result other applications are taking longer to process. It is important that you apply for your visa as early as possible, so you can join us for your studies at the start of term. Check the student visa gov pages for the latest information.

As a result of longer than normal visa processing times many of our important deadlines are earlier than in previous years.

How to apply

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

These are:

  • Copies of all educational certificates and transcripts achieved to date
  • Evidence of your English language competence
  • A personal statement (SOP)
  • A reference

Delay in sending any of these documents may prevent you from joining us on your preferred start date.

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.
