What happens if I don’t achieve my expected grades?
When we receive the notification of your results we will review your grades. We will then confirm places to applicants who have obtained our minimum entry criteria. This may differ from your current offer and could be lower depending on your programme and type of qualification.
Some programmes however, have professional body requirements regarding entry criteria. This may mean that we cannot offer the same level of flexibility. We will also ensure that current applicants with a conditional offer who do not achieve the minimum entry criteria are offered a place on one of our Integrated Foundation programmes (where there is an associated ‘with foundation’ programme) regardless of the outcome of your final results.
What is the latest date that I can start my programme of study?
The latest date for university enrolment is three weeks from the start date of the programme.
If you are unable to complete enrolment by this date due to extenuating circumstances please contact admissions@northampton.ac.uk and your situation will be reviewed.
Are you still accepting university applications?
Yes, the University is accepting applications and processing offers. We look forward to receiving your course application.
How do I apply for university for September 2022?
All applications for full-time undergraduate courses are completed through UCAS. The code for the University of Northampton is N38. You will need this to complete your application.
You can apply for a course from 7 September 2021. The closing date for applications is 26 January 2022. Late university applications are accepted but are not guaranteed the same level of consideration as applications made before 26 January 2022.

If you are an International student, please see our information about applications for international students.
When will I hear if I have an offer?
Applicants can expect to receive a decision within 21 days of the closing date. Courses that require an interview, portfolio submission, audition or Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check may take slightly longer. We will write to you explaining the next stage in the application process.
If your application is successful and you are not required to come to an interview, you will receive a formal offer email. You will then receive further information about your course.
Can I change the course I applied for?
It’s possible to change your course if you would like to. This would depend on meeting the entry requirements for the new course and whether there are available places.
If the new course requires an interview or audition you will need to attend this before being offered a place. You will need to email admissions@northampton.ac.uk to request a change of course. State your full name, your current and new course, and student number.
What type of university offer could I receive?
Each university application is considered on its own merit. Receiving an offer to study with us is a clear indication that we would welcome you as a new student on the course you have applied for.
The most common offer is a Conditional Offer. However, you may also receive one of the following types of offers depending on a number of criteria. As an example, the course you have applied for, whether you attended an interview, completed a practical activity and your predicated grades:
There may be other non-academic conditions you need to meet. For example, this could include getting a standard DBS check or providing proof of your qualifications. If you are unsure of these conditions, please check the New Students webpage or contact admissions@northampton.ac.uk.
