Admissions Policy
Introduction
The Admissions policy provides the basis for
admissions practice across the University.
1.1. Principles
1.11. The University seeks
and highly values diversity within the student community. We
endeavour, through our policies to ensure that all of our students
are given the opportunity to achieve their potential through
studying at degree level. In line with this objective, the
University is committed to recognising both academic and other
personal and professional achievements of each applicant.
1.12. The University
welcomes applications from candidates from all backgrounds. We
recognise that student potential is not always evident simply
through formal academic qualifications and we particularly welcome
applications from those who are currently under-represented within
higher education.
1.13. The University is
committed to ensuring equal opportunities for all our students. We
recognise that the University community is enriched by a diverse
student body made up of students from the UK, the European Union
and overseas.
1.14. In accordance with
our commitment to fair admissions, selection is made on the basis
of a variety of criteria. Evidence of suitability for study
includes academic achievement, professional and personal experience
and potential to succeed on the intended programme of study.
1.15. The Admissions Policy
aims to be fair to all applicants and to meet the legal obligations
applied through relevant legislation and University policies. A
list of the relevant legislation is in Appendix 1 and University policies are in
Appendix 2.
