How to apply

If you are applying to us for a full-time degree or extended degree programme, you will need to apply online through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). And don’t hesitate to contact us at the same time. Either fill in an online enquiry form, or contact us at the details below!

This is the official applications service for the UK, and they will send your application details to each of the universities you have listed on your application.

When you register with UCAS, you will also receive a username and password so that you can access your application at a later date.

It is very important that you enter the correct institution code (for Roehampton this is R48) and course code for each choice. These can be found on the relevant course pages on our website.

Contact us directly if you have any questions.

Yes, we are putting in place extensive new plans for teaching, with more flexibility in how you will study during the first term of 2020 and also will take its impact into account when considering the results of students applying to us. Please visit our dedicated webpages to read more.

The Roehampton UCAS institution code is R48.

Your school, college or centre will give you a buzzword so you can link your application to them. You add this word to your application when you register to make an undergraduate application.

If you are applying independently, without a school or college, you do not need a buzzword.

If you are no longer at school or college you will need to apply to university as an independent applicant. When you register with UCAS they will give you a username and password so that you can complete your application whenever you like.

You will need to complete the online application, including your personal statement and will also need to supply a reference from someone who knows you well, and is able to write about why you are suitable for higher education.

If you apply through UCAS and we make you an offer, we will ordinarily make you one of the following types of offer:

Conditional Offers

This offer requires you to meet particular academic or other conditions before you can join the course of study you have applied for. This could be a combination of grade, scores or subjects and will be outlined in the offer communication that you receive.

Unconditional offers

An unconditional offer has no conditions attached. Unconditional offers are made with the expectation that you continue to work hard in your current course(s) of study. It is in your best interests to ensure you have good grades so that you are well equipped for university study and attractive to employers.

Our Admissions Team reviews all the applications we receive. They then make conditional offers to applicants who have not yet met the entry requirements for their course. Applicants who are predicted to nearly meet or exceed our published entry requirements and who have achieved a grade C/4 or above in their English Language and Maths GCSEs may be eligible to receive an unconditional offer.

Unconditional offers are made with the expectation that students who receive them continue to work hard in their current course(s) of study. If you receive an unconditional offer, it is in your best interests to continue to work towards achieving good grades in the qualifications you are currently studying. This will ensure you are well prepared for university study. Many employers will also consider the grades you achieved in GCSEs, A Levels and BTECs alongside your degree, it is important that you achieve the best grades to ensure you are attractive to future employers.

Although an unconditional offer does not have any academic conditions attached to it, you will still be required to complete a number of other steps before enrolling at the University. More information about this will be provided in your offer letter.
