Equal opportunities in admissions

The University policy in considering applications is to use an assessment of the applicant’s potential to achieve success as the criterion for selection. Admissions Tutors will therefore consider factors relevant to the applicant’s academic aptitude. No application will receive less favourable treated on the grounds of age, disability, ethnicity, marital status, nationality, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, social class, or ethnic or national origins. Any conditions for entry to a course will only be imposed if justifiable on academic grounds.
