SELECTION PROCEDURE (Department of English)
The majority of our admissions decisions are made on the basis of information provided on the UCAS form. We aim to interview the majority of mature applicants (with relevant life experience) who apply by the UCAS deadline and who can demonstrate a commitment to English by engaging in recent study (eg Access). We also interview a proportion of other candidates who we consider borderline when considered alongside our standard entry requirements. Interviews will draw upon information provided in the interviewee’s personal statement; interviews may also be structured around a discussion of a short literary text. Any candidate offered a place will be given the opportunity to attend an open afternoon at which presentations are made on various aspects of the BA programme, and to tour the campus. As we receive a large number of applications each year, entry is highly selective.KEY FACTS
