To find out how to apply for a course, check the details given in the description of the particular course you wish to study - this tells you which organisation will deal with your application. The guidelines on this page tell you how to obtain further details about applications.

Full-Time Undergraduate Students

If you wish to apply for a full time undergraduate course please do so via the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) at http://www.ucas.ac.uk/ and click here for further information before applying.

Top-Ups

If you are a current student (studying on a Foundation Programme or HNC/D) and wish to top-up to an undergraduate programme, you will need to contact your Programme Director in the first instance and complete the Declaration of Intent Form which can be found on http://www3.cardiffmet.ac.uk/english/registry/enrolment/pages/top-upprogrammes.aspx.

The Programme Director will then need to inform Academic Registry if your are permitted to progress. This process excludes those applying for BSc Healthcare Sciences, BSc Human Nutrition & Dietetics, BSc Podiatry, and BSc Speech & Language Therapy where applications must be made through UCAS (http://www.ucas.com/) as these programmes have limited places and are funded either by NHS or NLIAH depending on the programme.

If you have not expressed an interest to progress and have been exited with an award, you will need to reapply through UCAS (http://www.ucas.com/).
