Applying online at www.ucas.com

All applications to study for a full-time higher education course at universities and colleges in the UK are made through UCAS using Apply – an online application system available at www.ucas.com. The application fee for this service is £17 sterling for more than one choice, or £7 sterling for a single choice. Depending on your circumstances, there are some slight differences to the way UCAS receives your application.

The 15th January, of the year of entry, is usually the final date for applications from both home and EU applicants to be guaranteed equal academic consideration. All those received after this date will be classed as late. You should confirm this date on the UCAS site when applying.

The University will make offers for each individual undergraduate programme in the form of subject, grades, units or UCAS Tariff Score.

You apply to Swansea Metropolitan University for all full-time PGCE (Post-Graduate Certificate in Education) courses through the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR).

Primary Applications

For Autumn 2009 entry your application should be sent to the GTTR between mid-September 2008 and the early closing date of 1st December 2008 to guarantee that you will be considered. Applications received by the GTTR after this date and before 30th June 2009 will be sent to Swansea Metropolitan University only if places are still available.

Secondary Applications

There is no set closing date for Secondary applications and Swansea Metropolitan University is not obliged to consider applications which were received by the GTTR by a specific date. The GTTR processes all applications received by 30th June 2009 and sends them to Swansea Metropolitan University if places on a particular course are available. Early application is therefore advised as there is great competition for places on the more popular courses.

In the case of a part-time or Postgraduate course, apart from PGCEs, applications may be made directly to the University.
