Information for parents or guardians

We know that it can be stressful helping your child make the transition from school to university.

To ensure you all have the right information about what will happen over the coming months, we recommend that you read through this site with your child, and come along to Info Day. Remember, you can contact us at any time with questions that spring to mind.

Two important points of note are ensuring you know how offers are made, so your child has the best chance of getting an offer to the course they want, and how to enrol, to make sure they secure their offer once it is made.

If you need any information that is not covered in these pages, contact us – our trained advisers are on hand to answer all your questions. And don’t worry – no question is a silly question! If you're not sure, just ask.
