Admissions Guidance for Teachers and Advisors

We understand that supporting students is a significant task for teachers and advisors. To help you support your students (and our applicants) we have a range of information, advice and guidance available to you:

• UCAS references: advice on how to write an academic reference for your students.
• UCAS Personal Statement: current advice for applicants on how to write their personal statement.
• UCAS Personal Statement 2026: information about the changes to the UCAS personal statement for the 2025-6 admissions cycle (for entry in 2026 or 2027).
• Contextual Offers: for information about our contextual offer scheme.
• Mitigating Circumstances: for applicants who face additional challenges during their level three qualifications.
• Unsuccessful applicants: we provide feedback in the UCAS decision if an application is unsuccessful. This page outlines these reasons in detail for the applicants and may be useful for you when supporting them.
• Admissions Policy: for more information on our admissions policy and complaints procedure.
