Applications - what you need to know
Online? Paper application form? Speculative letter?
How and when you apply will depend upon what you want to do. Some
courses have deadlines, ask your PA if you are unsure or need help.
Full-time courses
If you are applying to a sixth form or college in your area you should apply
from your online prospectus:

able to link to area prospectuses across West Yorkshire. You may be able
to apply to courses in other areas from your online prospectus. If not, ask
for an application pack.
