All applicants should be able to demonstrate an intellectual ability to effectively engage with their chosen programme of study at degree level. This intellectual ability will normally be solely assessed by predicted or actual qualifications and/or exam results. However, where applicants are unable to demonstrate the requisite potential through actual or predicted grades, assessment of suitability for entry to one of our courses will be based on the information in their UCAS form - mainly their personal statement and references. Such applicants are usually invited for interview, where their interest in, and aptitude for, their chosen course will be assessed
Notes for Welsh Language Applicants We recognise that if you are a Welsh speaker you may feel more comfortable speaking to a Welsh speaking personal tutor. Provided there are Welsh speaking members of staff in your subject area, every effort will be made to allocate a Welsh speaker to you. If you wish, you can also submit your assessed work and take your examinations through the medium of Welsh, regardless of the language of tuition of the course you are following. Some of the accommodation at Senghennydd Court and Talybont student residences has been allocated for Welsh speakers and learners who would like to be grouped together. If you would like to take advantage of this please make a note of this on your accommodation form.
