Applying to university

As a sixth form student you will be studying to get the qualifications you need to progress into university or employment. The majority of our students go on to study at university when they have completed their sixth form courses and we have a good record of getting our students into top courses at the best universities in the country.

All Upper Sixth students who intend to apply to university will be given all the help they require from our experienced staff, starting in their lower sixth year. Students should finalise their applications as soon as possible in the autumn term of the upper sixth, and no later than the college deadline of 30th November. It takes approximately two weeks for teachers to complete their references and once the universities receive applications they start to send out offers.
