Important information
Please be aware that applicants for 2026 entry who have firmly accepted an offer to study will be contacted in due course to complete the DBS process. The DBS team are contacting course cohorts in order of urgency to complete the DBS process, starting in early summer, most cohorts will be contacted in late August, after A Level results day. Please do not be concerned if you have not yet been contacted.
Applicants who firmly accept an offer of a place will be contacted by the University via email with further information about completing the online DBS process. Please do not send any documentation through the post as our staff will not be available to receive these. If you are required to attend an ID checking session in person, you will be invited to a specific date and time, we cannot see applicants or students on an ad hoc basis due to hybrid working patterns.
All non-UK domiciled applicants/students are required to complete a DBS disclosure application and provide us with a Police check/Certificate of Good Conduct from their home country (with a certified translation into English if necessary). Guidance can be found on the DBS website.
Any applicant/student who has lived outside of the UK for 6 months or more within the last 5 years will need to provide a police check from the country/countries previously resided in.
Applicants/students must email a copy of their Police check/Certificate of Good Conduct along with a copy of their passport or National ID card to the DBS Administrator as soon as possible. Applicants will be contacted after they accept an offer to study, with details of what is required and the email address to send the document to.
The DBS application will need to be completed upon arrival in the UK. Registered students will be contacted by the DBS team after they have arrived in the UK with details of the DBS process.
