What is the difference between applying and enrolling?
Applying and enrolling are two slightly different processes, but they both relate to a course you are interested in studying.
Applying: Think of applying for a course as an expression of interest. Applying for a course shows you are interested in that course. You might even have a couple of courses you are interested in, so you may apply for multiple courses. This is absolutely fine and the right thing to do if you want to make a decision later on. When you apply for a course, you will have the opportunity to do various events as part of your application where you come into one of our campuses and get a feel for the course and what college life is like!
Enrolling: When you enrol on a course, this is the point where you now commit to studying your chosen course. If you have applied for multiple courses, you will now need to decide which course you wish to enrol onto. Enrolment takes place in August, and you will receive an enrolment invite for your chosen course(s).
