How to apply Full-time university-level courses
1
How to apply – If you are a UK student or have EU Settlement Status and you are only applying to the MET and no other universities or colleges, you can use our short direct application form - see gbmc.ac.uk/how-to-apply-university
– If you are a current MET student and will only apply to the MET and no other universities or colleges, you can use our short Progression Promise application form - see gbmc.ac.uk/ progression-promise – If you would like to apply to other universities/ colleges as well as the MET, please apply through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) at ucas.com. UCAS allows you to send your application to up to five universities. If you are currently at school or college, please ask your tutor for advice and a reference.

When to apply – We advise you to work on your application during the autumn term and submit your application before 26 January (UCAS deadline). If you are applying through UCAS, in order to guarantee that all the universities you apply to will consider your application, you are required to submit your application by their deadline. At the MET, we still welcome later applications as we may still have spaces available on some of our courses right up until the course start date.

Interviews – Once we have received your application, we will normally invite you to an interview. Offering you a place – If we decide to offer you a place, our offer may be unconditional, or it may be on condition that you achieve certain grades in your current studies. If you have applied through UCAS, your offer will be displayed on UCAS Track.

Accepting your offer – You must let us know whether you accept our offer. If you have applied through UCAS, once you have received offers from all the universities you applied to, UCAS will require you to accept one of your offers as your ‘firm’ choice and one offer as your ‘insurance’ choice. UCAS will set you a deadline, by which time you must let them know which offers you wish to accept. It is important that you accept via UCAS by your deadline date, otherwise they will assume you don’t wish to accept any offers.

Admission – If we have offered you a place, we will ask you to complete an enrolment form and invite you to your induction at the beginning of term. Deferred entry – We are happy to make deferred offers to students who plan to take a gap year before starting their degree course.
