Application Process

The main UCAS deadline is in January, however, we continue to accept applications from students after this date.

Students wishing to be considered for transfer into an HTE programme of study at Exeter College from another Higher Education Provider should read the following statement carefully before proceeding with an application.

You don’t need to have accepted your offer to apply for student finance, just apply with your preferred choice and you can update it later. If you are a UK or EU student and are interested in applying for funding, then we strongly recommend applying for student finance as early as possible. This will ensure your application is processed before the start of your course and help to avoid any problems.

You can find further details, dates and deadlines on the Gov UK website. If you would like further guidance at any stage of your application, then please contact us on 01392 400909.

You will usually hear back from us between January and May with an offer, depending on when we received your application. In some cases, you may be invited in for an interview before we make an offer, this is to get to know you and ensure the course is right for you.

Your offer will be either conditional (depending on results) or unconditional. It is important that you respond to us so that we know how you would like to proceed.

During the summer we will send you a welcome pack with information relating to enrolment and your course.

Keep an eye out for this information as it will include important dates and times for enrolling and starting your programme.
If you have any further questions over the summer you can always contact us on 01392 400909.

If your offer is conditional and you are waiting to receive your grades, you should receive exam results during August. If you achieve the entry criteria stated in the conditions, then your offer will become unconditional.

If you are concerned about your results and whether or not you still meet the entry criteria, then you can contact us on or after results day to discuss your options.

The Clearing hotline opens on A Level results day.

Enrolment normally falls within the first week of September, you will be given your course start date then which is normally within the following two weeks. This will give you time to settle into life as a Higher Technical Education student.
