Admissions FAQs

What qualifications do you accept?

Please check the UCAS Tariff Tables spreadsheet for all accepted qualifications and point totals.

Can I apply for a course I was previously rejected for?

Applications to transfer must follow the Accreditation of Prior Learning procedure (APL, soon to be Recognition of Prior Learning/ RPL). Full instructions can be found on our Accreditation of Prior Learning webpage.

Please note that it is not possible for applicants to transfer from a foundation year. They would need to submit an application for first year entry like any other applicant.

What is a Higher National Diploma/Higher National Certificate?

A Higher National Certificate (HNC) is equivalent to 1 year study at University level, while a Higher National Diploma (HND) is equivalent to 2 years study. Both can be accepted and do not need to be in a specific subject area, unless specified by course entry criteria.

Can we accept international qualifications?

Please send evidence of transcripts and certificates to international@hope.ac.uk.

I am already a Hope student, what should I do if I want to change course?

The student will need to speak with their nominated academic advisor or nominated representative to discuss a course change.

I am not a Hope student, but would like to change my course

Please send a written request to admissions@hope.ac.uk.

When can I access my timetable?

You will have access to this once you have registered. You should contact the school directly for a provisional timetable or the timetabling team via timetabling@hope.ac.uk. 

When will I receive my registration task/confirmation letter?

This will be issued to applicants when all conditions of the offer have been met. Admissions will contact applicants to let them know which conditions are outstanding.

Can I defer my offer?

Deferring is only possible at certain times of the year (consult with Admissions). All applicants must meet their academic conditions before being able to defer. Applicants cannot defer twice.
