The applications process is almost over for entry in September 2011. Application submission closed on 31st March 2011 and in the months since we have been busily finishing interviews and finalising offers as well as preparing for Welcome to College Day.
All in all, the application period has been a great success, 66% of applicants applied online which has allowed us to process and acknowledge the applications much faster as well as arrange interviews sooner. We have arranged over 3,300 interviews and made over 2,300 offers.
Many students came to one of the two Welcome to College Day events at the end of June. These sessions allowed students to get a tour of the College and familiarise themselves with the services and facilities of the College, as well as to enjoy taster sessions in all their subjects. This event was compulsory, so for those that did not turn up, they may find their place is not as secure when we enrol in August.
Over the next few months we will be organising enrolment and sending out appointments and information to all applicants we have offered a place to. It will be a busy time but we are looking forward to meeting all the new students during enrolment and hope that they are looking forward to it as much as we are!
Best of luck to all our potential new students with your results in August, please remember that you can contact us with any concerns you may have when you receive your results or still come to your enrolment appointment for additional advice and guidance.
It’s been a really busy, but a really great year so far and we are looking forward to doing it all again in October!
