Terms and conditions

Please note:

• The university reserves the right to amend deadlines, at short notice, based on application volume. All students who have registered for updates from Northumbria will be notified if deadlines change and will be given at least 3 days’ notice before courses close, where possible. Please click here to register for updates.
• The university reserves the right to defer applications where it is not possible to make offers to applicants for a particular intake.
• Applying by the application deadlines does not guarantee an offer if candidates do not meet our entrance requirements, if there is no capacity, or if it is unrealistic to apply for immigration permission/travel to the UK. 
• Applications must be fully completed before we can consider them for an offer. Please note that we cannot guarantee to process incomplete applications received ahead of the deadline. 
• We may be unable to progress your application if you fail to respond to your offer within the specified timeframe and your application may be withdrawn.
• The university reserves the right to defer any applications where a deposit has not been paid or CAS has not been requested by any deadline communicated to you.
• Northumbria University is committed to providing an inclusive and diverse student experience, and to ensuring that students have the opportunity to access our education regardless of the country where they live. We also have a responsibility to provide an optimum student experience for all students and we recognise that diversity in our community is an important part of creating a multi-cultural and positive student experience. In addition, education systems and processes across the world are varied, with students achieving their award outcomes at different times. To that end, it may sometimes be necessary to close application routes for students from particular regions for particular courses ahead of any overarching deadline to ensure a balanced and diverse student body and so as not to disadvantage any student due to the timings and features of the education systems of their countries. In the event that we are oversubscribed with applications from a particular country that could significantly imbalance a student cohort in any one programme (anticipated more than 50%), we may close to new candidates from that region for individual programmes. In that instance, we would provide three calendar days notice that we intend to close to particular country,  to allow any students who are keen to be considered to submit an application. We will notify students of our intent to close via our website and by email to any students who are registered on our mailing lists. In the event that we cannot offer a place for the original intake requested (and the candidate is suitable) we will offer a deferred intake place.
