Admissions

Applying to Oak Hill

 

Applications for September 2024 entry are open.

If you're interested in full or part time study, on an undergraduate or postgraduate programme, this section of the website lets you know how the application process and timings work. 

Our Admissions Policy governs our admissions process; you can see the full policy, and our Student Enquirers Privacy Notice at the bottom of this page.

1. Attend an open morning

We'd love to meet you in person and start to get to know you, and the best way to do that is to come to an Open Morning.  You'll get a much better feel in person for our ethos, student experience and training and you'll have plenty of opportunity to ask your questions.  Visit our open morning page to see the in-person and Zoom options for 2023/24.
