Enrolling on a Certificate of Higher Education or short course
An email address is required for enrolment; if you do not have a personal email account you can find information on our website about setting up a personal email account.
Module enrolments marked ME
Most modules in the Certificates of Higher Education and short courses prospectus are part of Certificates of Higher Education, however you can choose to only study one or more modules without completing the whole programme if you wish.
There are usually no selection processes or interview for module enrolments (marked ME in the online/printed prospectus); you can normally enrol immediately by paying the module fee in full.
Module enrolments marked ME(P)
Some modules are marked ME(P) (modular enrolment with prerequisites): you can enrol on these modules as long as you meet the required prerequisites.
Programmes marked PA
Those programmes marked PA are Certificates of Higher Education that have a selection process; you will need to complete an application for these programmes and will be able to enrol later if your application is successful.
For these courses you are required to apply for the whole programmes of study and cannot take individual modules.
How to enrol
For all module enrolment ME or modular enrolment with prerequisites ME(P) courses, you can enrol online without any application process. For all other courses you will be invited to enrol after your application has been processed and you have been made an unconditional offer of a place. During the enrolment process you will be asked a few questions to identify if you are eligible for any discounts offered.
If you are eligible for a discount this will be deducted from your fees and you will need to bring in proof of your eligibility for the discount within 28 days of enrolment.
Your enrolment will be completed:
- by paying your full fees
- by paying your first instalment and setting up a direct debit to pay the remaining instalments.
- by making a Promissory Enrolment in which you make a specific agreement to ensure your fees are paid.
Discounts, fee waivers and bursaries
If you apply for a discount, fee waiver or bursary this will also be treated as a Promissory Enrolment in which you will have 28 days to bring in the relevant supporting documentation before you become liable for the full fees.
There are usually no selection processes or interviews for these courses and students are admitted on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.*
* In order to be admitted to the College, an applicant must satisfy the general entry requirements of the College and any additional requirements where prescribed for a specific programme of study.
