Campus-based Students

Undergraduate applications should be made through UCAS and can be made from the September of the year before you intend to start at university. There are no required subjects at A level for the study of Information and Library Studies but there may be requirements for joint honours combinations.

Mature students are welcome as are applicants with other educational qualifications, and students from overseas.

Visiting Open days are arranged throughout the year and these present the applicants with an opportunity to meet staff and current students as well as see the facilities available. Check the main university pages for the latest dates.

The university's undergraduate admissions office can also help with enquiries.
