When we receive your application through UCAS we will give it individual consideration. We will be looking at your previous examination grades and the promise of good future performance. Your personal statement and reference will show us your other skills such as personal motivation and commitment to your chosen area of study.
Interviews
Visiting universities will help you decide which course will suit you best. We like to give you the chance to visit so we will aim to invite you for an interview. You will have the chance to look around ECS and meet some of our students and staff, to see our facilities, and our resources for student learning. We will take you on a tour to see the city of Southampton and a hall of residence. If you have already visited us or cannot afford the time or money to visit, we will consider making you a ‘blind’ offer.
