Please note final study programmes are confirmed at Enrolment, subject to availability.

If you have changed your mind about the subjects that you have put on your application form, you can discuss other subject options with your interviewer in more detail.

Year 11 - Enrolment (August)

Enrolment interviews are in-person, on-campus, with a member of teaching staff to confirm your study programme. We will email you with your enrolment date and time before the end of the summer term.

Enrolment takes place over a three-day period although you will only be invited to attend on one of these days. The whole process usually takes about an hour, depending on any course changes or discussions that might need to be had.
