Non-urgent advice: Important
Before completing an application for any part of the national application process, applicants must read the full guidance available to them on this website. The hints and tips provided within an application form are intended as prompts only and these do not replace the detailed applicant guidance on the website.
Applicants are responsible for ensuring that they understand all relevant requirements and each stage of the application process before submitting an application. This includes application processes for Eligibility, Pre-allocation and the main application process for the 2-year Foundation Programme on Oriel.
