Now that you’re ready to start your student journey with us, find out about the different ways to apply. Here we’ll explain the three routes to get you started. How you’ll apply to depends on the level of study, and whether you plan to study full-time or part-time. Find out more about each of these three routes of applying below.
Applying through UCAS
You’ll need to apply through UCAS if you are applying to study a full-time undergraduate degree (BA/BSc/LLB), full-time foundation degree (FdA/FdSc), integrated Masters degree (MComp/MNSW/MEng) or on our MSc Physician Associate Studies course.
Our guide to applying through UCAS will talk you through the application process, with tops on writing your UCAS personal statement and guidance on entry requirements.
Applying through GOV.UK
You’ll need to apply through GOV.UK if you are applying to study a PGCE or Postgraduate Teacher Training course.
We recommend early application for these courses.
Our guide to applying for a PGCE or Postgraduate Teacher Training takes you through the application process, including tips on writing your personal statement.
Applying directly to Edge Hill University
You’ll need to apply direct to us when joining a postgraduate course (excluding PGCEs), a part-time undergraduate degree, a part-time foundation degree, our Fastrack course, a conversion (top-up) degree or a Subject Knowledge Enhancement/Subject Booster.
For many courses, this will involve an online application, although for some you’ll need to download and complete an application form. A small number of courses will require you to submit a CV instead. Information on the relevant application form is available on the individual course pages.
Our guide to applying directly will help to inform you further on the application processes.
Applying through an agent or partner
Our agents and partners are representatives for Edge Hill University in your country. They have plenty of experience in helping people to apply and will be able to guide you in making your application to study with us.
Once you have submitted the application form and the supporting documentation, the agent or partner will send to us.
Please note: Unfortunately we’re not currently able to accept applications from international students for pre-registration programmes in nursing, midwifery, operating department practice or paramedic practice, as well as dual awards in nursing and social work.

Are you considering studying with us but missed the chance to join in September 2024? You don’t need to wait until September 2025 to begin your studies with us. We have options for courses that start in January 2025.

Entry requirements
It’s important to remember our entry criteria varies depending on whether you are joining an undergraduate or postgraduate course. The entry criteria for our undergraduate degree programmes are usually shown as UCAS Tariff points. Entry requirements for Master’s degrees and PGCEs usually ask for a degree which for some courses may need to be in a relevant subject area and/or at a minimum award classification.
Our guide can help to explain more with regards to these typical entry requirements as well as guidance for EU and international students, surrounding alternative qualifications and any other additional requirements.
