The application process

We’ll guide you through the next steps of the application process.

This includes understanding your offer, the opportunities to visit us on campus, and what happens in the run up to enrolment.  

  • Attend an applicant visit day

    Applicant visit days are exclusively for students who hold an offer to study with us. Each subject has a tailor-made programme for the day. If you are eligible to attend you will receive an email inviting you to book your place.

  • Understand and accept your offer

    Understanding your offer

    At Manchester Met we make conditional and unconditional offers.

    Before you accept your offer, there is some important information that we’d like you to read carefully about your course, contract, our admissions policies, and terms and conditions.

    Read more about your offer

    Conditional offers

    This usually means that your offer is conditional on you achieving certain exam results. You can find the specific details of your individual offer when you log in to the UCAS Hub.

    Once you have met the conditions of your offer, our admissions team will confirm that it is unconditional via the UCAS Hub and send you further information about how to enrol as a student at Manchester Met. This usually happens in August.

    What does my conditional offer look like?

    Your offer from Manchester Met might be:

    • A ‘grade’ offer, for example A-level grades ABB, or BTEC Extended Diploma grades DDM (distinction/distinction/merit).
    • A ‘tariff’ offer, for example 128 tariff points from GCE A-levels. Please note that Manchester Met does not count tariff points from AS-level.
    • It might also ask for a minimum grade in a specific level three subject, to ensure that you have the necessary knowledge and skills for your chosen course. For example 128 tariff points from GCE A-levels, to include a grade C in GCE A-level maths.

    Unconditional offer

    This means you have already met the entry requirements, though you might still need to provide proof of your qualifications or have a DBS (criminal records) check.

    Our admissions team will write to you with further information on how to enrol as a student at Manchester Met in August.

    Accepting your offer

    When you’ve decided which courses you’d like to select for your firm and insurance choices, log in to the UCAS Hub to accept your offer.

    Make sure you check your personal UCAS deadlines on the UCAS Hub.

  • Apply for student finance

    It’s important you apply for student finance early on to make sure your tuition fee loan and maintenance loan are in place before September. Student Finance England applications usually open in late February/early March.

  • Get ready for university

    If you are holding a conditional offer with Manchester Met, we’ll be in touch once we receive your A-level results to let you know if we can confirm your place. 

    If we confirm your place, we will be in touch to let you know when online enrolment is open. This is usually a few days after A-level results day.

    If your place with us is confirmed as unconditional, our accommodation team will be in touch with you in July or August to let you know if you have been successful in securing student accommodation.

  • Join us for welcome and induction week

    After A-level results day, we’ll be in touch to let you know how you can access your personalised welcome page. Here, you’ll be able to find all the information you need about enrolment, induction and welcome week activities.

    We’ll make sure you have the best possible start to life at Manchester Met.
