UNIVERSITY-LEVEL STUDENT INFORMATION
Our university-level students have access to dedicated support services, and a friendly academic community designed to help them thrive. From learning resources and wellbeing support to financial advice and enrichment opportunities, we provide everything you need to succeed throughout your higher education journey.
Admissions Information
How you apply for your higher education course depends on whether your course is full-time or part-time. Scroll for more information.
Applying for a full-time university-level course
Students intending to study a full-time Higher Education course at Nescot should register and apply through UCAS. Nescot’s UCAS code is N49.
The UCAS code for each course is shown on the course pages. If the course is still being validated you will see ‘contact us’. Please call us on 020 8394 3038 or contact us online and we will be happy to help.
For enrolment on courses starting in September, you will need to have submitted your application to UCAS by January of the same year. If your application is later than this, then you may not be accepted on your first choice of course.
Applying for a part-time university-level course
Applications for part-time courses should be made directly to Nescot from the course page. There is no final date for applications to most of our university-level courses, but as some are in high demand you should apply as early as possible.
Once we receive your application, our Admissions team will get in touch shortly. Depending on your circumstances and on the course you have applied for we will either make you a conditional or unconditional offer of a place, invite you for an interview, or offer you further information and advice.

Office for Students (OfS) Information
Nescot has developed its Office for Student Information policy to ensure that its higher education students’ reasonable expectations for fairness and transparency of information and process are met.
The policy reflects advice from the Competition and Markets Authority and HEFCE best practice. For further information see our Terms and Conditions (HE Students) Policy on our policies page.
The information published in the report below shows the number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with us in the academic year 2022/23.
It shows these numbers by reference to:
- The gender of the individuals to which they relate
- Their ethnicity
- Their socioeconomic background
It is important to note that the data presented has not been contextualised. This means, for example, that you will not be able to see from this data how many of those applying to courses met the entry criteria. It is also the case that universities and colleges will often receive many more applications than they have spaces on courses and so offer rates will necessarily be lower than application rates in those circumstances.
