When you are ready to submit, please click on the 'Apply now' button on this page to be taken to the STAR SharePoint site (we recommend you use Internet Explorer). In order to submit you will need to have the following ready:

• Application form saved as a PDF in the following format: 'Name_Application_Level' e.g. Smith_Application_D1  (See application forms)
• Reference 1 saved as a PDF in the following format: 'Name_Ref1_Level' e.g. Smith_Ref1_D1
• Reference 2 saved as a PDF in the following format: 'Name_Ref2_Level' e.g. Smith_Ref2_D1

If you have not attended a pre-submission workshop or drop in session we recommend you do so before submitting your application in order for a tutor to discuss your application with you.

Once your application is submitted, it will be checked by an adminstrator and forwarded to College reviewers. You will receive an email confirming your application number at this stage. After review, your application will be sent to the next available STAR review panel for consideration. A final decision along with feedback on your application will be emailed to you as soon as possible after the panel, usually within 10 working days. Review panel dates can be found in the box on the left hand side of this page.
