The Admissions Cycle runs from September to October and generally consists of the following actions.
Application - Applications are received, reviewed and processed by the Admissions unit, with each stage of the admissions process being recorded on the electronic admissions and student system.
Offers - Admissions staff make offers on behalf of academic schools for the majority of undergraduate courses and some postgraduate courses according to agreed set criteria. Ensuring applicants meet the specified academic and English Language requirements, comparability of non-UK qualifications, fee status and UKVI compliance issues. Please refer to Cardiff Metropolitan course pages, international pages and UCAS for entry requirements.
Interview - For Postgraduate and Research courses, as well as courses that interview or have professional requirements Admissions staff undertake the initial assessment and then refer applications to admissions course tutors within schools to make the decision. Applications which do not meet the standard admissions criteria are also sent to admission course tutors for their review and decision.
Borderline applications which do not meet the standard admissions criteria are also sent to admission course tutors for their review and decision.
Decisions - All decisions are processed by the Admissions Team and communicated to applicants via UCAS for those applying through UCAS, or for direct and international applicants via Cardiff Met’s application systems. Communication concerning decisions is also sent directly from Cardiff Met through e-mail from cardiffmet.ac.uk and letter from the Admissions unit. Applicants are advised to check their junk folders for correspondence.
