Applying

Using the Apply online button on our course pages is the preferred option for pathway applications. This method allows you to upload your supporting documents at the time of application and automatically receive your student application number.

When you apply for a pathway programme, you must state which undergraduate or postgraduate degree you are intending to progress on to, upon successful completion of your programme.

If you are accepted you will receive one offer letter for the International Foundation Programme or Pre-Masters, followed by the appropriate degree programme. Once you have successfully completed the International Foundation Programme or Pre-Masters and achieved the required grades, you can gain direct admission on to your chosen degree at Northumbria.

If you are planning on applying through an agent, we recommend you first refer to the student guide for finding the right education agent from the British Council guide here:
