What is Apply Direct? 

With Apply Direct, you can bypass traditional application systems like UCAS and apply straight to the University Centre Rotherham course that you are interested in, and you can do so anytime throughout the year. 

Advantages of being able to Apply Direct

Its free to apply! We know the thoughts of doing an application process can be stressful enough without the added worry of application fees. With removing this barrier, we are aiming to help reduce anxiety and stress to create a more positive experience for applicants. 

For applicants coming directly from education who already have an account and are applying via UCAS, having this additional option of applying directly to us means you are still retaining your full allocation of 6 UCAS choices allowing you to still apply to other universities. 

Applying for courses all year-round offers significant advantages by removing the constraints of fixed UCAS deadlines. This flexibility allows you to apply when it best suits your individual circumstances, whether you are transitioning directly from education, returning after a gap year, or wanting to resume your education after a break as a mature student, you can apply whenever you feel up to doing so. 

Year-round applications also help alleviate the stress and anxiety often associated with strict application deadlines. This more relaxed approach provides ample time for reflection and research, empowering you to make more informed choices about your preferred courses. 

One other key advantage of year-round applications is the potential for faster entry into a course. Because there are no fixed intake periods, applications are reviewed by the admissions team as soon as they are submitted. This streamlined process can result in a quicker turnaround time for interview invitations and a reduced waiting period before commencing studies. 

Overall, the provision of year-round application opportunities, both online and at our open events, affords prospective students the enhanced flexibility, a more relaxed application process which facilitates more informed decision-making, and accommodates a diverse range of student circumstances.
