The university has an innovative careers service which in 2005 achieved accreditation against the Matrix standard - the nationally recognised quality standard for information, advice and guidance. Sports facilities include an £8.4m indoor sports complex and swimming pool. A £4.3m redevelopment of outdoor facilities was completed in 2005. Water sports are popular with students, thanks to our coastal location.

If the IELTS (or equivalent) is 5.5 or above (or equivalent), but below 6.5 (or equivalent), the application will be processed in the usual way but any offer will be made conditional upon attending and being successful in an intensive language course of appropriate duration in the University's Language Centre, and on subsequently getting 6.5 (or equivalent) or above in IELTS (or equivalent).
If the IELTS (or equivalent) is 6.5 (or equivalent) or above then no language competency condition will be attached to your offer.
The above criteria are applied without prejudice to the rest of the selection process and they do not preclude us from attaching other conditions to your offer or from rejecting your application on other grounds. A record is kept of all applications in each of the three categories above so that we can monitor our equal opportunities policy in action.
