How to Find Admissions and Application Information on the City St George's Website

Updated

Start in the prospective students area of citystgeorges.ac.uk. It is the section built for people who have not yet enrolled, and it is where admissions guidance, application routes and finance information sit. From the homepage, look for the prospective students link in the main navigation rather than searching the site; the site is organised by audience, so the same topic (for example, tuition fees) can appear differently for applicants and for current students.

What the prospective students section covers

The section is structured around the decisions an applicant has to make, so expect pages grouped roughly as:

  • Study options — subjects and levels, so you can confirm the course exists before hunting for its entry requirements.
  • Applying — the application route for your level of study, plus key dates.
  • Fees and finance — what you will pay and how payments are made.
  • Visits and contact — open days and enquiry routes if a page does not answer your question.

Because the university describes itself as "the University of business, practice and the professions," course pages tend to foreground professional practice and accreditation details. Read those before the admissions pages: they often determine whether you meet the entry profile.

Finding the application route for your level

The application route depends on what you are applying for, and the site separates these rather than offering one universal form.

Your situation Where to look first What to confirm
Undergraduate, first degree Applying pages in the prospective students section Whether the course uses the central UK undergraduate route or a direct application
Postgraduate taught The specific course page, then its how-to-apply link Deadline, required documents, and whether there is an application fee
Research degree Research degrees pages Supervisor contact and proposal requirements before applying
International applicant International pages within prospective students English language evidence and visa-related conditions

Do not assume a single deadline across the university. Course pages carry their own dates, and postgraduate courses in particular can close once filled.

What to prepare before you start an application

Gathering these first avoids abandoning a form halfway through:

  1. The exact course title and level — confirm it on the current course page, not a search result snippet.
  2. Entry requirements as written for your qualification system — check whether your country's qualifications are listed or whether you need to contact admissions for an equivalence judgement.
  3. English language evidence — the test type and score the course accepts, if you are not exempt.
  4. Academic transcripts and referee details — most postgraduate routes ask for these at the point of application.
  5. Funding position — check the fees and payment methods pages so you know what you are committing to; the site publishes payment methods, but do not read that as confirmation that any particular funding is available to you.

Checking fees and payment before you commit

The finance area sits under prospective students and includes a payment methods page. Use it to understand how payments are made, then check the individual course page for the amount. If you need a student loan or scholarship, look for the specific funding page rather than inferring eligibility from the fees page — eligibility rules are set per scheme and per course.

Common sticking points

  • Landing on current-student pages. If a page assumes you already have a login, you are in the wrong audience section. Go back to prospective students.
  • Assuming one application system. Undergraduate and postgraduate routes differ; follow the link on your course page rather than a general "apply" button elsewhere.
  • Missing course-specific deadlines. General admissions pages give the process; the course page gives the date.
  • Unclear equivalency. If your qualifications are not listed, contact admissions before applying rather than guessing — a wrong self-assessment wastes an application cycle.

If a page does not answer your question, the contact details for admissions are the correct next step; the site's enquiry routes exist precisely for cases the published guidance does not cover.
