We’ve been busy answering your queries, so we thought it was time for another ‘Top Questions’ blog post. Here’s what you’ve been asking!<\/em><\/p>\n

What is Extra and when does it start?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Extra is for applicants who have used all of their uni choices and want to apply to BU.\u00a0 Please note you can only apply to one course at a time, meaning you’ll not be able to have an insurance choice.\u00a0 From 25 February<\/strong> you\u2019ll be able to apply through UCAS<\/a>.\u00a0 Please check our\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0to find out which courses are open for Extra. There will be more information coming soon!<\/p>\n

When can we start applying for student finance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can apply for your student finance through\u00a0Student Finance England<\/a>\u00a0from Monday 29 February.\u00a0 Look out for further announcements on our Facebook<\/a> page, and you can see all the information so far on our website<\/a>. You may find these student finance\u00a0videos<\/a>\u00a0and other resources helpful too. You can also find details of additional financial support available from BU for students commencing study in September 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can I have an update on my application?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We appreciate that this is an anxious time and it takes 6 \u2013 8 weeks for an application to be processed. As soon as our admissions team has reached a decision, this will be updated via UCAS track<\/a> and MyHub. If you are a Hotmail user, you may wish to check your spam or junk box for emails.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been invited to attend an interview and would like to know what I need to bring with me.\u00a0 Also, what is the dress code?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congratulations, you\u2019re halfway there!\u00a0 The Admissions Team will have emailed you the individual details as to whether you need to do anything\u00a0before your interview<\/a>. The dress code is smart casual.<\/p>\n

I have learning difficulties and wondered what kind of support I would get during my studies with BU.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Additional Learning Support Team<\/a> works with students on and off-campus that have sensory\/physical disabilities, specific learning differences, medical conditions or mental health conditions.\u00a0 They provide information, advice and guidance for disability-related issues, deliver individualised programmes of support on a one-to-one basis to enable independent learning, and help with developing employability skills that will be needed during practice, placements and beyond graduation.<\/p>\n

If you’ve got any more questions, leave us a comment below and we’ll get back to you. You can also find about more about BU at one of our webinars<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
