Prospective students can apply through platforms such as UCAS, the Common Application, or via a direct application.

Entry requirements for A Level applicants include meeting specific subject and general entrance requirements, including achieving three A Levels in one sitting. Subjects range from AAB to A*A*A. Predicted grades play a significant role in the application process. Additionally, for programs necessitating A-Level math, either "Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches" or "Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation at HL" will be accepted.
