Academic Year 2024/25

The application cycle will open for academic year 2024/25 in October of this year.  If you wish to apply, please go to apply.tmc.ac.uk and make an application after the 1 October 2023.  We will then process your application in accordance with our Recruitment Procedures.

After we’ve got your application, we’ll then invite you down to meet with our tutors and have a chat about your career goals and future plans. This will usually be at the campus where you’ve applied to study.

It’s just a great way for us to get to know you and make sure you’re on the right course for what you want to do in the future. It helps us both to check you’ll be happy on your chosen course and enjoy your time with us.

After your interview, we’ll ask you to take two or three short tests on Maths, English and ICT. They’re more like quizzes, and they are absolutely nothing to worry about.

They’re taken on the computer and are just another way for us to get to know you and understand your current skill levels. It helps us to make sure you have the best possible support when you study with us.

You’ll get full, easy-to-follow instructions and plenty of time to answer the questions, so there’s no need to panic! We’ll be on hand to offer additional help if you need it too.

Once we agree that the course you’ve chosen is the right one for you, we’ll send you a conditional offer.

This just means that you’ve got a place on the course with us if you get the grades we’ve asked for. Once you do, you’ll be all set for enrolment.

After meeting with one of our tutors, you may already have changed your mind about the course you want to study. That’s not a problem.

If we don’t think you’ll enjoy your original chosen course, we’ll work together and help you find one that you’ll find interesting and will help you reach your goals.
