Your application will be processed based on your first choice. Courses at North West Regional College are viable once sufficient numbers have enrolled. Where a course is offered at more than one College campus, there may only be sufficient enrolments to offer it at one location. In this case students may be offered the opportunity to undertake the programme at an alternative College campus than their first choice.
• Entry to our courses may also be given to applicants who do not meet the formal academic requirements in this guide if they possess significant and relevant experience and ability.
• Entry criteria for some College courses may be enhanced where courses are over-subscribed.
• The College operates the NI Colleges and Universities APEL Scheme - a process through which learning achieved outside education and training systems is assessed and, as appropriate, recognised for academic purposes.
• If you’re preparing for examinations you should submit your application form as soon as possible. Don’t wait until you receive your examination results to apply - some of our courses are very popular and you may be disappointed.
