Will you reimburse my travel expenses?

If you travel to an interview or assessment centre travel expenses of up to £100 can be reimbursed.

How flexible are you with regards to academic requirements?

There may be some flexibility with regards to academic requirements if extenuating circumstances apply in respect of your academic qualifications. Generally, however, we do not deviate from our stated selection criteria. We take your whole application form into account and do not make decisions solely based on academic requirements.

Will I be able to highlight any extenuating circumstances in relation to my application?

If you would like us to consider anything that may affect your application, please highlight this in the relevant section on the application form.

What happens if my computer crashes whilst I am in the middle of completing my application form?

As long as you save your answers as you complete the application form, this will not be a problem.

Will you tell me how I did on the online tests?

Your results will not be automatically revealed to you. Unfortunately due to the volume of applications, we are unable to provide feedback until you have attended an assessment centre.
