How to apply

1. Select your degree and study options
Once you've chosen from our range of online degrees, decide:
when you’d like to start (you can start any month from July 2025)
whether you want to study full or part-time.
For UK students, the total fees for our online degrees will be the same – whether you choose to study full or part-time – and we offer funding options to make learning more affordable and accessible. Find out more in our guide to tuition fees and funding.

2. Check you meet the eligibility requirements
Admission criteria vary depending on the degree you select.
Check you meet the entry requirements for your chosen degree.
Want to transfer credits from previous study, or transfer institutions? See if we can recognise your prior learning.
We strive to support students to succeed, whatever your background, and we encourage you to contact us to explore your options if you don’t meet the academic requirements.

Applying for a student loan? Apply now to avoid delays
If you’re planning to fund your degree with a student loan, we recommend applying for your loan at the same time as your Walbrook degree application. Why? It can take up to 6 to 8 weeks for your loan to be approved and funding to be processed.
Starting both applications together can help make sure your funding is in place once your degree has started. Have questions about UK student loans? See our guide to UK Student Finance.

4. Upload your documents
If you didn’t upload proof of eligibility to study as part of your online application, you’ll need to do this now. The documents you'll be asked to upload will vary depending on your:
level of study (undergraduate, foundation year or postgraduate)
previous academic experience
previous work experience
Once your documents are received, our Admissions team will review everything to confirm your eligibility. Depending on what you’ve submitted, you’ll receive either a conditional offer with steps to complete, or an unconditional offer confirming your place.
Take a look at the documents we may ask for:

What happens after you submit your application?
Once we’ve reviewed your application, you’ll receive an outcome by email. You’ll either be offered a place — conditionally, if we need more details, or unconditionally, if we can confirm your eligibility straight away. If we’re unable to offer you a place, we’ll let you know why and share your next steps.
Receive your conditional offer
Once you've submitted your application, our Admissions team will review the information you've provided. If you're eligible to study with us but haven’t yet uploaded all required documents, you’ll receive a conditional offer by email.
This offer means you're on track to join us – but we’ll need to receive and verify your documents before your place is confirmed.
We’ll include clear next steps and deadlines in your email, so you know exactly what’s needed.
Receive your unconditional offer
Once you've submitted all required documents and we’ve confirmed your eligibility, you’ll receive an unconditional offer to study with us.
This is your official confirmation that you're eligible to start your degree. The next step is to secure your place by arranging your payment.
Note: If you submitted all your documents upfront and meet the entry requirements, you’ll skip the conditional offer stage and move straight to an unconditional offer.

5. Pay for your full programme or for your first module(s)
Once you’ve received your unconditional offer, you’ll be invited to make your first payment to secure your place. You’ll be asked to do one of the following, depending on your preference:
Pay for your first module(s) depending on your chosen study duration:
full-time students need to pay for two modules upfront to confirm their place.
part-time students pay for one module upfront to confirm their place.
Pay for your degree programme in-full (and receive a 15% reduction on your total tuition fees).
This step must be completed at least 7 days before your chosen start date – otherwise, your start will be deferred to the next monthly intake.

Postgraduate students (using a Master's Loan or self-funding)
If you've applied for a Master's Loan, you’ll receive your first loan instalment after you start your degree studies. This means you’ll need to pay for your first module(s) yourself before your degree begins, as you won’t receive any loan funds until after your start date.
6. Officially enrol as a Walbrook student

Once you've paid for your first module(s) or your full programme, we’ll invite you to complete your registration. This includes uploading proof of ID and completing your HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) form.
Once that’s done, you’ll be officially enrolled.
Active participation in your studies
During the first few weeks after your start date, we’ll check to confirm your active participation. This process helps ensure you’re settling into your studies and making progress in your course. Active participation includes:
logging into your online study platform
accessing your course materials.
Important for students using a tuition fee loan:
Once we can confirm you're actively participating in your course, we’ll notify the Student Loans Company (SLC):
At this point, your Master's loan will be released to you in instalments.
