Applying for undergraduate study

Applications for 2025/6 are still open

If you missed the equal consideration deadline in January, there's no need to worry as there is still time to apply. Applications received after this date may be considered if there are spaces available once the on-time applications have been considered.  

Alternatively, if you didn't receive any offers or declined the offers you received, you can apply via UCAS Extra. Later in the cycle, there will also be an opportunity to apply for a course through Clearing from July. 

For part-time undergraduate courses, please use our online application form.

Please note:
If you are an international student who wants to study a university preparation programme, you can find out how to apply directly through the LJMU International Study Centre website.

Applying through UCAS

After selecting your undergraduate course, submit your application through UCAS. UCAS will forward your application to your chosen universities. At LJMU, we review applications promptly and in detail.

Some decisions are only based on your application. Others may involve an interview, audition, assessment, or portfolio submission. Check our course pages for specific entry requirements.

Your application steps

Completing your DBS check

Some courses will require you to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) Check, often known as DBS check, to enrol on the course. A DBS check allows us to check your criminal record to decide whether it is suitable for you to work with vulnerable groups during your study.

You will receive an email from dbs@ljmu.disclosures.co.uk containing your personalised link to submit your details. This is through a secure service called Atlantic Data.

There are four simple steps to completing your DBS check, but you must start this process as soon as you can, as a delay in receiving your DBS might mean a delay in enrolling on your course and receiving your Student Finance payments.
