ACCESS AND WIDENING PARTICIPATION

Britts Imperial University College understands the importance of

widening-participation and encourages the underrepresented groups towards

higher education.

We assess applications with due consideration to the demographic and

personal background of applicants, particularly those adult mature learners

coming back to study after considerable gap in studies or returning after

employment.

The applications from these segments of prospective student groups

will be considered against the standard entry criteria of the programme that they

are interested in, demonstrating their suitability for the chosen subject. Evidence

of their relevant working experience may also be used as alternative evidence of

meeting the entry requirements for the programme.

FRAUDULENT AND MISLEADING INFORMATION

Britts Imperial University College expects that applicants will have

provided full, honest, and accurate information on their application form and in all

subsequent communications with the college. Where the college has reason to

suspect that this may not be the case, it reserves the right to investigate the

matter fully.

If, during such an investigation, the college ﬁnds that an applicant has

made fraudulent or misleading claims in their application, the college reserves

the right to withdraw any offer it has made.In cases where the fraudulent and/or

misleading information is discovered at any time after the applicant has enrolled

as a student, the college reserves the right to carry out its own investigations and

if it is found that there has been a deliberate attempt to use fraudulent and/or

misleading information, or relevant information was withheld, to obtain a place of

study, action will be taken to permanently exclude the student with immediate

effect.

If a student is permanently excluded for the reasons set out above, the

college may also, where appropriate, inform any other relevant professional

bodies and/or third parties about the exclusion from the college.
