Some of our courses, typically healthcare and education subjects, require students to pass a DBS check. If it is not possible to obtain a DBS check for you you may not be able to study your chosen course. If we can offer an alternative course we will.
If you do not have the right to work in the UK you may not be able to take part in work placements, even where these are an integral part of the course. If you apply for a course which is unsuitable we will advise you of your options.
