What this college admission application asks, and why
A full admissions application in four named steps. The first collects personal details, address and citizenship. The second covers education: the most recent school, the highest qualification and subjects with grades. The third asks for the program, the start date, full- or part-time study and how the applicant expects to fund their studies; choosing a scholarship or bursary opens a question about which one. The fourth takes the personal statement, a transcript upload, optional photo ID and a declaration. A review step shows every answer before submission, and applicants can save their progress and return later.
