Unconditional Places to Full-Time Applicants
Due to the uncertainty around how long the Covid-19 outbreak will last, it has been agreed for the immediate future that we will be offering unconditional places to full-time (not University Level) applicants who apply to SGS College.
Once you apply for your course, you will receive a communication offering you a place.
You just need to accept the offer, if you wish to.
We will then be in touch to discuss the offer once the Covid-19 risk reduces.
