# How do I apply?

If you are making an application to start a full-time degree course in September then we encourage you to apply as soon as possible through [UCAS](http://www.ucas.com/).  However, if you have carefully considered your course and institution choices and decided that you wish to apply for a single course offered by the University of Bolton for September entry then you may apply directly to the University using our online application form.

Instructions on how to apply are given through every course page on our [subject area](https://greatermanchester.ac.uk/subject-areas).

You can find out more about our application and admissions processes on our [application and admissions page](https://greatermanchester.ac.uk/join-us/how-to-apply-and-admissions). Alternatively, you can call us at 01204 903394 or email [admissions-team@greatermanchester.ac.uk](mailto:admissions-team@greatermanchester.ac.uk).

At the University of Greater Manchester we are proud that for the past six years, we have been voted No.1 (Complete University Guide, North West) by our students for Student Satisfaction.
