Key Dates

The journey to higher education begins with your son or daughter starting to research where and what to study and continues until they have joined a course and are enjoying student life.

With most degrees starting in mid-late September, we’ve highlighted the key dates in the eighteen months prior to when your son or daughter can expect to formally enrol onto a programme.

From the first time flicking through a prospectus, browsing a university website or attending a UCAS exhibition, to the excitement of results day and moving into halls of residence, the calendar below gives you an overview of the essential tasks that your son or daughter needs to complete. We also include the important deadlines that must be met, as well as featuring some of the opportunities to visit us.

If you have any queries about the process your son or daughter needs to follow in order to join a programme at Edge Hill University, please don’t hesitate to call Course Enquiries on 01695 657000 or email study@edgehill.ac.uk and we’ll be happy to assist you.
