Below are the aims of the College Admissions Policy.

Aims of the Admissions Policy

South Essex College is committed to equality of opportunity for all potential learners. We aim to create and maintain conditions whereby applicants are treated solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential, regardless of ethnic or national origin, disability, gender, age, religion or belief, sexual orientation or other distinction.

We offer free, unbiased advice and guidance about all the programmes available at the College. We aim to recruit students to the programme that best suits their prior qualifications, experience, career aspirations and interests.

Our goal is to provide all potential learners with the opportunity to study the programme of their choice, providing they meet the relevant entry criteria.

In some cases, the number of applicants who meet the entry criteria for a course will exceed the available places for a programme. In this event we aim to recruit with integrity and ensure that available places are offered to applicants based on the agreed admissions process taking into account our commitment to widen participation and equality of opportunity.

Candidates who meet the entry criteria for a programme but to whom we are unable to offer a guaranteed place (i.e. Offer Subject to Availability) will be kept informed of the status of their application and provided with appropriate advice and guidance about other available programmes at the College.
