Application to study at Moorlands College
Thank you for your interest in Moorlands College. We hope you enjoy the application process and if you have any queries along the way, do get in touch
Before you start…
The goal of the College’s admissions processes is to determine your potential to succeed in and gain benefit from the studies for which you are applying. We seek to do this in a way which gives appropriate support to you as an applicant and, potentially, as a student.

Both our undergraduate programmes are designed with a vocational aim of equipping students with the qualities and skills for graduate level employment in Christian contexts and in roles requiring similar characteristics, including, in the case of the Applied Theology (Youth and Community Work) programme, roles in the youth work sector. If you would like to learn more about these aims, they are laid out in full in the programme specifications. For further details, please contact the Admissions Department.

Most of the questions asked below enable the College to assess your suitability for the programme being applied for and the vocational futures for which it is intended to prepare people. In addition to those questions, as a UK Higher Education Institution registered with the Office for Students, we are also obliged to ask all applicants about other personal details. This ensures that we can meet the highest standards as a college, particularly in supporting people from disadvantaged backgrounds and ensuring that we meet all regulatory requirements relating to equalities and diversity.

On average, this form will probably take between 60–90 minutes to complete. You can always save your application and return to it later.

You might find it easier to have some information to hand, before you make a start:
- A passport-style photograph, ready to upload.
- A list of your previous education and employment details.
- A written statement, describing why you’re thinking about studying at Moorlands, and what major factors have helped you most in your personal and spiritual development
- Contact details of three referees; including your church leader or equivalent leader who is able to comment on your character and skills.
How to save your progress (all without creating a Jotform account)
