Overview

Blackpool and The Fylde College is a college for further and higher education based in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. It teaches full-time and part-time courses at further education, higher education and vocational levels, and also runs apprenticeships. The college works as a Regional Teaching Partner of Lancaster University. Since September 2016 it has held its own foundation degree awarding powers, so some qualifications come from the college itself. Teaching takes place at four main campuses spread across the Fylde Coast. The sites in Fleetwood make up a Nautical campus, where courses are taught for merchant seafarers and offshore workers. That campus delivers accredited safety, survival and fire training courses. Qualifications are awarded by the Scottish Qualifications Authority, by Lancaster University and by the college in its own right.

The fees shown are the annual tuition figures published in official UK course data (Discover Uni), which cover home-student fee caps. They are not international fees: universities set those themselves and no open dataset publishes them, so we show no figure rather than estimate one. If you need a Student visa you will also pay the Immigration Health Surcharge. Always confirm the fee for your specific course with the university before applying.

Study Guides Why Study in the UK? Four Nations, One Quality System The UK is four nations with their own higher-education systems, a public register of who may call themselves a university, and official course data you can check for yourself. Application Guides How to Apply to a UK University: UCAS, Deadlines and Clearing Undergraduate applications go through UCAS, with a 31 January main deadline and an earlier 14 October one for Oxford, Cambridge, medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses. Application Guides How to Apply for a UK Master's Degree Most taught master's and research degrees are applied for directly to the university. Here is how the process works, and why scholarship deadlines come first.

Admission requirements

How to apply

  1. 1Choose a course and check its start date and entry requirements. Undergraduate applications go through UCAS (the main deadline is 31 January; 14 October for Oxford, Cambridge, medicine, dentistry and veterinary); postgraduate courses usually take applications direct to the university. Scottish first degrees typically take four years, most others three.
  2. 2Confirm you meet the academic entry requirements. Offers are usually expressed as UCAS Tariff points or grades in A levels, Scottish Highers or an accepted international equivalent; international applicants are assessed on the equivalent of their own qualification.
  3. 3Meet the English language requirement. Most universities accept IELTS Academic or another accepted test; for a Student visa you may need a Secure English Language Test (SELT) from an approved provider, unless you are exempt.
  4. 4Accept your offer and request a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from the university, which must be a licensed student sponsor.
  5. 5Pay the Immigration Health Surcharge and apply for a Student visa on gov.uk, showing the maintenance funds required. Check gov.uk for the current fees and amounts before you apply.
