Apply now
Applications for September 2026 entry are now open and close Friday 12 December 2025
Applications can be made here. Below you can find some useful information about the application process.
Students can only submit one application to HNC, however they can amend their application choices, including at our admissions evening. Our post interview course change window also provides a period of time where a student can discuss amending their offer with us.
You may be attending a number of College interviews. If so, please remember you are free to accept places at as many institutions as you wish. This reserves your place on your chosen courses until GCSE Results Day, when you are then free to make a final decision if required. It is important to note that no College or Sixth Form can insist that you must make a choice and decline any other offers. We cannot reactivate any unaccepted offers after the acceptance deadline of Friday 24 April 2026. Our ability to offer places post GCSE Results Day is dependent on availability, and some courses are heavily oversubscribed. Therefore we strongly advise all applicants to accept their place.
All applications are reviewed ahead of being offered the opportunity of a place at one of our admissions evenings. This is an opportunity to explore your long term vision. This will include ensuring that we review predicted grades, attendance and behaviour to inform our ability to issue a conditional offer. Further advice, top tips and information will be shared in due course.
For the majority of applicants, a decision will be given at their admissions evening. For most students the outcome is a conditional offer. A conditional offer means that a student will be able to enrol on GCSE Results Day on the study programme for which they have been given an offer, subject to them achieving the published entry criteria for the course.
Once you have accepted your place, you will be given an invitation to log in to our online Campus HNC @ Home (live post GCSEs). This will invite you to explore HNC and complete some subject-based activities which will give you a head start and support you to understand where your programme of study and the life-changing opportunities on offer at HNC can take you.
You will also receive an invitation to our Welcome Event, Hudd Fest. This is taking place on Friday 10 July 2026. This event will provide you with an opportunity to meet fellow potential students and your new teachers, as well as providing a final opportunity to explore the College ahead of you joining us in September.
Enrolment at HNC takes place online via our student record portal, CEDAR and all students who have accepted a place will be sent detailed instructions ahead of receiving their GCSE results. You will be asked to upload your GCSE results online by 4:30pm on 20 August 2026 and complete the enrolment registration form. Both steps must be completed in order to enrol. You do not need to be available to come on to Campus, but you must be contactable via telephone during the enrolment period. You must remain contactable for these dates, or until you receive your enrolment confirmation email. If need to contact you but we are unable to, please be aware that your place at HNC will be at risk.
In the meantime, if you have any questions about your application, please get in touch. You can call Student Services on 01484 652341 or email studentservices@huddnewcoll.ac.uk
