Applying for a Part-time Course

To apply to study on a part-time course you will need to follow the appropriate part-time application process as shown on the individual course page.

Most of our part-time courses are available to apply online and applicants can apply directly from the course page on the website.

Short duration leisure and hobby courses such as arts, crafts and foreign languages are purchasable via our Online Store and do not require an application form to be submitted, and this will be made clear on the course page itself.

Most part-time courses will start in September, however they can start at various points during the year, and some smaller duration part-time courses will run more than once per academic year.

Please see the individual course listing for the next course start date or if you are unsure please call our Course Enquiries line on (01206) 712777.

Applicants will receive an acknowledgement email within one week of the application being received by our Admissions team, if you do not receive this you should contact the team on (01206) 712777 to check that your application has been received.

Courses will run subject to sufficient applications being received.

If you have any further questions about the application process, please contact us on (01206) 712777 or email info@colchester.ac.uk.
