How to apply
Ready to apply? You’re just five short steps away from securing your place on a course.
Find your perfect course
First, find a course that’s perfect for you. You can search by the name of the course, or just the subject area if you’re not sure exactly what you want to study yet.
Submit the form
Once you’ve decided on a course, click the ‘Apply now‘ button on its information page. There’s a simple form to fill out that only takes a few minutes.
You can apply for a course between October, right up until the course begins the following September.
Come to a Consultation Evening
We’ll invite you to a Consultation Evening with our friendly Admissions Team and a course tutor. This is your chance to ask questions and to make sure the course is right for you. You will also learn about the extra support we can offer you.
If you change your mind at this stage, that’s okay. You can still apply for a different course in exactly the same way.
Receive your offer to study
After the Consultation Evening, we will either offer you a place or suggest a more suitable course for you. You can accept your offer via the Coleg y Cymoedd app or online account.

Frequently asked questions
Any questions? Find out everything else you need to know about applying at Coleg y Cymoedd and what to do on enrolment day.
We don’t tend to hold formal interviews. Instead, we’ll give you a timeslot to attend a small group talk about your chosen course.
This is your opportunity to ask the tutor any questions you might have – jot them down so you can ask them at the end. You can also request a one-to-one chat with them if you’d prefer that.
We’re here to help with whatever you need. Whether you ask us a question online or in person at the course talk, we’ll point you to the person with the right answer.
You’ll be greeted by our Admissions Team and they’ll take you to see the course tutor when your group talk is about to start.
You’ll find a full list of the course tutor who are attending on the reception desk. It’s also the place to find details of the support staff who can help you with things like wellbeing or financial information.
You can apply for as many courses as you like. That means you might receive offers for multiple courses at the same time.
But ultimately, you’ll have to decide on the right course for you, and in the end, you can only accept one offer and sign up for one college course.
These things happen, and that’s why you have until the end of September to to decide whether you like your course or not.
If it’s not working out, just let us know. We’ll help you figure out a solution, even if that means switching to a different course altogether.
