NESCOL are not in a position to confirm a closing date for their applications this year for full time courses starting in August 2019.
What they have said is that interview booking will open on 14th January, so it is best to have your application in by then to be properly considered with the first interview opportunities. Courses are filled on a first come first served basis from these interviews. Please apply online at www.nescol.ac.uk as soon as possible even if this is a back up plan for university, S5/6 or employment.
