3. Interview

You will need to attend an interview at The Arsenal Hub, where our education team will ask you a series of questions to get to know you better and understand your reasons for applying. This will last no longer than 20 minutes.

4. Conditional offer

If you have been successful at the interview, a conditional offer will be made on the basis that you meet the academic entry requirements, before being officially accepted onto the course. Please make sure you are fully aware of the academic entry requirements of your conditional offer.

5. Pre-Induction

You will be invited to a pre-induction at the Arsenal Hub during the summer break where you will be able to familiarise yourself with your surroundings, understand the course in more detail, and meet your new classmates.

6. GCSE Results Day

GCSE grades on results day should be submitted to the education team who will review them and ensure that the course you have applied for is still suitable for your next steps, or if another course may be more appropriate.

7. Welcome

Congratulations! We look forward to welcoming you as an Arsenal Student and we will keep you up to date with all the information you may need in preparation for induction week.
