Once you've met all of your offer conditions and enrolment opens we'll send you two emails.
Online Enrolment will open on 8 September 2023. If you haven't received emails from the AUB Admissions team about your application by this date, please contact admissions@aub.ac.uk ASAP to ensure that your application has your correct email address. If you have any queries about your Online Enrolment, please contact studentrecords@aub.ac.uk.

If your offer is still conditional, you still need to send us your results (unless we get them from UCAS). Even if you haven’t met the exact conditions of your offer it’s important that we have your results so we can make a decision – we might still offer you a place if we’re confident you have the potential to succeed.

UCAS have some more details on their website. If your qualifications aren’t on this list (including GCSE results), or you applied to us using the application form on our website, then you’ll need to send evidence of your results to our Admissions team directly.
Please email your proof of results to admissions@aub.ac.uk Don’t forget to include your name, course and AUB ID number on the email so we can find your application.
In order to process your results we need clear scans/photographs that show your full name, the qualification name, the subject studied and the result grade and the name of your exam centre. We can't accept an email from you with your results listed - we need a photo or scan of your certificate/transcript (or if you’ve only just got your results, we can accept your results slip instead).
If your offer conditions ask for IELTS or another accepted English language qualification, we’ll need those to be sent through too. Please make sure you’re taking the right test for your AUB course – there’s a handy list on our website.
If you have any questions about our accepted English language qualifications then get in touch – please email the Admissions team, with the subject line: “English language qualifications”.
