Reading the Prospectus

Where to find an institute's prospectus before you apply, and the forms it can take.

The prospectus (also called the guidebook) is readable before you apply and without signing in. It's there to help you decide whether to apply at all.

Three shapes it can take

Institutes publish differently, so the page adapts:

  • Read in the page — sections you can read straight through. This version offers Print / Save as PDF if you'd rather keep a copy.
  • A PDF — shown with its filename and size so you know what you're opening before you tap.
  • A link — some institutes keep their prospectus on their own website, and the page sends you there.

Which one you get is the institute's choice, not a setting you can change.

If nothing is published

You may be told the institute hasn't published its prospectus online, with a suggestion to contact the school office for a printed copy. That's the accurate answer rather than a broken page — there's nothing to reload or hunt for.
