Transgender studying

I’m a transgender student, I’ve received an offer from the University of Plymouth and I’m thinking of applying there. However, I haven’t changed my name legally yet and I’ve only been referred to as my legal name on all the letters they have sent out. Will I be able to get my name changed on the system and have my preferred name on my student ID?

Hey there!

Congratulations, that's super exciting! What course are you hoping to come and study here?

Yes you can have your preferred name on your student ID!
