How do I apply to university?
This is your definitive guide to the process and stages of applying to university.
It is important to do plenty of research when looking at university. Look into the courses that interest you the most and what those courses could lead onto. You should also look into the costs associated with university and the funding sources available to you.
Not sure where to start? Try taking a look through the Career Pilot website to help you plan your future. You can also request a prospectus and browse courses online.
If your main language is not English, you will need to show us that your English is at the right level to enable you to study here successfully. The majority of undergraduate courses require IELTS 6.0, with 6.0 in reading and writing, 5.5 in speaking and listening.
Once you have decided which course you want to study, have your personal statement and any other supporting documents, you are ready to submit your application. This is normally done through UCAS or by applying direct.
Applicant and interview days are special days for applicants where you can find out more about your chosen course and explore the university and city where you could end up living!
Once you have received your results you will receive an update from us letting you know if you have met the terms of the offer and what happens next.
If you are an international student, there are some additional steps you need to to take to confirm your place.
If you’re an international student you may need to apply for a visa to study over here. We will send you guidance on this once your offer is confirmed.
