How to Apply

You can apply for full-time Bachelor's degree courses, integrated Master's degree courses and most other undergraduate courses through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service).

UCAS handles most undergraduate applications for UK universities. It's handy because it means you don't have to apply to universities separately.

Each year, you can apply for 5 choices (5 courses at up to 5 universities) through UCAS. You can also apply to us directly on each course page.

Applying to UCAS through your school or college

If your school or college is registered with UCAS, you can apply online and submit your application to a member of staff who’ll send it to UCAS for you.

Your school or college will let you know how and when to do this.

Applying to UCAS directly

If your school or college isn't registered with UCAS or you want to apply to UCAS directly, register on the UCAS website and complete an application.

What to include in your UCAS application

To apply through UCAS, you need:

UCAS course codes for the courses you want to apply for – our course codes are at the top of the course pages and in our prospectus
