UCAS

UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) is the central organisation through which students apply for higher education courses across the UK. At [School Name], we provide pupils with dedicated support throughout the entire UCAS application process—from researching courses to submitting personal statements and preparing for interviews.

Our Guidance team works closely with S5 and S6 pupils to ensure they are well-informed about their options and deadlines. Pupils receive advice on choosing courses, writing strong personal statements, and understanding entry requirements. We also offer support with applying to universities in Scotland, the rest of the UK, and beyond.

Parents and carers are encouraged to be part of the process, and we provide information evenings and resources to help families support their young person’s application journey.

For any questions or further support, pupils should speak to their Guidance teacher.
