UCAS is the admissions and applications website for UK Higher Education Programs. You must apply using the UCAS web page, and can only apply to 5 programs. You may apply to two different programs at the same University but that will count as 2 of your 5. It is important that you spend time deeply researching the options, as this will help you to narow to 5 courses that are 1) a good fit for you - are places where you will feel connected, engaged and supported-- and will do better, and 2) Will increase your ability to write a strong and compelling application.
There are two accounts nested together on UCAS that you will need to be familier with:
The HUB Account enables you to search, talk to students in the programs, save and gather information and much more.
The Application account is accessible through the HUB account, and is where you will apply to your maximum of 5 programs.
Additional Details to know:
The 2025/26 Buzzword is: Bazinga26
This will enable you to link your account to TISA. Please make sure that you do this.
If you want to apply to different programs at the same University, you may do so, but each program you apply for will count as one of your 5. Also keep in mind that you only have one Personal statement. (see next bullet point)
If you are applying to different types of programs you are still only going to write ONE essay so you have to figure out how to approach this. Please see your School Counselor for assistance.
