UCAS is the admissions and applications website for UK Higher Education Programs. You must apply using the UCAS web page. It is highly recommended that you download the the UCAS App for your phone. You can both explore and track your applications from this app, and it will also help you find scholarships that you might be eligible for. This additional Scholarship finding feature is only available on the app.
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 is accessible through the HUB account, and is where you will apply to your maximum of 5 programs.
Additional Details to know:
The 2024/25 Buzzword is: 2025TISATitans
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.
