Applying
Applying for a place at university can be a lengthy process and it‘s important to research and take your time to get it right.
Most applications for full time degree, Foundation Degree and HND courses are made through UCAS – the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. (Applications for part time courses are mostly made direct to the institution).
All applications for entry to courses offered at universities and colleges in the UK are now made online using Apply.
- This can be accessed from the UCAS website and provides a secure, web-based, online application system that you do not have to install. This means you can complete your form on a computer and it will be sent to UCAS via the web.
- Apply has full guidelines and online help text.
- There is also a guide called Applying Online which will be given to you if you are at school or college.
The Careers Wales website has all the help and advice you‘ll need to make the best application possible including deadlines you have to meet and tips on writing your personal statement.
