UCAS (full name: University and College Admissions Service Center, or "University and College Admissions Service Center") is a public service organization that provides enrollment services for all universities in the UK. Different from other countries, the application for undergraduate degree courses in British universities must be made through UCAS. UCAS institutions are accredited by the British government or offer courses accredited by universities accredited by the British government. So whether you are a British student or an overseas student, you have to complete the formalities through UCAS.

Step by step online application

1. Login to UCAS system homepage:/

2. After logging into the system, you will usually search for courses and apply for or track your application. Applicants will first search for target institutions and courses through the former, and then register, apply and track the application progress through the latter.

(1) Searching for courses means using UCAS search tools to find undergraduate and conservatory courses. Students can search for universities and their courses by entering the course name, the name of the university or college offering these courses, the location of the school, your permanent residence and when you plan to enter the school.

Generally, there are two ways to retrieve results:

Courses and their affiliated colleges or universities;

Colleges and universities and the courses available.

Either way, the purpose is to facilitate students to find their favorite colleges and majors accurately.

The page of colleges and universities will have the address of the school and various contact information, the proportion of various personnel in the school, and various admission requirements and application-related items directly linked to the corresponding page in official website.

The course page mainly includes admission requirements, tuition fees, scholarships and how to apply.

(2) The procedures for applying or tracking your application mainly include the following steps:

Before formally filling out the form, you should register an ID, fill in your user name and password, and then you can log in with this. After registering the ID, you can use it to log in repeatedly and fill in the information needed by the system. After successful registration, log in again to improve your personal information.

Next, enter the course and school selection link, and you can choose up to 5 courses, in no particular order. (It should be noted that there are two restrictions: if you apply for medical, dental, veterinary and veterinary courses, you can only choose four courses, and the fifth course is courses in other fields; Oxford and Cambridge can only choose one course. )

Fill in your educational experience (the certificate issued by the institution so far, including what you are studying now, who have not taken the exam, or who have taken the exam and have not issued the certificate of exam results). ) and save the page, add test or certificate scores.

Fill in your employment experience (if you have any full-time or part-time paid jobs, you can add 5 experiences here. Including: company name, company address, job description and access time. For those unpaid or voluntary jobs, please explain them in your personal statement. )

Write a personal statement (why did you choose this course and why it is suitable for this course. If you haven't studied this course before, it is very important to fill in this form, tell the school why you are interested in this course, and attach something that can prove that you understand the requirements of learning this course; Describing all your skills and experiences will help you succeed in this course. At the same time, you need to consider the relationship between your current or previous courses and the selected courses, some activities that can show your interest in this course, and the reasons why you want to enter this university or college. )

Check whether the information you fill in needs to be revised. If there is no need to modify it, mark it as all, save and agree to the statement (this means that you agree to let us check your application information and submit it to the university or college you applied for. )

Prepare the recommendation letter, pay the application fee and submit the application materials to the system. (There are two ways to do this, depending on whether you contact the school in person or through UCAS, provided that the school is registered in UCAS; You can find a teacher, class teacher or professor who knows you very well to write a letter of recommendation for you; Before June 30th, one class 12, two classes and 23 classes. After that, you have to pay 23 pounds. )

Track the application progress-wait and see if there is a university to provide it to you (UCAS will forward the application materials to the school, and then the school will give you feedback on the decision. In addition, for some very popular courses, many people will apply and the competition is fierce, so not all the courses you apply for will get an offer；; If you get the offer, it means that you are very clear about all the requirements and conditions of this major in the university, including the certificate you want or the English test score you want to achieve and the corresponding English ability)

Prepare a visa-if you get an admission notice for a course, the school offering the course will help you get the student visa you need from the British Border Agency. Although the student's application for grant is independent of UCAS, you can write down your needs when filling out the application form to speed up the application process.
