Staying safe at university in the UK

This guide covers everything you need to know about safety and security for international students in the UK, helping you have the best experience possible.

Supporting children from UK Armed Forces families (Service children)

If a student's parent(s) or carer(s) is serving as a Regular or Reservist in the UK Armed Forces, or has done so in the past, their experience of going to university may be different to their non-Service peers. We have worked with the Service Children’s Progression (SCiP) Alliance to explain how you can practically support Service children along their journey to higher education.

Supporting students with mental health conditions

Students can access a variety of support to manage their mental health and wellbeing in higher education - ranging from help with a specific condition through to ways they can look after their general wellbeing. Some students may be hesitant to tell their university, so we've worked with experts (including Student Minds and the University Mental Health Advisers' Network (UMHAN)) to explain the process of declaration to your students, and offer practical ways to help them manage the transition to independence. It's good to remember that other personal circumstances can create additional challenges and stress, so making sure students have the right support for their needs will offer them the best start to university.

Supporting UK Armed Forces veterans and service leavers

Students who have served in the UK Armed Forces as a Regular or Reservist may find there are unique challenges involved in applying to higher education. We have worked with the Ministry of Defence and experts at the University of South Wales to offer practical ways to help them explore their options and prepare for their next step.

Training to support you

Versatile training options—online, face-to-face, or personalised—available at a time and place that suits you. Whether you're familiar with UCAS or brand new to our systems, we know how important it is that every teacher and adviser feels confident guiding students through the higher education application process. We have a range of training options to suit you. 

UCAS generic terms of service

We have published specific terms and conditions that apply to specific services. Those specific terms and conditions will always apply, where relevant. These are the terms and conditions on which we supply “products” to you, whether these are services such as consultancy and insights, reports or digital content, for which we have not published specific terms and conditions elsewhere.

UCAS Undergraduate entry requirements

Each course, and most universities and colleges, have different requirements – usually a mix of qualifications, subjects, or exam grades. Learn more about them here.

UCAS Undergraduate releases

UCAS Undergraduate statistical releases provide core numbers on applications at scheduled points in the current application cycle.

UK Armed Forces veterans and service leavers

If you have ever served as a Regular or Reservist in the UK Armed Forces, or remain a Reservist, you may find there are unique challenges involved in applying to university or college.

Using your personal statement beyond a university application

You’ve done all the hard work creating your personal statement, but have you thought about how you can use what you’ve written for different purposes? Whether you’re thinking about applying for an apprenticeship, or there’s a job you’d love, and you need a covering letter, your personal statement can be a great place to start.
