Five top tips
- Applicants with October deadline courses do not need to apply with all five choices, but need to ensure all others are added by their respective deadlines. Once submitted, references, personal statements, and predicted grades cannot be changed.
- Students should use a personal email address to keep up-to-date.
- Ensure names match those registered with the awarding organisation.
- Find out what changes can be made to an application after it’s been sent.
- Students can supercharge their personal statement or CV by accessing subject tasters and virtual work experience in the UCAS Hub.
