Choosing a university or college

With over 160 universities to choose from in the UK, and limitless courses and study options on offer, you can make your UK university experience as unique as you are.

Understanding rankings

Higher education institutions are ranked each year by a variety of organizations. The QS World University Rankings, for example, focuses heavily on research and reputation, but doesn’t include the quality of teaching or students’ views. THE World University Rankings and the Complete University Guide focus more on research strength and student satisfaction. The People and Planet University League even ranks UK universities on their environmental and ethical performance.

How to applyundergraduate (本科)

1. Register with UCAS

First, go to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) website where you can fill in your application form.

Then write your personal statement. This is your chance to stand out from the crowd by explaining why you are interested in the course, the skills you have that make you suitable, and your life experiences and achievements.

2. Application deadlines

There are four application deadlines throughout the school year:

October—for courses at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, or for most courses in medicine

15 January— “on time” deadline for most undergraduate courses

March—for some art and design courses

30 June—late deadline for most undergraduate courses. While you will be able to apply after the January deadline right up until 30 June, it is better to apply early.

3. Receive an offer

UCAS will contact you with any offers from your chosen universities or colleges. If your offer is “unconditional”, you can relax. Some offers are conditional—usually this means you need to achieve certain results in your current studies or in English language tests.
