UNDERGRADUATE
Make sure you know the deadline for applying for your course.
Remember that your school or college may have earlier deadlines for you to follow. Do not wait until the last minute to complete your application as the references take time to complete too.
2.Your personal statement needs to set you apart
Our admissions team sifts through thousands of applications from people with similar qualifications to yours. Therefore, your personal statement needs to stand out from the crowd. It’s an important part of the application process. It tells us why you’d make a good student and why we should offer you a place.
Show us your excitement and passion for the course you want to study. Be positive throughout your statement.
When you’re writing your statement, write in your natural voice and tell us:
most importantly – how your skills and experience link to your course choice
3.UCAS screens all applications for plagiarism
We want to know about you, so it’s important to be yourself and let that show in your application. It’s also important to submit your own work. Do not be tempted to copy someone else's personal statement.
UCAS screens all personal statements using a plagiarism system. If any issues are detected, this could have serious consequences for your application.
4. The UCAS application system times out after 35 minutes
Make sure you keep hitting 'save' throughout the process to avoid losing all your work.
We recommend that you prepare information that takes time, like your personal statement, in a Word document first. You can copy and paste it into the application system when it’s complete. Not only is it easier to edit and spell-check your work, but it means you’re less likely to lose it too.
The application process can take time but you do not have to do it all at once. You do have the option of saving parts and going back to it later.
5.Attention to detail is important
It’s a good idea to put time aside to make sure that all the details in your application are accurate.
Try to tackle this with fresh eyes. The most effective way to proofread is to read over your work three times:
It might seem like a lot of effort, but it will be worth it. Sound spelling and grammar create a good first impression.
