News flash! The benefits of working in your university city over the summer
Is it too late to apply to uni?
Are you sat at home wondering is it too late to apply to uni? Don’t worry, you still have time to submit your application.
What date do I have to apply on UCAS by?
UCAS have particular deadlines depending on what course you are applying for.
Courses with 15 October 2024 deadlines.
Late applications for courses with the 15 October 2024 deadline are unlikely to be considered as these courses are particularly competitive. These Universities are usually Oxford and Cambridge and are to study medicine, dentistry or veterinary courses.
Courses with 29 January 2025 deadlines.
If you miss the 29 January 2025 deadline for most other courses, you may still be able to apply after the deadline has passed. Universities and colleges often consider applications received after the 29 January deadline if there are spaces available, but you do risk missing out on your top university/course choice if it’s popular.
Important: Any applications that are not submitted by the 30th June 2025 at 6pm will be entered in to UCAS Clearing.
When is UCAS Clearing 2025?
This year, UCAS Clearing starts on the 5th July and closes on the 20th October at 6pm.
Here are some other key dates to be aware of and save on your phone so you don’t miss out…
- 4th July – Last date to add a UCAS Extra Choice
- 14th August – A Level Results Published
Search for the right course.
Use UCAS Search to find courses that still have places available. You can also do research on university life on The Student Room to get the feel of the location.
It is important to remember that course availability will be changing as time goes by. It would be beneficial to contact the universities admissions departments before applying to find out their availability. Be sure to explain your circumstance during your call to ensure they can help you to the best of their abilities.
Will the universities see that I applied late to UCAS?
Universities must consider every application they receive, however, after the 29th January, they are no longer required to treat every application the same but more as a ‘first come first serve basis’. So it is important to get your application submitted as soon as you can.
