Fill in your application on the UCAS website
• There are different application forms and deadlines depending on the type of course.

• Applications can be quite competitive, especially for the most popular courses – so you might not get an offer for every course you apply to.

Qualifications
• Make sure you put in all the qualifications you have or are currently doing.
• Add your grades and results as well. • Give us as much information as possible –
without it the course providers will struggle to make a decision.
• While some course providers ask you to send everything straight away, some will do their initial assessment of your application before asking to see proof of your results.

International personal statements
• In the UCAS application you have to write a personal statement.
• Write about why you want to study the subject.
• If you are applying to more than one course provider, do not mention them by name because they all receive the same personal statement.

International personal statements
• Try also to mention why you want to study in the United Kingdom.
• Describe your English language skills (and mention any English courses or tests you have taken).
• Explain why you want to be an international student rather than study in your own country.

References and Predicted grades
• References are required from 1 main teacher (for subject chosen) and if needed, 1 extra for the language itself.
• Predicted grades are required to get an initial average for the application.
• Once application is received, some universities request individual predicted grades as extra information to support your application.

Login details
• Once you are able to register for the new applications for 2015, you will need to connect to the school and co-ordinator by putting in the new buzzword which will be PARMA2015.
• This enables the co-ordinator to check your application before sending it to UCAS.

• When the fee is paid, the co-ordinator has to send the application on behalf of the student.
