Once you and your child have attended
university open days and discussed degree options with friends, family and
those in the know - including school teachers, course tutors and college
careers advisers - you're child is ready to begin the university application
process which is called UCAS.
UCAS which stands for the Universities
College Admissions Service is the central organisation responsible for
processing applications for full-time undergraduate study at UK universities.
Your child can either register and
complete their application using the UCAS online system, or do it through their
school or college and they'll send it to UCAS on your child’s behalf.
When applying to universities, your
child can select up to five courses at different universities. Do take care to note the deadline for applications
to be received and do make note that there is small application fee which needs
to be paid when submitting your application. Your child is able to follow the progress
of the application online, to see if they have received any offers for a place
on a course or even if they have been invited for interview. A word of warning! It can take months before
your child may start receiving offers. Once all your child’s UCAS offers are
in, your child will need to make a decision and respond by the deadline.
This is just a short overview of the
process of getting into University of course the hard work, determination and
commitment your child gives to their studies in order to gain the grades needed
for their course is something that they will need to be giving to their studies
from the outset. The whole process can
seem very overwhelming but it is a truly exciting time as it is the beginning
of your child’s future.
