How to apply for an undergraduate course

Make a late (or UCAS Extra) application

For undergraduate courses starting in September 2023 (including extended and foundation degrees), if you didn’t apply by the 25 January UCAS equal consideration deadline (or have changed your mind about the course/university you want to apply to) then don’t worry! There’s still time to apply and start this year, and you can beat the rush of Clearing. Here’s what to do if:

Clearing

Clearing opens on 5 July so we’re here to give you a head start. Find out more about how Clearing works and making your application with our handy Clearing guide.

Don’t forget to use a personal email address rather than a school or college one when applying, as this may become inactive at a certain point and you’ll miss out on vital information from us.
