How you apply to study in the UK depends on your university and study level. If you are applying for a bachelor’s degree program, you may apply through UCAS, a central application platform. At postgraduate level, you will typically apply directly to the university, although some universities also accept UCAS applications for postgrad candidates. The minimum eligibility criteria, deadlines, and application requirements depend on the university (and the program).
The University and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS) is a central program through which you can apply to up to 5 UK university programs with one application. All licensed student sponsors (UK universities legally authorized to sponsor international students to study in the UK) accept undergraduate applications through UCAS. Some universities also accept applications directly.
For postgraduate applications, you will generally apply directly to your chosen university. Some postgraduate programs also accept applications through UCAS.
