Fill out UCAS forms for the universities you want to apply for. They'll have them at schools and colleges for you and are probably available online these days. Good luck, its a bastard of a form to fill out iirc.

Fifteen years have passed since I had to fill mine out and I got them from the college where I was a mature student then, so yep I have a bit of mileage behind me; however its still about filling out the same forms, whether they be in hard copy or online.

I applied from Sixth Form so did everything through my school. I don't know if different rules apply to overseas applicants but here here we apply through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Applications Service).

You need to do four things:

* Register with UCAS
http://www.ucas.ac.uk/

*Decide which course you want to take (note the UCAS code. You'll need it for the form)
https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/courses/search

* Decide which University you want to study at (Make sure it has the course you want to take)
https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/universities/choosing-the-right-university/

* Fill out the form and send it between 1 September and 30 June for the following year.

UK University courses start in September and some courses are more popular than others so get in quickly to ensure you can get a place.


There. Now, I've just done that little bit of research for you, which you could have done online. It took me five minutes and I didn't mind doing it, but if you're going to come to a British university you're going to have to get good at finding things for yourself. And quickly. Once the pace of your course picks up you're going to be busy.

My final paragraph above is intended as friendly advice. Please don't take offence. You'd be wise to heed it.


Good luck. I wish you well. You'll enjoy university life here.

And I was 25 at the time lol! :D

Good advice on getting up to speed at uni quickly though. At school and college it's all handed on a plate for you, at uni they couldn't care less whether you put the graft in or not, it's all upto you, and a lot of the time you might not even know what the fuck the lecturer is on about even after a few years there! :lol:

I refer you to my previous comment, my friend. Not out of nastiness,but honestly..... you really have to get up to speed and get in the habit of doing your own digging. Salty is quite right in her comment at post #10. We've both been there. Anybody who tells you that University is three years on easy street isn't doing you any favours.

That's the very best advice we can give you here. My tip: use the links I gave you and work your way through.

You'll thank me for this later. Good luck.
