The UK University Application Process

An Application Resource For Students, Parents and Counselors

Applying to a bachelor’s or master’s degree in the UK can be a vastly different experience compared to applying to US universities. For students applying from the US, the UK application process can come across as very confusing and complex because it is so different that the US application process. We know from personal experience that it can seem like a daunting task.

By now, you’re probably wondering…what exactly is UCAS? Why should you (or shouldn’t you) use UCAS vs. applying directly to a university? Can I use UCAS if I want to earn a graduate degree? Do I need to take the GRE?

  • The key application requirements for both undergraduate and graduate degrees
