University Applications
The Sixth Form and Careers team work throughout the school to enable students to make the right career choices. We provide information and advice at key decision points and create events and experiences that allow students to explore a range of opportunities and possibilities that exist beyond their time at school. A one week Work Experience placement in Year 12 being one of these experiences.
The application
UCAS Apply is the electronic university application system and all students wishing to attend university must apply via UCAS. We encourage all students to register with UCAS, even those who think they do not want to apply to university - they often change their mind - and if we have all the information already saved we can support a late application. Find Apply 2019 on www.ucas.com
The UCAS application has 5 main sections
- Personal details
- Educational qualifications
- GCSE results including exam boards
- AS/A2 results
- Course/university choices - 5 choices
- Personal statement
- Reference - including A Level predicted grades
Please note: The majority of universities make offers purely on this information, some may ask for work to be sent, or invite students for interview.
