How do I apply for a higher education course?
Higher Futures' guide to applying for a higher education course (127KB PDF) >
All applications for full-time higher education courses are handled by UCAS (University and Colleges Admissions Service) a national organisation working with all higher education providers. This ensures fairness and standardisation within the admissions process. Applications for part-time courses are handled directly by the providers themselves.
There is a clear process to follow, with deadlines for each stage set by UCAS. All the information you need is outlined on the following pages. If you need more help and advice, please contact your tutor or your Higher Futures adviser. What you have to do for yourself is:
- be aware of the applications process and the deadlines
- research courses and providers carefully
- shortlist the courses you are interested in
- attend visits, open days and planning events
- complete your application in good time
