Choose your university and course

Before you choose

Talk to a careers/guidance adviser.
Visit www.ucas.com to get more information and compare the courses and universities that interest you. When you apply, you can select up to five choices.
Do a keyword search on UCAS – if there’s a specific course title or course combination you want to do, type it directly into the UCAS course finder engine.
Do your research carefully – check out university websites, as well as UCAS, so you get a real feel for the place.

Check the entry requirements – will you need specific subjects (including GCSEs) or work experience? Are you on track to achieve the grades you need?

Get advice from friends, family and school staff – but don’t forget the ultimate choice is yours.
