FAQs

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.
Consider the course content and not just its title – English at one university is not the same as English at another university.
Check the entry requirements – will you need specific subjects (including GCSEs) or work experience? Are you on track to achieve the grades you need?
Attend university open days – see our handy checklist for suggestions on things you could ask about. If you’re considering Anglia Ruskin, we’d love to see you at one of our undergraduate Open Days.
Get advice from friends, family and school staff – but don’t forget the ultimate choice is yours.
