UCAS was somewhat of a mystery to me for a while. How the system opperated, what you did on it, everything really. I just didn't get it. But that was before I went on the site. Basically, UCAS is the Brittish system for applying to Uni. You fill in your choices, grades, work experiance and various other information (where you live, your nationality (ie/ Brittish Citizen or not), your phone number, email, ect.). You also have to do a personal statement, which is an absolute pain. Not that it's UCAS's fault or anything, I just always found writing about myself quite hard and annoying. Then, you send away your UCAS form, which my teacher had to ...  Read the complete review

UCAS is the UKs method of applying to university. Basically, you give your personal and education details, and write 4000 characters about yourself. You then pick 5 courses you would like to study, and this is sent off to the universities. If they want you, you get an offer back from them, this can be "conditional" providing you get good A2 grades or "unconditional" if you already meet requirements. You then pick 2 of your offers, 1 as your favourite and 1 as a backup, usually of lower requirements. After your A2 exams, you go to which ever of your 2 choices you made the requirements for. If you failed to meet either, you go into clearing, ...  Read the complete review

I have pretty much finished using the UCAS website for my university application procedure, so I feel I can give an accurate view of how useful it was to me. If you are applying to university in the UK, whether you are living in the UK, Europe or Internationally, you must use the UCAS site to apply. As part of the application procedure, you will need to sign up - maybe through your school as you have a referee too. I had to use a password to sign up through the school network so my referee could check my application and post the reference. You aren't meant to see their reference or the grades they predict you for your A levels, but you are most likely to find ...  Read the complete review
