	How to apply

You must apply for undergraduate programs through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). UCAS is a centralized application system. It simplifies the admissions process by allowing you to complete only one application for up to five programs (up to four for medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine applications).

For 2008 entry, students must complete UCAS Apply, the online application. There is no longer a paper alternative. To access and fill out an application, you must register on the UCAS website. We can provide tips on how a US-educated student like you should fill out the application.
