The UCAS system allows you to:
- Access up-to-date information about courses, institutions and criteria for selection through the Entry Profiles available on the UCAS website
- Apply online for up to five different courses or institutions in the UK in one application
- Check the progress of your application through the decision-making process via UCAS Track
Entrance requirements
Entry to many areas of the University is very competitive, so high standards of performance are generally required and specific requirements vary from programme to programme.
