16 Applying for Student Finance

17 The Application Process

18 Things to consider when choosing a university Home vs Away City vs Campus University Course content Lifestyle and Accommodation Extracurriculars University reputation

19 University Applications Where to begin? UCAS The University and Colleges Admissions Service UCAS lists all available courses, their entry requirements and some basic details You can then look on the University s own site for further details UCAS is also the service that processes applications, they act as a bridge between you and the university

20 University Applications What goes on my application? Personal Information Five choices (other unis can t see this) Grades and predicted grades A personal statement A teacher reference

21 Choosing your course If you know what you want to study Compare the course at various universities Check the module information Check that the course is what you think it is Check the course will qualify you for any careers that you might consider once you graduate Check whether you re likely to need to do some further study at the end If you have no idea what you want to study Don t worry or feel pressured to invent a plan because everyone else has one Think about what you love to do and what it is about that activity / course that you love Go on to the UCAS site, use the career finder and search some general terms to get you started Do lots of research on what interests you, possible careers and any related courses Speak to your teachers, other professionals and the people that know you best

22 Do your research! Entry requirements for all unis and colleges offering the course Which sixth form subjects you need to be eligible for the degree Number of applicants per place Whether they usually interview Basic course information Reasons for rejection What experience you may need Explores different job sectors and the degree courses that would qualify you best for these careers Offers advice on how to be as employable as possible within your chosen career

23 Things to avoid Choosing a course because your mates have chosen it (or the same university) Choosing a course because your family want you to Choosing a uni purely because of the social life, location or facilities Choosing a course without researching whether you could live at the uni Only looking at league tables or reputation Leaving it until the last minute

24 Personal Statements

25 Personal Statements This is your opportunity to sell yourself and explain why the course is right for you Admissions tutors want to know WHY you have chosen the course, what relevant SKILLS you have to offer and what EVIDENCE you have to demonstrate this Your statement should be structured, well-written and clear about what you have to offer You won t be able to write your statement until you have chosen your five courses to apply to

26 What next? Do your research on courses Attend open days it can feel very different in reality Work to get the very best grades that you can Think about why you want to study your chosen course Think about your relevant skills and what evidence you have to demonstrate them Consider gaining relevant work experience
