2020 UCAS Deadlines

There are many different UCAS application deadlines depending on what course and levelyou wish to study. For EU students applying to the majority of courses, the 15th January is when all applications must be submitted. Non-EU students can still submit their application up to the 30th June.

UCAS Extra

If you received no offers from your five UCAS choices or changed your mind about which courses and institutions you wish to apply to, UCAS Extra allows you to add another choice to your application. UCAS Extra opens each February and lasts until July. If you still do not have an offer after the July deadline, you are eligible to enter UCAS Clearing.

UCAS Clearing

UCAS Clearing is for students who are unable to secure an offer from a UK university for three main reasons:

• They applied after the June 30th deadline
• Exam results fell short of conditional offer requirements
• No offers were received, or no offers were accepted
