UK University Application Deadlines

The key dates for 2020 UK university entry

Before beginning your application it is important to familiarise yourself with key UCAS deadlines. Some universities (Cambridge and Oxford) and courses (medicineveterinary medicine and dentistry) have much earlier deadlines and it is important you are fully aware of those which impact on your application.

Studying in the UK

 My consultant was very helpful and motivating. She helped me every step of the way, even when the deadline was so close. I feel I could not have done it without her. I'd highly recommend this service to any and all of my many friends interested.
