For international students looking to apply to UK universities for the academic year starting in September 2025, the application process typically begins in the autumn of 2024. Most universities use the UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) system for undergraduate applications.
Here are some key deadlines to keep in mind:
-
UCAS Application Opening: The UCAS application portal usually opens in early September of the year before the start of the academic year (so, September 2024 for September 2025 entry).
-
UCAS Deadlines: The main application deadlines for international students are often in January (typically around mid-January for most courses). Some courses, particularly in medicine, veterinary medicine, and some art and design courses, may have earlier deadlines.
-
Postgraduate Applications: For master's programs, application deadlines can vary significantly by university and program, so it's essential to check the specific requirements for each course of interest.
It's important to keep an eye on the specific universities' websites and UCAS for the most up-to-date information and exact deadlines as they can vary.
