If you’re not sure which course or which school, college or university you’d like to study at, there’s a useful search facility on the Education UK website to help you decide.

Applying for Undergraduate Studies

You can apply online through the Universities and Colleges Admissions System (UCAS). Find out more on the Education UK website: UCAS applications for UK study .

Applying for Postgraduate or MBA Studies

Most UK institutions offer an online postgraduate application system that can be accessed through the institution’s own website. The earlier you apply the better as courses quickly fill up. Some institutions use the UK Postgraduate Application and Statistical Service (UKPASS) scheme. You can see which institutions are part of the scheme and find out more at the UKPASS website.

Applying to an Independent School in Scotland

You can apply directly to the school or through the Independent Schools Council International office (ISC International). ISC International offers placement, consultancy and advisory services to families seeking to place children in a Scottish independent boarding school. You can find out more about applying to UK independent schools at the ISC website.

Applying for Career-based & Pre-university Courses

For Higher National Diplomas (HNDs), you can apply online. If you want to apply for any other career-based or pre-university programme, apply directly to the UK institution that offers the course. You can search for career-based and pre-university courses in the course finder.
