Applying Online
You can apply online for undergraduate courses, teaching, nursing and midwifery!
Applying online at www.ucas.com
For all full-time Higher Education courses at universities and colleges in the UK, students must apply online at www.ucas.com.
Parental experience of Higher Education
For entry in 2008, UCAS are including information regarding the parental experience of higher education of candidates on the UCAS form at the point of application. However applicants to the University of Worcester should note that it is not the University's policy to take this information into account (should this be disclosed) when making admissions decisions.
There are three types of applicant:
1. Students at a school or college registered with UCAS
All UK schools and colleges (and a small number of establishments overseas) are registered with UCAS to manage their students’ applications.
Advice is available from your teacher or a careers adviser at your school or college. You fill in an online application and submit it to a member of staff. After checking your details and having added the academic reference, your school or college submits the completed application online to UCAS. You pay online using a credit card or debit card. You may also be able to pay through your school or college.
2. Independent applicants in the UK
Other UK applicants, who are not at school or college, apply online independently.
It is likely that you are a mature applicant, who, unlike school and college students, cannot readily seek advice from your teacher, but can instead consult with various careers organisations (such as Connexions). You are responsible for paying the correct application fee, for obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS.
3. International applicants outside the UK (EU and worldwide)
Except for those whose school or college is registered with UCAS, individuals from the EU (excluding the UK), and worldwide, apply online independently.
Advice is available from British Council offices and other centres overseas, such as your school or college. You are responsible for paying the correct application fee, for obtaining and attaching the academic reference and for submitting the completed application online to UCAS.
For all applicants, there are full instructions at www.ucas.com to make it as easy as possible for you to fill in your online application, plus help text where appropriate. UCAS also has a comprehensive guide called Applying Online, which can be downloaded from www.ucas.com.
Applying online at www.gttr.ac.uk for Teacher Training
If you are a graduate and want to apply for an initial teacher training qualification through the Graduate Teacher Training Registry (GTTR), it is now done online at www.gttr.ac.uk. All the help you need is on the site, but if you are still on your degree course at university or college, advice will be available from your tutor or a careers adviser. If you have left, advice is available from various careers organisations (such as Connexions). As part of the process, you pay for the application online using a credit card or debit card. You should also be aware that you will need to provide details of your referee (who must be able to supply a reference electronically). Also, you will be responsible for sending the completed application online to GTTR. Advice and information about the process is available at www.gttr.ac.uk.
