The early stages
If your son or daughter is currently in education, they will make their UCAS application through their school or college. They will write a personal statement to support their application, and a teacher will write a reference for them. If they are not in education they can apply as an individual. For more details, visit UCAS web pages for parents and guardians.
Students can apply for up to five choices through UCAS. This could be a similar course at five universities, five courses at one university, or any mixture in-between. The fee for entering an application through UCAS is £13 for a single choice and £24 for multiple courses or for applications submitted after 30 June.
