Information about UCAS

We are the organisation responsible for managing applications to higher education courses in the UK. Not only do we process more than two million applications for full-time undergraduate courses every year, but we help you to find the right course. We try to make things run as smoothly as possible by providing innovative online tools which make it easier for you and the universities and colleges to manage applications and offers.

For example, you can find courses to suit your interests using the Stamford Test, research courses using Course Search, make your application using Apply and follow the progress of your application using Track.

We also organise conferences, education fairs and conventions across the UK, attend international events and produce a wide range of publications. These are all aimed at helping you to make informed decisions about higher education and to guide you, your parents and advisers through the application process.
