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 have a number of tools on this website which you can use to help you research and apply for courses in the UK.
Course Search
Search for subjects in our database of over 50,000 courses.
Apply
Apply online and we'll guide you through the process step-by-step - there's help text for every question to help you complete the application.
Track
Check the progress of your application and reply to your offers.
We cannot tell you which course, university or college to choose, but we can tell you where you can get more help and information when you apply online.
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.
