The UCAS equal consideration deadline for \u2018on time\u2019 university applications was 6.00pm on 29 January 2025. Don\u2019t worry if you missed the deadline, you\u2019ve still got time to apply to start university this September.<\/p>\n
Make a late application<\/strong><\/p>\n The new deadline you\u2019re now looking at is 30 June 2025. Applying after the deadline means some popular courses won\u2019t have spaces left once offers start to be made, but most courses will still accept late applications. Those remaining places won\u2019t hang around forever, so spend time putting a really good application together as soon as you decide.<\/p>\n Timing your application<\/strong><\/p>\n The only time when late applicants are best advised to hold back their application is in the days after the January deadline. If you hold out until mid-to-late February, universities will notify UCAS whether they will be in UCAS Extra and or which courses.<\/p>\n This year, UCAS Extra opens on 26 February 2025. If you\u2019ve used all five choices, and you\u2019re not holding any offers, you can add another choice using Extra.<\/p>\n Extra is another chance for you to gain a place at university. If you\u2019re eligible, during this period you\u2019ll be able to apply to additional universities, one at a time.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t get the offer you want in Extra, don\u2019t worry \u2013 you can still use Clearing to add another choice.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n What if you miss the 30 June deadline?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you miss the 30 June deadline, you can still apply, but after this date, your application will automatically go into Clearing. Don\u2019t panic, this is a great way to find a course that you may never have considered before. 60,000 students find their uni place through Clearing every year, so\u00a0that\u2019s not a bad place to be.<\/p>\n Checking what\u2019s on offer<\/strong><\/p>\n The course search facility on the UCAS website is a good first port of call to check on places that are still available.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget course availability is changing all the time. You\u2019ll need to check with the universities that interest you before making an application.<\/p>\n Your personal statement<\/strong><\/p>\n All other aspects of the application process remain the same. You will need a good personal statement and a reference. There are plenty of handy guides online that will help you ace this. Check tees.ac.uk\/events<\/a><\/strong> as we often run workshops to help you, or watch our Personal Statement Top Tips<\/strong><\/a> video.<\/p>\n Let your teachers know as soon as possible that you intend to apply so that a reference can be arranged.<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The UCAS equal consideration deadline for \u2018on time\u2019 university applications was 6.00pm on 29 January 2025.
