Applying through UCAS
If you are holding a deferred place elsewhere you will need to be released from that institution on UCAS before you can reapply to study with us.
Please get in touch with us as soon as possible so that we can offer you personalised advice on how to go about applying to us.
Please contact admissions@ucfb.com if you are unsure whether you can study in the UK. You will still need to submit a UCAS application.
Yes, although you will have to complete a new application form as a previous application cannot be used. You are advised that you must discuss your application with UCFB before taking any action. Please contact admissions for more information.
We advise applicants to submit their application to UCAS prior to the ‘Equal consideration’ deadline 29th January. However we also accept applications during UCAS Extra and Clearing.
If an applicant is unable to send their application in time we advise them to contact our admissions team to check availability.
UCFB will allow applicants to defer their entry for one year, as they recognise the value of taking a gap year. However, it’s a good idea to check before applying. When applicants are completing the UCAS application form, they should talk about why they are intending to take a gap year, what they will do and what they hope to gain from it. This will lend support to their application by providing valid reasons for deferring entry.

No. you can log in and out of the UCAS Apply section, amending details each time they do so. There is no time limit for completing the application once started, but the applicant must remain aware of the deadlines. Please note: As soon as you have sent off your application to UCAS, you can no longer amend it.
Yes. You can apply for multiple courses at each higher education institution.
Applicants should make sure the referee is someone who is in an official capacity and knows them quite well, so that they can write about their suitability for an undergraduate degree. This person may be a tutor, employer, supervisor, or someone else who meets the guidelines mentioned above. Applicants should not get a family member, friend, or partner to write the reference. If they do, the whole application will be cancelled by UCAS.
UK, EU and overseas students have to apply via UCAS.
The UCAS Apply system has a detailed explanation on how to fill out the qualifications section of the form, as well as other advice elsewhere on the site. You should enter your qualifications as they appear on the exam certificates – you should not put in the UK equivalent. Also, you don’t need to send original exam certificates or any other papers to UCAS.
UCAS is the online application process to apply to all UK higher education institutions. Go to www.ucas.com to access the apply system; click register/log in to apply to start your application.
UCAS will process the application and if they need to query anything, they will get in touch with you for more information. The application will then be sent to the relevant higher education institutions for them to consider and you should receive a welcome letter from UCAS.
No. You can only send off one application to UCAS per cycle. However, if you have used less than the maximum of five higher education institution choices, you can add more choices via UCAS Hub, depending on the status of your application.
UCAS Extra begins at the end of February and runs until early July. If an applicant has applied for five courses on their UCAS application and didn’t manage to secure any offers, or turned down all of the ones received, they have a second chance to apply for a place.
