• You can talk to academic staff and current students, check out the campus and accommodations and get all your questions answered. We know this will help you make the right decision.

Make your application

A little advice for applicants is to apply as early as possible. Start early, do a draft version and ask other people to read it through for you. The more time you take to write and check it, the better it will be. You can sign up for a UCAS account anytime, and work on your application before September if you want to. Now Follow the below process to apply:

Register for a UCAS account:

• You apply through UCAS – the Universities & Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). To do this, register for a UCAS Hub account and view the step-by-step instructions on how to fill in your UCAS application.
• If you’re at school or college, they’ll usually arrange sessions to support you through the process. They will also give you a buzzword for UCAS to ID you as one of their applicants. This is so they can help you if you need it. If you’re not at school or college, you apply as an individual.
• There is an ‘Apply’ link at the top of every course page that takes you to the relevant pages in UCAS.

Choose A Firm and Insurance:

• Your firm choice is your preferred university and course, while your insurance choice is there as a backup in case you don’t get the grades you need for your firm.
• Once you have your five responses, you’ll need to pick your top two university options: your firm choice and your insurance choice. You should only do this once all your university choices have replied.
• You can make up to five choices.

 Find Referees:

• Choose an adult who understands your skills and achievements. If you are in education, this is normally a teacher who knows you well. UCAS has some great advice about choosing the right referee.
• If you are not currently in education, Abertay needs someone who can give a professional, balanced opinion. This can be someone like a former employer, a guidance counsellor or a sports coach. It should be someone who understands your motivation, skills and achievements.
• UCAS will contact them directly for a written reference so give them time to respond by applying before Christmas.

Write Your statement:

This is your chance to shine. Make sure you do:

• Write clearly and precisely.
• Are enthusiastic and positive.
• Give your reasons for choosing the course.
• Write about your academic skills and give examples.
• Tell us about jobs, hobbies and volunteer experiences.
• Include your future career plans.
• Most of all, explain why you have chosen this course.

All these things show us why you are well suited to the course you’ve applied for. And yes, we do read EVERY SINGLE one. UCAS also have some good advice about how to write your statement.
