Applying through UCAS

All applications should come through UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.

If you are at school or college in the UK, your school will give you an application package. If you have left school, you can obtain this from your local careers service, or by contacting UCAS (see below). If you live outside the UK, you can obtain the application package from UCAS, or from your local British Council office.

When completing the application form, you will need to enter our institution code name SHEFD, our institution code S18, and the course code for your chosen degree in section 3.

Your application must be received by UCAS between 1 September and 15 January during the year before entry. (If you are also applying for courses at Oxford University or Cambridge University or for courses in medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine then there is an earlier closing date of 15 October.) We are usually able to consider late applications received by UCAS after the deadline, but we suggest that if at all possible you apply before 15 January.

If you are planning to take a gap year before starting your university course, you are very welcome to apply for deferred entry. We will treat your application on the same basis as if you were applying for entry in the year of application. However, please note that you must meet all the conditions of our offer by 31 August in the year of application.
