Missed the UCAS deadline?

What is 'equal consideration'?

To avoid any unfairness, all applications received from September 2022 – when the application process opened – to the January deadline, are considered on an equal basis. They are also given the same amount of priority.

After this deadline has passed, universities don’t have to consider applications equally and only the best applications are chosen to fill the remaining spaces.

Our top tip here is to try to resist rushing your application – take your time and ensure you sell yourself to the best of your ability. Once you’re done, send off your application form through your UCAS Hub. You can sign up or log in here.

Apply direct to us

If you want to study at University College Birmingham and nowhere else, you don’t even need to apply through UCAS. You can apply directly to us today!

If we are your only potential choice, you simply need to fill in our apply direct form and press go. It’s free to apply and you don’t have to complete lengthy, and sometimes complex, application forms. 

To apply direct to University College Birmingham, you must satisfy the following criteria:

• You only wish to apply to University College Birmingham (if you would like to apply to more than one institution, you must apply via UCAS)
• You must not have previously applied via UCAS this year (we will complete this on your behalf) 

Be prepared for our call

Once you’ve applied to us, we’ll need to find out about you. Get ready to:

• explain your current situation, your grades or predicted grades, and a little bit about yourself
• Make some notes before the call, so you don’t forget any key points

We’ll hopefully be able to make you an offer on the spot!

If you are unsure which degree you would like to study with us, you can check out our A-Z of courses here.

And remember, university is not just about the course you want to study. First-class support with everything from academic writing, extra funding and help with the cost of living right through to mental health is top of the list when it comes to what today’s students want from their university.

Our university support came top in the UK at the 2022 Whatuni Student Choice Awards, so you’ll know we’ll be right behind you, every step of the way. Find out more about our award-winning support. 

What happens if I miss the 30 June deadline?

If you miss the 30 June deadline, again, you don’t need to worry. You can still apply to university, but your application will go straight into the Clearing pool.
