Apply for
Undergraduate Courses

Application for full-time degree, Honours degree, DipHE and CertHE courses should be submitted through the Universities and College Admissions Service (UCAS).

Ucas code

For full-time UCAS application you should apply using the University of West of Scotland title and U40 institution code, plus the appropriate campus indicator.

Application Process

Generally, the closing date for applications to UCAS is 15th January of the year you wish to start University. If you have submitted your application by this date you should hear from any institution you applied to by the end of April.

The institution(s) will either accept (conditionally or unconditionally) or decline your application.

If you haven't applied by the 15th January deadline, you can still send in your application until 30th June, however this will be dependent on suitable vacancies remaining and may limit your course choices.

UCAS Extra

If you have applied to UCAS by the January deadline and find yourself without an offer, whether you have withdrawn from offers or been declined, then UCAS Extra allows you find a place without having to wait until Clearing.

UCAS Extra operates from mid-March to the end of June. UCAS will inform you if you are eligible to enter into Extra. You then apply to one institution at a time via Extra. If you are unsuccessful, decline an offer, or do not receive an offer within 10 days of choosing a course through Extra, you can make a further application. If you do not secure a place during Extra, for whatever reason, you will then automatically become eligible for Clearing.
