Applying if you're an
international student
Wherever you're coming from, UCA is ready to welcome you. We have a dedicated admissions team to help you with your application journey – but to get you started, here's the information you need to make your application.
Deadlines for January 2025 entry
- Application deadline: Wednesday 18th December 2024
- Deposit deadline: Friday 10th January 2025
- CAS deadline: Friday 17th January 2025
Deadlines for September 2025 entry
- Application deadline: Friday 22nd August 2025
- Deposit deadline: Friday 5th September 2025
- CAS request deadline: Friday 5th September 2025
We would always advise you to apply and provide all the necessary information as soon as you can, as all these deadlines are subject to change if a course reaches capacity before the deadline.
Applying directly to UCA
The benefits of applying directly to us are:
- There is no application fee (up to £24 via UCAS).
- You are not impacted by the ‘equal consideration’ early deadline that UCAS set. We do however encourage you to apply as soon as possible so you have enough time to organise your student visa, if you need one, and to apply for a place in University accommodation.
- There are no ‘declined by default’ deadlines.
- You can track your application through our online ‘Applicant Portal’.
If you are applying to more than one university in the UK, then you should apply to us through UCAS.
Visit our visas and immigration page for more information about applying to study in the UK and our equivalent qualifications page to discover if we accept your non-UK qualification.
