UCAS

With UCAS Discovery events taking place across the UK this week, here's a look back at some of our recent events. 🎓

If you're attending a UCAS Discovery event with your school or college, here's what you can expect:

✨ Meet representatives from universities, colleges and employers
🎤 Attend expert talks and advice sessions
💬 Speak to UCAS experts and get your questions answered
🤝 Explore different pathways and opportunities after school or college

Whether you're considering university, an apprenticeship, or other next steps, UCAS Discovery events are designed to help you explore your options and make informed decisions about your future.

📍 Find out more about UCAS Discovery via the link in our bio, and ask your school or college if they're attending an event near you.

Used all five of your UCAS choices and not holding an offer? 🎓

You may be able to use UCAS Extra to add another choice to your application and explore more opportunities.

Before adding a course, make sure you contact the university or college to check they'll consider your application.

❗ Once you've added an Extra choice, you won't be able to return to your original five choices.

If you didn't use all five choices in your original application, you don't need to use Extra – you can simply add another choice to your application before 30 June, provided you haven't accepted or declined any offers.

And if you're not holding any offers after 2 July, you'll be able to explore your options through Clearing.
