The Ultimate UCAS Extra Thread 2023

@Admit-One @PQ @DataVenia

Apologies for the mass tag, but I've been seeing a lot of 'what's UCAS Extra' posts on here recently, so I made this post so that everyone interested can get info quick (and without us having to type it out over and over :lol:

). Feel free to link this post to anyone who has doubts about Extra and what it entails! :biggrin:

I’m new to all this so I just wondered if people can generally look at the courses on offer for UCAS Extra, as well as the universities that are using it, or if you have to have no offers in order to view it?

I’m theory, courses that are still showing as having vacancies on UCAS should be open to Extra applicants too. However, unis don’t always update this information quickly, so in all cases it is better to call the uni up and confirm whether they are open to Extra applicants before you submit to them via UCAS.

I’m planning on applying to pharmacy at Wolverhampton through extra after being rejected from my universities but I have to send them a separate personal statement which they told me I could send through to their admissions team. Just wondering if anyone else has applied through extra for pharmacy, how was the process like? Was it stressful and were there many vacancies for pharmacy? Thanks x

So, out of curiosity, I used the UCAS search filter for "Course vacancies in England" for Psychology and I see my search results. Am surprised to see that Cardiff has vacancies when it is top 10 in the UK for Psychology. Psychology and Psychology with Professional Placement. I know it cannot be certain that this isn't a mistake and that they really have vacancies. Anyone who's looking for Psych and is looking for additional choices, call Cardiff! (Both courses are BPS-accredited) GOOD LUCK!

Day One of UCAS Extra. I used the search function on UCAS using key filters UCL + Courses with vacancies and these are the search results. Anyone who is keen on these courses, do contact UCL Admissions to (1) confirm the course is indeed offered for Extra (2) ask UCL if they will consider your application before you reject any of the offers that you are holding. To reject offers without getting confirmation is very risky!

HUGS! I hope you get your offer from Wolverhampton! So the admissions dept told you to send your PS to them, and did they tell you what to expect after adding them on UCAS Extra?

Sending best of luck! If there is an interview, there is a very useful pharmacy thread on TSI. All the best.

I'm thinking of applying to Bioprocessing for New Medicines at UCL - Do they require an interview for this process because UCL says they do interview for Management Science courses but is the bioprocessing same category as management science? I'm really scareddd I'm not getting into uniii. I wanna cryyyy
