If you’re not applying to oxbridge or medicine then this summer is the time to be getting your research into universities and courses sorted and putting together your personal statement.

Your school/college should be able to explain what your deadlines are to get your application submitted to them so that they’ve got time to write and add your reference before the January 2022 deadline.

Have a look at some university websites and book onto some open days (online or in person) and start drafting your PS.

Hi Msbrownie.xo

IF you are wanting to attend University straight out of your A-Levels without a gap year then this is the year to be applying yes. I've attached the UCAS's key dates from this past year to give you a better idea (https://www.ucas.com/ucas/events/find/scheme/undergraduate/type/key-date), but most Unis will want applications in at the start of the year (late January), to then reply with offers around May time and allow you to make accommodation plans etc. Your sixth form/college will be able to help guide you through this but the sooner you can start looking can make your decisions/process a lot easier and smoother.
Hope this helps!

If you are not applying for Oxford or Cambridge, or for Medicine, Dentistry, Vet Science - you have until Jan 2022 to apply.

Take your time. Go to in-person Open Days, listen to subject/course presentations, think about the reality of being at each University - and make 5 careful choices.
