Get help with your university decisions here! TSR Decisions Drop In 2025

what are the steps I need to do for uni from now?

So I have had some offers what do I need to do now? Do I just wait until all offers are back and then start to get things in order?

When do I apply for student finance and start getting ready?

I believe you can already submit your application for student finance, you don't need to have had offers back or to have made decisions on firm/insurance choices.

Once you have had decisions from all the universities you've applied to, you can confirm a firm and an insurance choice.

Apply for finance now. It is better to apply and amend if the university and course change than it is to wait (and risk it not being in place by the autumn.)

Hi there,

Congratulations on your offers!

Here are some recommended steps you can follow:

It's best to wait until you have all your offers. This way, you can make an informed decision about which one to accept.

Once you’ve accepted an offer, you should begin preparing for university. This is when you start applying for student finance, arrange accommodation and attend Open Days/Applicant Days to familiarize yourself with the university.

Open a student bank account, which may offer several benefits and features tailored to university students.

Begin preparing for your course (e.g. do all the reading, research the structure of the course and types of assessments).

Remember to take time to consider all of your options. You don't need to rush your decision.

I hope I managed to help!

Best of luck,

You don't need to wait for all your offers to start applying for student finance. The uni can be changed easily at a later date. Student bank accounts can't be opened until a student has a confirmed place at uni - usually after results day in August.
