UCAS application

Hi everyone and apologies for asking this, I'm very new to the whole uni application thing.
I'm going to be doing my IGCSEs this May June 2025, everyone's telling me to start applying for UCAS but I'm still confused after watching almost 100 YouTube videos. Can someone please give me a quick crash course on everything I need to know? thank you!
I have a question so I can give you the best answer

Are you in based in UK? I know some UK secondary schools do IGCSEs but many schools outside of the UK do too.
You need to be in your final senior year - ie.2nd year of A levels etc - when you apply.
You cannot apply with just GCSES or IGCSEs.

i'm outside of the uk, but i am british and am aiming to go to a british university
What exact part is confusing you? cause every youtube video related to UCAS is very straightforward and clear
