For the majority of full-time university courses, the deadline for university applications is mid-January of the year in which you want to start studying.
Part-time courses can start at any time of year and run for different lengths of time. Always ask the university of your choice directly about their part-time courses and send your applications for part-time courses to the university Admissions Office direct.
Applications for Open University places can be made at almost any time of the year. Open University courses start in February or May or September.

August
|
This is the period when A level results are published. Students find out if they have got the full-time place they want. If not, they can go through the Clearing process to find an alternative place. The UCAS vacancy information service starts on 14th August 2008. There is a lot of information in the newspapers, on teletext, and on websites about the places that have not been filled. Applying through Clearing can be a frantic business - work fast to be sure of a place !
If you have your full-time place sorted out, there are other things to do. Accommodation has to be arranged if you are going to live away from home; student loans and grants have to be organised and signed up for through your Local Authority. This is a busy time of year for students who are about to go to university.
For part-time courses starting soon, it may not be too late to apply. Contact the university you are interested in now.
