Applying

When you apply to the University of York your application is processed by the Admissions team. You can contact us for help and advice at any time before or during the application process.

How to apply

All applications to degree programmes at York must be made through UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service).

• Apply online (UCAS)

Important dates

• You can apply to UCAS for entry in 2012 from 1 September 2011.
• For Medicine at the Hull York Medical School the closing date is 15 October 2011.
• For all other programmes at York the closing date is 15 January 2012.

You should submit your UCAS entry form as soon as you feel you have made the right choice of programmes and institutions, and you should ensure that your form reaches UCAS by the closing date. Applications which arrive after the closing date will be sent to the University, but at York we cannot guarantee that they will be given the same level of consideration as those which arrive on time.

What happens to your application?

When you apply, UCAS sends your application to the Admissions team at York. Key details are checked centrally, and then your application is passed on to the department. From then on departments handle admissions differently, so you may next hear directly from the department, the Admissions team, or from UCAS.

In each subject section of the prospectus you will find details of the department’s selection policy and programme requirements. Details of the typical offer for some qualifications are given on the title page of each subject section. These could change after the publication of the prospectus so it is important that you check the department website as well.

Because many programmes are oversubscribed, there is no guarantee that applicants who have, or are predicted to achieve, grades equal to or above the typical offer will be made an offer. If an offer is not made an offer the University will provide feedback to the applicant.
