Application timeline 2024/25 entry
This timeline gives you an overview of the application process, key dates to remember and when you can meet us.
Apply
May 2023 to January 2024
You can start your UCAS application as early as 16 May, but you can't submit it until 5 September. The deadline for equal consideration is 31 January 2024. You can still apply after this date; however, we cannot guarantee applications will be given the same level of consideration as those that arrive before this date. To apply to York, you will need to complete an online application via UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service).
Open Days
Explore what studying and living in York is really like at one of our Open Days. We'll update our pages with event dates and details as they're announced through the year.
Deadline for Medicine
16 October 2023
Today is the UCAS closing date for applications to Hull York Medical School.
Apply for student finance
31 January 2024, 6pm GMT
To ensure that your funding is ready for the start of your course, apply early for your student finance. You don't need a confirmed place at university to apply.
You can also see whether you're eligible for any of our scholarships and bursaries.
UCAS deadline
31 January 2024
Today is the UCAS application deadline for equal consideration for all courses (except Medicine). We will consider applications received after this date if places are available. Although we will do everything we can in the circumstances, we cannot guarantee that late applications will be given the same level of consideration as those that arrive by 31 January.
Apply for accommodation
Applications open in early 2024
If you apply to York as a new first-year undergraduate for 2024/25 entry and receive an offer from us, you may be covered by our accommodation guarantee of a room in single-occupancy accommodation that is owned, managed or approved by the University, provided that you follow specific steps which will be detailed when you accept on offer to study at York.

Visit days
January to April 2024
Congratulations if you've received an offer from us! Your next step is to attend a visit day and meet your department.
UCAS Extra opens
28 February 2024
If you've used all five choices, and you're not holding any offers, you might be able to add another choice through UCAS Extra.
- UCAS Extra (ucas.com)
Reply to your offers
6 June 2024
Now it's time to reply to your offers. Accept one of your offers as your firm (first) choice, and one as your insurance (second) choice.
You’ll need to check UCAS Hub for your own personal deadline to reply to your offers. If UCAS does not receive a reply by your deadline, they will decline on your behalf.
Deadline for late applications
31 January 2024
The deadline for late applications - although we recommend you apply as early as possible. Where possible we will continue to process late applications and make offers right up to this deadline.
Early Clearing
5 July 2024
If you’re not holding any offers (including through UCAS Extra), Clearing is your last opportunity to be considered by universities who still have courses available. You’ll also go straight through to Clearing if you made your application after 30 June.
Where possible, we’ll try to make decisions on these applications as soon as we receive them. However, in some cases, we’ll need to consider them as part of the larger Clearing process in August.
Results time
Results days for 2024:
- A level results and Pearson BTEC Level 3 Nationals (both QCF and RQF) released: 15 August
- GCSE results released: 22 August
- Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) Highers and Advanced Highers released: 6 August
Confirmation and Clearing
Once you've got your exam results, we'll be able to make a final decision on your application. Please note that we can only confirm your place based on your official results – we cannot make any decisions based on 'provisional' results.
If you’re not holding any offers (including through UCAS Extra) you could explore options through Clearing.
