How to apply

Applying for an undergraduate course

All applications to full-time undergraduate degree courses must be submitted via UCAS’s (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) online facility.

For entry in September 2013, you can submit your application to UCAS anytime from September 2012 to June 2013. However, UCAS has set different application deadlines for different courses, most notably 15 October, 15 January and 24 March. Applications received after the course application deadline cannot be guaranteed equal academic consideration. It is advisable to apply as early as possible, especially if you are applying for a popular course.
- It is even more important to start your visa application early as the process in some countries can be slow. The University will send a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) Statement to international students who need to apply for a student visa. You will need the CAS reference number to apply for your visa. You will need to complete your administrative, immigration and financial arrangements well before you leave for Bradford.
- Special arrangements may be made if you are applying from a college which has a partnership agreement with the University. Your college should have more information on this or contact the University’s International Office if you think this applies to you.
- If you are only applying for one course at one university, it is worth bearing in mind that it is simpler (and less expensive) to apply via UCAS.
- The UCAS code for the University of Bradford is: BRADF B56.
