Your application
journey
Top dates to note on your journey to university life.
June, July and August
Begin to research the programmes and careers you’re interested in, with the
help of your Guidance Teachers and Careers Advisers if you’re at school or
college. Consider the universities where you’d like to study and register to
attend open days.
Check application deadlines and make sure you leave enough time to complete
everything. There’s more information on the UCAS website
ucas.com, as well as specific information about applying to GCU on our
website gcu.ac.uk/howtoapply
Decide which Regional Higher Education Conventions (held in association with
UCAS) you’d like to attend. They are free and held throughout the UK. You can
meet university representatives, ask questions and gather as much information
as you can about all of the universities and degree courses that you’re
interested in – we look forward to seeing you there!
