How does the UCAS application process work?

When you apply to UCAS, you’ll be asked to submit up to five options for the courses you’d like to study at the institutes you’d like to join.

You’ll find all our courses listed on the UCAS website, along with our course and campus codes.

To make an application through UCAS, you’ll need to go to www.ucas.com and register before you can submit any choices.

If you’ve used all five choices on your application, and you’re not holding any offers, you could still find a place using UCAS’ free service, Extra. Find our more about Extra on the UCAS website or our helpful blog .

What to include in your UCAS application

What your UCAS application will include:

* A list of all your academic achievements, including any pending qualifications

* A Personal Statement, split into three questions (minimum of 350 characters each)

* A reference from your teacher, tutor or employer

Writing Your Personal Statement

If you’re applying to university for 2027 entry, your UCAS personal statement is split into three sections, with each section asking a different question to help you structure your answers.

The three questions are designed to help you showcase your motivations, experience and suitability for your chosen course. Each section has a minimum character count of 350, and your answers across all three sections must not exceed 4,000 characters in total (including spaces).

You’ll see character counters for each section, along with guidance in the UCAS application to help you shape your answers.

### The Three Questions

1. Why do you want to study this course or subject?

This is your chance to show what excites you about the subject you’re applying for.

Think about:

* Specific areas of the course or industry that interest you

* Your personal journey and what led you here

* Where this course could take you in the future

* Books, blogs, podcasts, or articles you’ve explored

* Your career aspirations and how this subject fits in

2. How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?

Use this section to reflect on your education so far.

You could include:

* Relevant subjects, modules, or topics you’ve studied

* Music, music technology or performance modules you’ve taken

* Assignments or projects you’ve enjoyed

* Independent research or reading you’ve done around the subject

* Skills you’ve developed through coursework or exams

3. What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences useful?

Here’s where you can show the bigger picture – your experience beyond the classroom.

For example:

* Work experience or volunteering

* Creative or personal projects

* Clubs, societies, or extracurricular activities

* Travel, languages, and leadership roles

* Challenges you’ve overcome or goals you’ve worked towards

Top tips

Keep it honest, relevant and clear. Make sure you answer each question properly and use your own voice. Write a first draft in a separate document so you can plan, edit and proofread it before you add it to your application.

Check your spelling and grammar – and don’t be afraid to ask someone you trust to check your work before you submit it.

What not to Include

Please don’t include any information about support or access requirements in your personal statement. There’s a dedicated section on the UCAS form for this, which ensures the right support teams at BIMM University can help you.
