As results day approaches, UCAS is encouraging students to stay informed, revisit their choices, and be prepared with a plan B – reinforcing its commitment to supporting every applicant on their journey to higher education.
Key takeaways
- The number of UK 18-year-old applicants by 30 June has reached a record high of 328,390, up 2.2% compared to the same point last year.
- There have been 138,460 international undergraduate applicants through UCAS, an increase of 2.2% compared to the same point last year.
- 94.5% of all students who applied before the January deadline are going into the results period having received at least one offer from a university or college.
In the run-up to results day, it’s important to remind students and their families that while the vast majority of applicants secure their first choice each year, it’s always worth having a plan B. Students can begin by revisiting all their original five choices on their UCAS application as a starting point.
Whether they have already applied or are still considering beginning their studies at university or college this year, UCAS is here to support them every step of the way.
