Finding university accommodation

If your child has their heart set on university halls, they’ll need to do their research and apply early. Places aren’t always guaranteed, so it’s important to encourage them to think about alternative accommodation, which can be equally fun and provide a safe living environment.

Finding work after you graduate

As an international student, the process of getting work might be different to what you’re used to at home. There are additional rules and limitations that overseas students need to bear in mind to comply with the conditions of your visa while working.

First-generation students

Students who do not have parents or carers who have attended university themselves sometimes find it useful to have additional information and help when making their decisions and applying to higher education.

Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives you the right to access information held by public bodies that is not routinely available from other sources. UCAS is subject to Freedom of Information from 1 November 2011, but only in relation to some of its functions.
