UCAS generic terms of service

We have published specific terms and conditions that apply to specific services. Those specific terms and conditions will always apply, where relevant. These are the terms and conditions on which we supply “products” to you, whether these are services such as consultancy and insights, reports or digital content, for which we have not published specific terms and conditions elsewhere.

UCAS terms explained

We use quite a few terms in the application process. We’ve explained them all here, if you need to check what any mean.

University life in the UK

Your life as a university student in the UK will be a unique experience. You might encounter new ways of living, studying, and socialising that are different from the way students do it in your home country. This guide will help you succeed as a student, whether it’s understanding the different types of university in the UK, adopting good academic habits, or making friends.

Using your personal statement beyond a university application

You’ve done all the hard work creating your personal statement, but have you thought about how you can use what you’ve written for different purposes? Whether you’re thinking about applying for an apprenticeship, or there’s a job you’d love, and you need a covering letter, your personal statement can be a great place to start.
