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.

Graduate schemes and entry-level jobs

Finding your first full-time job after you graduate can be a challenge, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the UK jobs system. There are a few types of roles that you can get after university, each with its own strengths, weaknesses and application requirements.

Historical entry grades: Adviser guide

Our course pages now display both the advertised and actual grades of accepted students to help students understand more about the grades universities and colleges have accepted previously. The entry grades data uses up to five years of historical data (2019– 2023 application cycles).

We run live sessions in the UCAS Hub to help those researching their next steps, and record them all. You can access them below.
