Becoming a UCAS centre
Schools, colleges, advisers or agents can become registered UCAS centres and get unique access to their students' higher education applications.
Bespoke Data Consultancy
UCAS is the most recognised and trusted brand in higher education. We harness our expertise and data to help you transform recruitment.
Career support at university
University is a critical time for developing your future career. As an international student in the UK, you can access a wealth of support from your university and their dedicated careers teams. You’ll be able to get help on everything from improving your job application process, finding work experience while you’re studying, or getting a graduate role in your chosen industry.
Collaborating with families
As an international adviser or teacher, you will have to communicate with the parents, guardians and carers of your students on a regular basis.
Disabled students
Every year, over 100,000 disabled students (also known as students with special educational needs and disabilities, or SEND for short) apply through UCAS to study at a university or college in the UK – including mental health conditions, learning differences, and long-term health conditions. Students can access a range of support to help them succeed with their studies, day-to-day activities, travel, and lifestyle.
Displaced students
If you're applying to higher education as a refugee, asylum seeker or with an insecure immigration status, there may be support available to help you. This page has been created in collaboration with Refugee Education UK, STAR Network and We Belong.
