You can get advice on your application from your teacher or careers adviser. To apply, fill in an online application and submit it to one of your tutors. After checking your details, and adding the academic reference, your school or college submits the completed application online to UCAS.

I am applying independently in the UK

If you are not currently at school or college, you can apply online independently. You can get advice about your application directly from UCAS, or from a careers guidance service.
