Applying to University

How to apply through UCAS

To apply for an undergraduate place at university you need to apply through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) who will then pass on your application to your chosen universities. 

You’ll be able to choose up to five courses, but remember that the same application form and personal statement will go to each choice.

Bangor University's UCAS code is B06.

When to apply for 2024 entry

We advise you to apply as early as you can as we will start considering applications and making offers straight away.

For 2024 entry, the initial UCAS deadline is 31 January 2024, however we welcome applications after this date. Applications received between 31 January and 30 June will continue to be forwarded to universities by UCAS and will receive consideration where places are still available.

You’ll need to get your application in by 16 October 2023 if you’re applying to Oxford, Cambridge and most courses in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine/science.

UCAS Extra 2023 and Clearing 2023

Between 23 February and 4 July, you can use UCAS Extra if you put five choices on your application but you either weren't accepted or you declined any offers you received. If on 5 July you don’t have any offers, you will be able to apply through Clearing.

UCAS Personal Statement

The UCAS Personal Statement is a really important part of your application. This is where you get to persuade the university that they should accept you onto your chosen course. You only get 47 lines (500-550 words) to explain why you want to study the course and the skills or experience you have that are essential for university study.

To write a winning personal statement you must have a good understanding about the course and what you’ll be studying. Remember that you write only one personal statement for your five choices so make sure that the courses are similar, if not the same, and make sure that you don’t mention a specific course or university.
