Everything You Need to Know About UK University Applications

Join Hannah Young on Saturday, 24th January 2026, from 3:00–3:45pm GMT as she shares insider strategies and answers your questions live to help international students stand out when applying to UK universities.

Introduction

Applying to universities in the UK—especially from overseas—can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re a student aged 15+ exploring the possibility of studying in the UK, a parent or guardian trying to understand a new admissions system, or a counsellor supporting internationally mobile students, it’s completely normal to wonder:

• Are we missing something important from abroad?
• How does an application stand out?
• What do I need to know and how can I support or be supported effectively?

This 30-minute webinar, followed by a live Q&A, provides international students, families, and counsellors with the clarity and confidence needed to navigate the UK admissions landscape. Hannah Young will guide you through the essential steps of applying through UCAS, helping you build a strong, well-structured application, understand how UK universities evaluate international applicants, and avoid common pitfalls at every stage.

What We Will Cover

• How the centralised UCAS system works—and how international students can choose the right five choices strategically.
• How to balance aspirational, achievable, and safe options so students can make well-informed decisions. 
• What makes an excellent personal statement, and how predicted grades influence admissions.
• What universities look for beyond academics, including super curricular engagement and subject-specific preparation.
• Key deadlines for competitive applications, including Oxbridge, Medicine, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science.
