Information for students from Syria

Undergraduate

Please note, if you would like to apply for an undergraduate degree from within Syria, you will be unable to apply through UCAS due to a restriction imposed by one of UCAS's technology suppliers based in the USA.

To apply, please instead use the online application form below.

If you are a resident of the Crimea Region/Sevastopol, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or Syria but are applying from a different location you will not be affected and can still register and apply through UCAS as normal.

Applications open on 1 September for entry the following September. The normal closing date is 26 January, but some courses will accept applications until 30 June. You are advised to apply as early as possible as courses have limited places.

You should refer to individual programme pages to see whether your course has any additional application requirements. Applications are usually assessed within two months.

Postgraduate

For the majority of postgraduate programmes, you can apply via our website. Simply click the 'apply now' button on your chosen programme page. Some programmes have different application procedures, so always check the programme page before making your application.

What to include in your application

As well as information about your education history, and the course you’re choosing, you’ll also need to provide a personal statement as part of your application. This is your chance to explain how your academic experience is relevant to the course you want to study. You’ll also have an opportunity to tell us about relevant extracurricular activities you’ve taken part in and how they make you stand out.
