Undergraduate applications

All undergraduate applications should be made through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Detailed information for those advising students on how to apply for undergraduate courses can be found on the UCAS website at http://www.ucas.ac.uk/advisers/, and on the Exeter Undergraduate website.

When helping your students to fill in their UCAS form please be aware of the following:

  • Students can apply anytime between 1 September and 30 June. However, we strongly advise that students apply as soon as possible to avoid problems obtaining a visa.
  • The UCAS code for Exeter is E84 EXETER.  If your student is applying for a course at our Cornwall Campus please note that these programmes are indicated by 'Cornwall Campus' after the title and you should still indicate 'C' under 'Campus Code' in the 'choices' section of the application.
  • If you wish to send additional information along with the UCAS form (such as academic transcripts) then please send these direct to the Admissions Office at ug-ad@exeter.ac.uk.
  • Please include your students' name and UCAS applications number, and the programme that he or she is applying for in all correspondence with us.  This allows us to match your query with that student's application.
  • Students applying for direct entry into the second year of their undergraduate degree do not apply through UCAS.  If your student wants to apply for direct second-year entry then please send a letter and copy of their academic transcript to ug-ad@exeter.ac.uk.
  • Please ensure that your student fills in their UCAS form in full.  If you want to send us academic transcripts, please make sure that these are in addition to rather than instead of the information supplied in the UCAS form.  Submitting an incomplete UCAS form may mean that your student's application is delayed.

It's vital that your student's application form makes it really clear that they have applied through your agency. This allows us to quickly see what commission we owe you. To make it clear that a student has applied through the agency please make sure that:

  • You give your contact details in the 'Correspondence address' section of the UCAS form.  Please make sure that you give your name in the first line of the address, and give your agency's name (and office if you have more than one office) in the second line.
  • If your student wants all correspondence from UCAS to be sent directly to them, them please ensure that they include a line in their Personal Statement that tells us that they have applied through your agency (e.g. 'Please note that I have applied through xxx agency, yyy office).
