Admission & Financing

Applications

All undergraduate applications to Scottish universities are submitted via the UK’s centralised application website called UCAS. Applications from everywhere in the world must be made through this system. UCAS will ask you to submit details of your current education and any qualifications already achieved, a personal statement, and an academic reference.

The UCAS application system typically opens on 1st September the year before the start of the course, and the usual deadline for applying is 15th January. We may be able to accept late applications, though we recommend applying prior to the deadline. You can apply before you have received final grades from examinations/high school tests.

Postgraduate applications should be made directly via the Abertay website. The online application can be found on the relevant course page. The application will ask you to submit details of your current education and any qualifications already achieved, a personal statement, and an academic reference. There is no strict deadline to apply, though applications from international students should be made in good time to allow for visa processing time.
