Get your application started with confidence, using the timeline below to make a note of important dates and deadlines in the UCAS calendar.
You can apply to Kent from September 2023.
Visiting universities helps you to discover the places and courses that suit you. Read our tips and advice for guidance.
From September you'll be able to apply.
16 October is the deadline for Kent and Medway Medical School.
For all other subject areas, you’ve still got time to complete your application and perfect your personal statement. Once that’s done you can focus on getting the best grades you can.
If you haven’t applied yet, and need some help writing your personal statement, take a look at our helpful blogs on how to structure your personal statement and the personal statement do’s and don’ts.
31 January 2024 is the main UCAS deadline. You can still apply via UCAS up until 30 June, but you may not be able to get on to the course you want at your preferred university - why risk it?
Kent offer holder? Apply for accommodation now.
February 2024 - UCAS Extra opens for any applicants who received no offers, or who rejected all their offers.
If we have offered you a place, you can come and meet us at an Applicant Event. You may also be invited for an interview.
Funding applications will open via Student Finance England in late February. It’s a good idea to check eligibility criteria and apply as soon as you can. You don’t need to know which university you’re going to before making an application.
If you applied to Kent by the 31 January, we will send you our decision by the end of March. If you accept the offer, don’t forget to apply for accommodation! You can look around in person at an Applicant Event or take a virtual tour of our rooms.
If you've heard back from all the universities you applied to, you can start weighing up your options. Maybe make a pros and cons list for each of them based on what you know. You don’t have to make any choices until your last decision comes in.
If you applied by the October or January deadline, you’ll receive a decision in May. You must make your firm and insurance decisions by 6 June. If you're unsure, revisit your priorities and speak to your support group.
6 June 2024 - Reply to offers if you’ve received your decisions.
Your last chance to make a late application to UCAS is 30 June.
Applications received after this time will automatically be entered into Clearing.
If you are applying to study in the UK from overseas, you may need a Student visa. Now’s the time to look into the process and begin your application. You can find helpful information on our website and on the UK government’s site.
4 July 2024 - Last date to add a UCAS Extra choice.
5 July 1014 - Confirmation, Clearing and Adjustment open. If you don’t have an offer, you can apply for any course that has vacancies.
