Key Dates for the University Application Process 2020 - 2022 November 2020 The Parents’ Evening in late November is an ideal opportunity to start thinking about university applications. Your teachers will be able to answer any questions you might have about your suitability to study certain subjects at degree level. More broadly, the key message is to engage fully with your academic endeavours and the School’s Co-Curricular programme. This will help you have a competitive UCAS application. You should also think about ways in which you can make your application stand out. Attending additional webinars, editing a school journal and reading widely are three excellent starting points. This is particularly pertinent for any boy hoping to apply to Oxbridge. January 2021 In January, Subject Advisers host drop-in meetings during form time. This will help you to identify the course(s) you might like to study at university. Between now and June, you have time to research and discover different subject and course options. You will have the opportunity to use Unifrog in your research.
