A Parents鈥?nbsp;Guide to UCAS Applications
A)
To
support
your
child
through
the
UCAS
(Universities
and
Colleges
Admissions Service) process, you鈥檒l need to be aware of the key dates and 鈥?/p>
make
sure
that
they
are,
too.
鈥淭he
universi
ty
application
process
is
a
minefield,鈥?nbsp;
says
Wendy
Pannell,
whose
daughter
is
in
year
13.
It
can
be
particularly confusing for parents who want to be supportive, but who have no
previous
experience
of
the
university
admissions
service.
鈥淯niversity
has
chan
ged
enormously,鈥?nbsp;
says
Andrew
Swarbrick,
university
applications
coordinator at the independent Abingdon school, Oxfordshire. 鈥淧arents need
to
remember that
it鈥檚 different
from
how
it
was
for
them.
They
need
to
start
with
a
blank
slate.鈥?nbsp;
With
that
in
mind,
here鈥檚
how
you
can
help
your
sixth
-
former
to
find
and
apply
to
a
university
that鈥檚
right
for
them.
B) Most schools will host information days that help parents to prepare. 鈥淕o
to those sessions if a school is running them,鈥?nbsp;says Nancy Raynsford, whose
daughter
is
in
her
first
year
at
Liverpool
University.
Students
should
think
about where they want to go and what they want to study in year 12, as the
application
procedure
will
get
underway
in
the
autumn
term
of
year
13.
But
with 37,000 courses to choose from at over 300 institutions, how can you help
them
to
narrow
down
the
options?
C)
If
your
sixth-former
has
a
dream
career
in
mind,
such
as
medicine
or
dentistry,
they鈥檒l
need
a
specific
degree
to
achieve
it.
If
they
don鈥檛
know,
admissions
tutors
advise
students
to
apply
for
a
subject
they
enjoy
or
a
course
they
are
fascinated
by.
Make
use
of
the
resources
available
online,
such
as
university
league
tables
and
prospectuses
