How to apply through UCAS
You will need to apply through UCAS if you would like to study full-time on a HNC, HND or degree course at SAC.
All applications to UCAS are made on-line through UCAS.
There are a number of benefits to applying on-line:
- You can change your application as often as necessary before you send it to your teacher, careers advisor or directly to UCAS.
- The co-ordinator at your school, college, careers centre or British Council can return your application if it needs to be changed.
- Applications are normally processed by UCAS within one working day.
- There is an online help facility which can guide you through your application.
When applying for a course at SAC through UCAS you will need to supply the following information in section 3:
- Institution Code Name: SAC
- Institution Code: S01
- Course Code: See relevant page in prospectus or on web site
- Campus Code:
- X - Aberdeen Campus
- Y - Ayr Campus
- Z - Edinburgh Campus
- Short form of course title: See relevant page in prospectus
Deferred Entry
It is also possible to apply through UCAS this year, for entry onto a course in a year's time. You can do this if you know that you are going to take a year out between school and university, but would like to secure your place on a course before you go.
The UCAS application form explains how to indicate that you are applying for entry in the following year.
