Deadlines for on-time applications
2024 entry application deadlines
For courses starting in 2024 (and for deferred applications), your application should be with us at UCAS by one of these dates – depending on what courses you apply for. If your completed application – including all your personal details and your academic reference – is submitted by the deadline, it is guaranteed to be considered.
16 October 2023 for 2024 entry at 18:00 (UK time) – any course at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, or for most courses in medicine, veterinary medicine/science, and dentistry. You can add choices with a different deadline later, but don’t forget you can only have five choices in total.
31 January 2024 for 2024 entry at 18:00 (UK time) – for the majority of courses.
Some course providers require additional admissions tests to be taken alongside the UCAS application, and these may have a deadline. Find out more about these tests at https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/applying-university/admissions-tests
Check course information in the search tool to see which deadline applies to you at the application weblink below.
Apply as soon as possible: Student funding arrangements mean that as offers are made and places fill up, some courses may only have vacancies for students from certain locations. It’s therefore really important that you apply for your chosen courses by the appropriate deadlines mentioned above, as not all courses will have places for all students.
All applications received after 30 June are entered into Clearing - find out more about Clearing at https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/clearing-and-results-day/what-clearing
Accounting focusses on the communication of economic information, often referred to as the language of business. Accounting information is critical for both internal decision-making and providing information about the position and performance of the organisation to external stakeholders.
This degree prepares students for a career in the accountancy profession, and as such contains considerable practical content and engagement with local employers. Key content areas include Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, Auditing, Taxation and Finance, with increasing specialisation in Accounting Technologies, Ethics and Sustainability Reporting – matching developments in the accountancy profession.
Accounting with French has an integral placement year in a country where the language studied is the dominant tongue, which is often transformational for students’ language and employability skills. This degree also embeds a range of skills expected of a future accounting professional, including critical thinking, communication, ethical decision-making, leadership and team work.
