Overview
UCAS (University and College application service) is a centralized service that allows students to apply to universities in the United Kingdom. So if you want to obtain an undergraduate degree in the UK, you will have to apply through the UCAS online service called ‘Apply’. You can apply to up to 5 colleges in the UK with one application via UCAS. The system is fairly simple. Once you have decided on the colleges that you will be applying to, fill out an application form, attach your grades and recommendation letters, draft a personal statement and you’re good to go!
Once you have submitted your application, you can use the UCAS ‘Track’ service to (as the name suggests) track the status of your application, view your offers as they are made and accept/reject them.

These updates will be reflected on the College and University websites themselves.
