Starting your uni application soon? Here’s some top application advice from Lois:
👉 Don’t procrastinate ⏰
👉 Research the courses your uni offers 📚
👉 For your personal statement, answer these 3 key questions:
1. Why do you want to study this course?
2. How have your studies and qualifications prepared you?
3. What else have you done outside of education, and how is it useful?
For applicants applying in the 2026 UCAS cycle, the deadline to guarantee your application is considered is 14 January 2026 at 6pm. Courses may close after this date so your application may not be considered if there are no places available. At Northumbria most courses remain open for the full UCAS cycle but some courses may close after this date, these would typically be Professional Health courses like Midwifery or Physiotherapy so we recommend applying before the deadline where possible.
