Your UCAS Application - Things you need to know (Part One)

What is UCAS exactly?

Well to put it simply, it's an application form that enables you to apply to a maximum of 5 universities for the price of 15 pounds sterling. One application form - 5 universities max. As opposed to the system here in Brunei where you have to fill out different forms for each institution.

Those who do not want to use UCAS are those who definitely know which university they want to go to and have no intention at all for any other Universities. In this case, going to an education consultant or agent would definitely suit you. However it is important to keep in mind though, we offer our services for free and we get no profit from your admission to University hence we can ensure you that our advice would be totally unbiased.

So now that you know what exactly is UCAS and want to apply using this service what do you do now?

First, you have to REGISTER WITH HEU - Only!

Registering with us means that we would be able to keep track of your application, write your reference, and give you advice on how to write your personal statement.

In order to register with HEU, make sure that you have prepared the following for you HEU counsellor
- Form A and B (this was done during VISION last year!)
- a draft of your personal statement

We will only give you the BUZZWORD (which is the password you need to register with UCAS under us) once you've done the above.

Once you've obtained the buzzword, you can then log on to http://www.ucas.com/ and click on APPLY.

It is important to note that those who enter MD UCAS database without prior registration with MD HEU shall be deleted from the system so please, come and see your counsellor first!
