THERE’S stilltime to find a place at a university or college this year, buttime is running out.

That’s the message from UCAS,the organisation responsible for managing applications to higher education in the UK.

Although the ‘on time’ deadline passed in January, applicants could still be made an offer before ‘clearing’if they apply by 11.59pm on Sunday.

While universities and colleges are not obliged to consider anyone atthis stage, admissions officers still want to hear from you if you are considering becoming a fresher this year.

Applications received after this date go into clearing automatically. So itis the last chance to make a full set of choices and have them sent on to the institutions.

Andrea Robertson, director of Relationship Management, UCAS said: “If you missed the January deadline but are still keen to find a course, there is time to be made an offer if you apply now.

“Although there are no guarantees atthis stage, a strong application will be treated seriously if the university or college has places available.
