Application deadlines for top UK universities in 2027 vary by course and university.

- Undergraduate (via UCAS):
- Application opens: 1 September 2026
- Main deadline: 13 January 2027 (equal consideration)
- Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary, Oxford/Cambridge: 15 October 2026
- Late applications: until 30 June 2027 (limited course availability after this)

- Postgraduate: Deadlines differ by program and university. Many close applications between September and November 2026 for January 2027 entry, and between November 2026 and March 2027 for September 2027 entry. Some competitive programs may close earlier.

Admissions tests and English proficiency (like IELTS or TOEFL) may also be required. Deadlines and requirements are subject to change.
