If you are applying for the 2027 UK intake, you should track a handful of dates. The 15 October 2026 date has already passed, while the January 2027 date for most UG courses is still ahead. Dates can change, so confirm them on the official UCAS site.

| 15 October 2026 | Equal consideration date for Oxford, Cambridge and most medicine, veterinary and dentistry courses (passed) |

| 13 January 2027 | Scheduled equal consideration date for most UG courses |
| 25 February 2027 | Extra opens, letting you add one more choice if you have no offer after using all five choices |
| 30 June 2027 | Applications received by this date are shared with universities and colleges |
| 1 July 2027 | Last date to add an Extra choice |
Later Dates in the 2027 Cycle
| Date | Event |

My Advice
If you are aiming for a course with the earlier equal consideration date and have missed it, speak to the university about what is still possible. For everything else, apply well before the January date, since individual universities and courses can set their own deadlines.
