The United Kingdom comprises England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Most undergraduate degrees take three years, or four years in Scotland. Applications are usually made through UCAS using qualifications such as A levels or an accepted equivalent. Some universities may also accept direct applications. Your WIN counsellor will explain the right route, entry requirements and deadlines for you.
