All universities can be categorized and classified by an application type. As a first approach you should decide which application types you are - or would like to be - familiar the most. The list below will help you decide. You don't have to know exactly which country or university you would like to study in, since application types are supra-national categories.Let's see an example: American application type with its Common Application considered an easy and clear application form to fill and admission process to follow. Why we are telling this? For instance if you would be glad to study and - later on - life in Switzerland, but there is the tiny little difficulty that you neither speak German nor French, Italian or Romansh you still have a good chance to study in that beautiful country. A lot of American universities are in Switzerland . Of course they are offering admissions for international students that are following the American application type. So if you won't be admitted to Harvard for the first attempt you can still go to Switzerland .

The UCAS application process
Before applying, check the minimum entry qualifications in the prospectus of your chosen university or college. Be aware, though, that the institution may ask for more than these requirements. Any entry requirement will be shown clearly if the institution offers you a place.
You may apply to up to six institutions on a single UCAS application form. (If you apply for more than one subject at the same institution it counts as two choices.) The current fee for applying through this system is L5 for a single choice and L15 for up to six choices. You can submit only one UCAS application form per year.
When UCAS receives your application form, it will send a copy to each of your chosen institutions. Each institution will consider your application and send details of its decision to UCAS. UCAS will forward the decision to you.
For each application, three outcomes are possible. You may be sent an unconditional offer which means you can begin the course at the start of the next academic year. Alternatively, you may be sent a conditional offer which means you have to achieve specific entry requirements in your qualifying examinations.
Finally, the institution may reject your application. If all your chosen institutions reject your application, you will still be able to apply to another UK institution through Clearing.
Don't respond to any offers you receive until UCAS asks you to reply. Then, you can accept no more than two offers. Your first choice will be your firm acceptance (the offer you most want to accept) and your second choice will be your 'insurance' acceptance (a back-up in case your first choice falls through). But note that if your first choice is to accept an unconditional offer, you will not be able to make a second, back-up choice. Once you accept an unconditional offer, you are committed to that institution.
Universities will confirm or withdraw their conditional offers after they have been notified of the results of your qualifying examinations. Therefore, it is important that you send your examination results to the university or college from which you are holding offers as soon as possible. If you have not matched the entry requirements for either your firm or your conditional offers, you will be able to enter the Clearing procedure.
