Applying to Oxford or Cambridge (Oxbridge)
As if there weren't enough bits of paper and deadlines to remember, the application process for Oxbridge is slightly different from other UCAS institutions.
From 2009, if you're applying to Cambridge, you'll need to submit your UCAS form by the 15th October. After that, you'll need to fill out another form called an SAQ which will ask you about stuff that didn't make it onto the UCAS form.
For Oxford, not only do you have to fill out a UCAS form, but you’ve got another form to wrestle with for your chosen college – Oxford and Cambridge Universities are both made up of about 30 colleges each and candidates need to choose and apply to the individual colleges, which pick who they want for themselves.
Both the UCAS form and the Oxbridge form need to be in by October 15th.
