 Do you know your bops from your balls? Or your CATS from your CUKAS?
Heading into the world of higher education can be like learning a new language – there's more jargon than you can shake a soc at. That's why we've created this handy glossary of all the weird and wonderful terms academics like to use. Let Push be your guide. You'll need us. Honestly, it's a jungle out there.

 Uni applications
Not got a place yet? If none of your unis offered you a place or you played hard to get and turned down all their advances, then you might still find something through UCAS Extra. The idea is that you can apply to courses that still have spaces even if they weren't one of your first choices.  For year 12s
Are you heading down the uni highway? This month you can officially start applying to uni for 2019 entry. UCAS opens its website for people to register on 22nd May. Don’t worry, the deadline is still a while away, but the dogs are now off the leash. Hopefully, your thoughts about what you might want to study have, like chewing gum on the pavement, been getting firmer. The next question is where to study? Sometimes this isn’t just about where it is in the country, but about what the place is really like – the atmosphere. No two unis are the same. The surroundings and building affect how it feels, but so too do the people, the students. Some unis are posh, some are full of students from the area, some are ethnic melting pots, some are arty, sciency or businessy. Some are none of those things.  Year 12
UCAS already? You may have nearly a year until your uni application deadline for 2019, but if you're clever (and we’re sure you are), you'll want to be as on-the-ball as Cinderella’s godmother and get your application right at the front of the queue. That means getting it submitted by around half term in the Autumn. Still think you've got ages? Just think about all the lessons, summer exams, Saturday jobs, parties, holidays and procrastination that you've got to fit in. Blink and the year will be gone.  Year 12
You've probably started thinking about your options after school already, even if by mistake, but soon your teachers are going to start pushing you for a plan. So when the family's getting on your wick over the festive period, what better excuse is there for finding some alone time than that you want to get ahead of the game?  Year 12
Your mates in the year above might be able to breathe a sigh of relief having submitted their final UCAS applications, and rightly so. But for you, the process is quickly becoming a reality. So now is as good a time to get your options after school ready. If uni's in the cards and you've already got an idea of what subject you want to commit a few years of your life to, then kudos to you. Go to our Which Uni? page for all the info on how to pick the perfect place for you.  Push has always got your back, so this is your last minute call in case you're still planning to apply to Oxbridge for 2018/19.
We don't mean to stress you out, but time is officially ticking. |
