When applying through UCAS you have the option to apply to up to five universities.

On your application you will provide details of all your exams and qualifications, as well as a reference and a personal statement. The personal statement is your opportunity to outline why you are interested in studying your chosen course, as well as describing any extracurricular activities you are interested in outside your studies, such as clubs, societies, extra subject research or sports.
