There always seems to be a number of people who want to apply for a university degree, but who do not want to use UCAS, the national centralised admissions service that all universities use. All of Bradford’s undergraduate applications are processed by them; we only deal with direct applications for postgraduate courses. An example of a conversation with a person reluctant to use them might go like this:

Student:

I’d like an application form for x.

Me:

For undergraduate courses, you’ll need to apply through UCAS.

Student:

But I’m an international student.

Me:

You still have to apply through UCAS.

Student:

But UCAS is slow, I want my application to be processed directly.

Me:

You still have to apply through UCAS.

Student:

But I’m only applying to study here, not anywhere else.

Me:

You still have to apply through UCAS.

Student:

But applying through UCAS costs money!

Me:

You still have to apply through UCAS.

Student:

But couldn’t you just make an exception for me?

Me:

You still have to apply through UCAS.

Student:

But…

They usually get the point after a while.
