If you are applying to Oxbridge, or for a medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine course, the application deadline is mid-October each year. For all other undergraduate courses, the deadline is January 30th. If you miss this deadline, do not worry; almost all UK universities accept international applications up to June 30th.
