This section provides support for students of any nationality applying to Christ's in Oct 2025 from within the UK, including those who live abroad during the holidays but who attend school in the UK.
IMPORTANT: If you are instead applying from outside the UK, please read the international application support section instead - the information below does not include details for those applying from outside the UK.
We aim to give all the detail you need to make a strong application so that students from all backgrounds can make the best application possible.

If you are considering an application to Christ's in October 2025, welcome! This section will be updated with information for you in January 2025. The pages to read as you prepare for application are how to apply (for an overview of the application process), the relevant subject page (details relating to your course), this application support section (help with the initial stages of applying and making a valid application) and we will publish our current applicants section at the end of 20 September (guiding you through the process once you have applied to Christ's via UCAS). Please be especially careful to check if your course requires an Admissions test that requires registration by mid-September (see the subject pages). You are advised to register as soon as possible once booking opens for these. |
The information in the links below supports you with the initial stage of the application process: making a valid application. It provides details of the various forms and deadlines as well as application advice. Once you have sent your various forms and made a valid application, you will then be supported via the detailed current applicants section (published on 20 September each year for both UK and international applicants).
