They can apply online through UCAS for up to five courses. <strong>The institution code for Edge Hill University is E42.<\/strong> Let us help you make their application count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key part of their UCAS application is the personal statement. From 2026 entry onwards, this is changing from a free-form essay to a new question-based format. Read our latest guide to discover what\u2019s new and how you can support your student as they write theirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve also created a guide to help you support your student through every stage of the application process. From key dates to keep in mind, to exploring their options if they decide to change their course choices or don\u2019t receive the results they expected.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-ehu-button-block-1mFJ5p wp-block-lazyblock-ehu-button-block\"><a class=\"ehu-buttons wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/study\/apply\/ucas\/\">Apply through UCAS<span class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/span><\/a><a class=\"ehu-buttons wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/news\/2022\/11\/university-application-advice-for-parents-and-supporters\/\">Application guidance for parents and supporters<span class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/span><\/a><a class=\"ehu-buttons wp-block-button__link\" href=\"\/news\/2025\/09\/supporting-your-student-to-write-their-personal-statement\/\">Personal statement guidance for parents and supporters<span class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"lazyblock-ehu-icon-panel-Z20oxCX wp-block-lazyblock-ehu-icon-panel\">            <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-outer\" style=\"justify-content:flex-start;\">\n                \n                                    <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-inner\">\n                        \n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/accounts.ucas.com\/Account\/Login\" class=\"fa-icon-linked\" rel=\"nofollow\" aria-label=\"January UCAS application deadline for September entry.\">\n                                                \n                                                    <div class=\"fa-icon-panel fa-icon-panel-row\">\n                                                \n                            <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-icon\">\n                                <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-clock fa\"><\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            \n                                                            <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-content\">\n                                    <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-title\">\n                                        January                                    <\/div>\n                                    \n                                                                            <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-subtext\">\n                                            UCAS application deadline for September entry.                                        <\/div>\n                                                                        \n                                <\/div>\n                                                    \n                            <\/div>                             <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-inner\">\n                        \n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/apply-online-for-student-finance\" class=\"fa-icon-linked\" rel=\"nofollow\" aria-label=\"February\/March Student Finance England applications usually open in late February\/early March.\">\n                                                \n                                                    <div class=\"fa-icon-panel fa-icon-panel-row\">\n                                                \n                            <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-icon\">\n                                <span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fa-coins fa\"><\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            \n                                                            <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-content\">\n                                    <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-title\">\n                                        February\/March                                    <\/div>\n                                    \n                                                                            <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-subtext\">\n                                            Student Finance England applications usually open in late February\/early March.                                        <\/div>\n                                                                        \n                                <\/div>\n                                                    \n                            <\/div>                             <\/a>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"fa-icon-panel-inner\">\n                        \n                                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/study\/visit-us\/offer-holder-days\/\" class=\"fa-icon-linked\" rel=\"nofollow\" aria-label=\"February -
