Brilliant. Here is our first question which has come all the way from India!
I am in the process of making a UCAS application from Delhi, India. Will UCAS be attending the British Council event at Kasturba Gandhi Marg in Delhi on 22 and 23 November 2008?

Thanks for that.
Fees and money puzzle most students at the best of times but it must be even more confusing for those coming from abroad. With that in mind. . .
Who will decide what level of tutition fees I will have to pay for my course? I am applying from China, can you help me?

Hello to you in China, thanks for your message. In terms of the level of your tuition fees you have to pay the amount is set by universities and colleges, so contact them for more information - visit the websites of institutions that you are considering because many list their fees. I would also advise that you check the course search facility on the UCAS website for more information. You can also contact UKCISA, for more information www.ukcisa.org.uk Good luck with your studies.

Hello, thanks for this question. There are over 300 universities and colleges in the UCAS scheme. There are many universities and colleges offering Law, the easiest way of finding out which these are is to do a course search from the UCAS website. This will not only give you the latest entry requirements for these courses but will give you more indepth information abouut the course and the university and college you are applying too. Look out for Entry Profiles on course search as again this will give you more specific information about the course. Good luck!!

Waiting on a decsion from a university is an anxious time for everyone so could you answer us this?. . .
I am an international student from Malaysia applying to study medicine in the UK. When will the universities I have applied to make a decision on my application?

This is a very good question - thankyou. It can be a very anxious time waiting for decisions to come in from the universities you have applied too. I would advise you to keep checking Track for the latest decisions coming in from the universities you have applied too. You could also contact the universities you have applied too, but please try not to worry. It may be the new year until you receive your decision through UCAS and this is perfectly normal.

And for those who are yet to send their application, how do international applicants pay the application fee?
I'm a student from Poland and I'm completing my application at UCAS. I would like to ask how I can settle the application payment?
