How do Universities Find Out This?

[janeeire244]

Does anyone know how universities verify whether you are at another university when you apply?

For instance, Oxbridge claim they don’t allow you to apply to them while studying elsewhere. But, how would they know for sure if you just applied and said you weren’t at another university on UCAS?

I understand that would be a fraudulent thing to do but I’m not asking whether or not it is right or wrong to do so; I’m just asking practically how they’d find out?

And why would you start uni , waste that time , money and energy , only to restart elsewhere a year later. You are undermining any chance of committing to first uni , course, making friends to chase rainbows. Not to mention wasting a year’s sfe funding.

You’re shouting into the wind, people….
