DS can’t apply to Glasgow uni for economics as he’s from Scotland? Have I misunderstood this?

[sunshinechaser]

My DS is only in S3 but he’s expressed an interest in studying economics at uni. I’ve got no idea if he will be academically able and how well he’ll do in his highers but I thought I’d have a browse online at the entrance requirements. Glasgow uni seems to be in the top 10 of unis to study economics so I checked the entrance requirements and I think from what I read on the UCAS website is that he can’t apply as he’s from Scotland. Have I got this right? I can’t believe this might be the case if correct. I could be totally wrong as I have no clue with I’m applications and processes yet-I’ve got all this to look forward to with him!

The UCAS deadline has passed

The UCAS deadline for universities to make offers to those who applied by 29th January is 14th May so not yet passed. Students have until 5th June to reply (though accommodation is often allocated based on date applied for and you can only apply after firming their offer).

UCAS Extra has different deadlines (as have applications made after 29th January)

I double checked this and spotted a change for next year - if you have all your offers in by 31st March 2026 then you will be required to reply by 6th May but universities will still have until 13th May to send out offers. I guess universities have been pushing this so they can get a better picture of how many ‘live’ offers they have out and can send out more offers if their initial batch are not taken up.
