It seems a bit early, but with exams almost over and open days starting, I thought I'd start a thread for 2027 university entry. Join us whether you are highly experienced in all matters UCAS and happy to share your knowledge, a first-time university parent like me ready to receive all that wisdom or anywhere in between.

In my case, I went to university in Wales a long time ago, doing a subject that couldn't be further from DDs intentions, so feeling more than a little clueless about the whole thing. DD looking at either music (musical theatre or vocal performance) or design, so we'll have auditions, UCAS conservatoire and portfolio to consider as well.

ECA open day on Monday is the first for us, missing the first day of S6 and quietly hoping the induction morning is a repeat of last year and DD isn't missing any hugely important information.

We've decided not to do DJCAD S5/6 taster day on 10th as it would mean another long journey and two days off school so soon afterwards. Hoping there is another in the autumn.

Anyone in the know wanting to chip in with a brief summary of all things applying to university in Scotland would be most appreciated.

Hello, I have DD1 starting university this September and then DD2 doing sixth year and hoping to go in 2027.
Will need to get DD2 to sort out some open days!

Place marking. Think we will await results as DC isn't very focused on future plans. We live rurally so the number of open days we can realistically attend is limited, and annoyingly some seem to be on the same day as each other.

Hi @gracielooloo and @Meridas

We're rural too, so every open day is going to involve a long journey and an overnight stay.

We’re also fairly rural but not too far from Aberdeen and Dundee which are DD2’s top choices.
DD1 is off to Glasgow in September.

Highers finished here and S6 starts on Monday. We haven’t looked to open days properly and need to get doing so.
