Steps to Be Taken to Become a UK University Student.
Step 1. GCSE.
The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE)is an academic qualification awarded in a specified subject, generally taken in a number of subjects by students aged 14-16 in secondary education in the UK and is equivalent to a Level 2 (A* - C) and Level 1 (D – G) in Key Skills.
Education to GCSE level is often required of students who study for the International Baccalaureate or to GCE Advanced Level (A-level). GCSE exams were introduced as the compulsory school-leavers’ examination in the late 1980s (the first exams being taken in the summer of 1988) by the Conservative Party Government, replacing the Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE) and GCE Ordinary Level (O-Level) examinations.
In secondary schools, GCSE courses are taken in a variety of subjects, which are usually decided by students themselves in Year 9 (age 13-14). Typically, the study of chosen subjects begins at the start of Year 10 (age 14-15). At the end of the two-year GCSE course, candidates receive a grade for each subject that they have sat. The pass grades, from highest to lowest, are: A* (pronounced “A-star”), A, B, C, D, E, F, G and U.
GCSE are part of the National Qualification Framework. A GCSE at grades D - G is a Level 1 qualification, while a GCSE at grades A* - C is a Level 2 qualification. As one would expect, GCSEs at A* - C (Level 2) are much more desirable and insisted on by many employers and educational institutions.
Those who fail a course are given a U (unclassified) and the subject is not included on their certificates.
Step 2. GCE Advanced Level.
The Advanced LevelGeneral Certificate of Education (GCE Advanced level) is commonly referred to as A-level. A-levels are part of the Further Education process in the United Kingdom. A-levels can be studied by students in Years 12 and 13 in a Sixth Form institution as part of secondary school or in Colleges – this is normally done as a direct continuation of a secondary education process and hence most students study for the qualification from ages 16 to 18. Students require at least 5 A* - C GCSE Grades, including English and Mathematics to meet the pre-requisite to start A-levels.

A-levels are studied over a two-year period and are recognized as the standard for assessing the suitability of applicants for academic courses in most British universities.
A-level consists of four (or six for natural sciences) modules studied over two years. Normally, two modules are assessed in the first year, and make up a qualification called the “AS-level” (Advanced Subsidiary Level). Another two modules are assessed at the end of the second year, which make up the “A2”. The satisfactory completion of the AS and A2 modules in the same subject is required to constitute a complete A-level. Modules are assessed by exam papers marked by national organizations and internally assessed coursework.
Step 3. UCAS.
The University and College Admission Service (UCAS)is the British admission service for students applying to university and college.
As nearly all British higher education institutions are members of UCAS, all those wishing to study for undergraduate degrees in UK must apply through UCAS. Applicants submit a single application via UCAS’s website with a list of up to five courses for which they are applying. Choices are not listed in preference order. All five choices are confidential during the application process so universities considering an application cannot see any of the candidate’s other choices. Applications must be completed by the middle of the January of the year that the student wishes to start university.
Those applying for medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses can only make up to four choices. The deadline for these courses is October 15 in the year before starting.
UCAS has a tariff system (more commonly known as UCAS points), which allows qualifications to be converted into points (e.g. A at A-level is worth 120 points) and then added together to give a total that can be used as a requirement to get into a course (a course may require 260 points, for example).
