Schools Applying for English Universities

AI Thread Summary
Applying to universities in England can be challenging for Swedish students due to unclear information and differing deadlines. The UCAS system is essential for applications, allowing students to apply to up to six universities and courses simultaneously. It's crucial to contact universities directly for specific deadlines and application forms, as relying solely on school guidance may not provide adequate information. Many students find university websites confusing, leading to missed opportunities. For international students, resources like the UCAS website offer valuable guidance on the application process and requirements.

Hello!
Right now I am thinking of applying to a university in England, but it is really difficult to obtain any information about how to apply here in Sweden. I have checked out Cambridges website, but it really doesn't make much sense their either. Because of the lack of information, I missed the deadline for applying this year, so I will probably study pure math for a year in Sweden and then start a full program in physics, hopefully in England. So does anyone have any tips on where I should start, ie what information I should have, who I should contact etc.?
Any help would be appreciated!

Did you write to any of the Universities asking for deadlines, application forms, etc.?
 
No i didnt, so I guess I have myself to blame, but since the deadlines for Swedish Universities are much later, I just didnt think of that in time. I kind of assumed that my school would give at least some information on these kinds of important things long time before the deadlines.
I think the websites are just a mess, they feel like a labyrinth and I can't really find any usable information, so well emailing them is probably the only choice I have left.
 
Admission to UK universities occurs through a system called UCAS. This is basically a system that collates your data gives you options over which universities you want to apply for, the maximum being six, and the courses you want to take. UCAS then forwards your details to the universities who then decide whether to give you offers. More information about studying in the UK for international students can be found here..

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
