What to use this guide for

A shortlist is most useful when it balances your goals and the published course information you can verify. It should remain flexible as requirements, grades and preferences become clearer.

Tansiky UK labels are decision-support tools. They do not make an offer or replace a university’s assessment.

Frequently asked questions

How many UCAS choices can I make?

Most applicants can make up to five choices, with separate restrictions for some Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary applications.

Should every course have the same match label?

A balanced list normally benefits from comparison across different levels of fit and course priorities.
