How UCAS actually works
Five choices. 25,399 courses. One application.
Telar is Spanish for a loom. Weaving data is what Telariq does best.
Choosing a course at a UK university meant making sense of information that was spread across 50,000 sources, relying on your gut, or trusting the word of others. That changes now.
Telariq brings everything you need to make the best decision for you, in a single application. But don't take our word for it. Test it out, experience the difference, and change the way you approach applying to a UK uni.
Runs in your browser, on a laptop or a phone. Nothing to install. Or start with one of our 29 guides.

No family could read it all. We did.

Telariq is an app your family uses together, in the browser on a laptop or a phone. Tell it your grades, your budget and what matters to you. It does the rest.

1 of 5
More than 25,000 undergraduate courses at 148 universities, in one list. Filter by subject, length and format, and see them in the order of what matters to you.

2 of 5
Not the annual fee: the fee across the course's real length, every extra the university charges, and the living costs you must show, added up for you.

3 of 5
What each university asks of your qualification, and how your grades compare with the students each course has admitted.

4 of 5
The scholarships open to your nationality and your course, and the lenders and government schemes that fund a UK degree from your country.

5 of 5
What graduates of each course were earning three years and five years after they finished.

Bailey, Canada
Telariq lists every film course in ranking order. Edinburgh is first: fourth in the UK for her subject area.
On screen: 139 film and television courses sorted by ranking. The University of Edinburgh is first, 4th in the UK for arts and humanities; then Glasgow, 10th; York, 12th; Bristol, 16th.

Her grades meet Edinburgh's offer. But fewer than half of applications from overseas received one.
On screen: The University of Edinburgh's Film and Television course: it asks for ABB at A-level, her predicted AAB meets the offer, and 46.7% of applications from outside the UK and EU received an offer.

Glasgow is also top ten for her subject, and made offers to four in five. York is twelfth, at about half Edinburgh's total tuition.
On screen: Edinburgh, Glasgow and York side by side. Offer rates: 47%, 81% and 66%. Rankings: 4th, 10th and 12th in the UK. Total tuition: £155,600, £110,880 and £80,700.

Her predicted AAB meets the published offer at all seven courses on her list.
On screen: Bristol, Reading and Newcastle side by side: each offer for her qualification is marked You meet this. Offer rates: 68%, 77% and 70%.

One reach, three strong choices, and one where she stands strongest. Edinburgh stays on the list.

Rayan, Malaysia
QS ranks Loughborough first for sports-related subjects. That is where Rayan wants to study sport management.
On screen: The QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026 for sports-related subjects, UK top 10: Loughborough University is first.

Telariq flags it at once. Loughborough's fee is £31,500 a year; his budget is £30,000.
On screen: His shortlist at a glance: 5 of 5 UCAS choices used, and 1 of his 5 courses is above his £30,000 a year budget.

Four years, with a placement year in the sport industry included.
On screen: Sport Management BSc at Loughborough University: 4 years, placement year included, fee £31,500 a year for 2027/28.

A quarter off the first year for international undergraduates, and £3,000 a year for those who meet the academic conditions. With the second, the fee would fall to £28,500, inside his budget.
On screen: Scholarships at Loughborough University: International Excellence Scholarships, £3,000 per year; International Scholarship, 25% in the first year; Future Leaders Scholarship, £10,000 in the first year.

The banks, government schemes and sponsors in Malaysia that fund a UK degree, and what each one offers.
On screen: Sources of funding for Malaysian citizens: Affin Islamic Bank, Bank Negara Malaysia's Kijang scholarship and Maybank's education loan, with the amount each offers.

Loughborough stays on his list, beside four courses that cost less. Telariq lists every step from here.

LSE, UCL, King's College London, Bristol and SOAS. Nothing about her list stands out as a problem.
On screen: Her shortlist: 5 of 5 UCAS choices used. Under Where should I apply, it reads: nothing stands out about your list right now.

Her law courses ask for the LNAT, a separate admissions test.

King's College London: sit the LNAT on or before 31 December 2026.
On screen: Her to-dos for King's College London: Sit the LNAT, by 31 December 2026.

Three of her five choices need her LNAT sat by the end of December.
On screen: Her to-dos for LSE and for UCL: Sit the LNAT, by 31 December 2026, for each.

13 January 2027. Had she planned around that date alone, the LNAT date for three of her five would already have passed.
On screen: Her to-dos: Submit your UCAS application, by 13 January 2027, 18:00 UK time.

Every LNAT date sits on her list, course by course, in time to act on it. Bristol gives her until 13 January.

It puts everything about a UK undergraduate degree in one place: every course, what it costs across its real length, what each university asks of your qualification, the scholarships open to you, who will lend to a family in your country, the tests and deadlines, and what graduates go on to earn. Then it puts your grades, your budget and what matters to you against all of it.
A ranking gives you one number about a university. Many agents are paid commission by the universities they send students to. A university's website tells you about that university, and only what it chooses to publish. None of them can put your grades, your budget and your country against every course at once. Telariq does.
It shows you where you stand at each course, what the whole degree costs, and who will fund it. The choice stays with your family, and for the first time you can make it with everything in front of you.
No. Telariq runs in your browser, on a phone or a laptop. You sign in with the same account on both, and there's nothing to install.
Telariq launches on 26th October. Until then you can try it with three sample profiles, Bailey, Rayan and Myra, and read the guides. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it launches, with a code for 20% off.
The screens are Telariq's own and the course figures are real. Bailey, Rayan and Myra are sample profiles, not real applicants, so you can see how it works without entering anything about yourself.
Your grades. Your budget. Your country. Every course.
