gollark: You could look at the UCAS website. It's the application system for basically all UK university stuff and there's some info there.
gollark: Oh. Hmm. You probably do need to know that.
gollark: No advice on subject choice since I'm bad at making decisions (I only have to apply *next* year personally so I can put it off).
gollark: It may not be exactly 9% actually but around that sort of figure.
gollark: You do apparently need to apply quite soon, though, unless you wait until next year or something.
