gollark: January THIS year? That seems wrong. It's the same calendar year as when you do A levels I'm pretty sure.
gollark: Hmm, so the application deadline is January but your school might require stuff earlier.
gollark: There are online ones.
gollark: Open days? Yes. Except not now because COVID-19.
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.
