The formation of circumstellar and circumbinary discs from accretion on to young binary stellar systems is investigated. When a protobinary system forms within a collapsing molecular cloud core, gas from the remainder of the cloud falls on to the system, and may form circumstellar discs and/or a circumbinary disc. We investigate how this disc formation depends on the mass ratio of the protobinary and the specific angular momentum of the infalling gas. We find that, in an unequal mass binary, the circumstellar discs may differ dramatically between the two components; in some cases a large circumstellar disc may be formed around the primary, while the secondary has no disc.
