2. College graduates, apply for the UK to study for a one-year college course;

3. College graduates, apply for a master's degree in the UK, including one year for pre-master's degree and one year for master's program.

If you are in the UK, you don't know much, but if you are in the United States, you can go to a community college in the United States first, and then transfer to an undergraduate college in the United States.

Community colleges in the United States are equivalent to domestic junior colleges, and unlike domestic junior colleges, they have a "2+2" transfer system. That is to say, after studying in a community college for 2 years, it is possible to transfer to a local undergraduate college in the United States and transfer to a top 50 undergraduate college in the United States. Continue to study in an undergraduate institution for 2 years, and obtain a graduation certificate issued by the undergraduate institution after graduation.

As a student who failed the college entrance examination and turned to a junior college, some want to study abroad for further study in order to improve their academic qualifications, so what are the ways to apply for a college to study in the UK? The following is the relevant content of studying in the UK that I have sorted out to stay abroad, let's take a look!

What are the ways to apply for studying in the UK?

top up

First of all, let's introduce what a TOP UP course is. This is a bridging course for junior college students or undergraduate students without a degree in the UK, which can be understood as a post-secondary education, and the duration of study is usually one year. Tertiary students can apply for the TOP UP course to complete the final year of undergraduate study in the UK, and after obtaining a UK undergraduate degree, they can continue their studies.

It should be noted that most of the top up courses are business majors, and few schools accept cross-major applications, and the schools that offer top up courses will be ranked relatively low. However, the advantage is that after obtaining an undergraduate degree, the application for a subsequent master's degree is not restricted by the institutions with pre-qualifications, and the range of schools that can be applied for has become larger.

Semester starts: January to September.

Admission requirements: average score of 70 or above.

IELTS Requirements: Master's degree.

Foundation + Master's

The length of the course is flexible. The length of the preparatory course is generally between six months and one year, and there are more majors that can be applied for than the top up courses.

The range of majors that can be applied for covers business, computer science, media, education, law, and engineering, and there are many colleges and universities that offer preparatory courses, including Glasgow, Durham, Sheffield, Nan'an, etc. Overall, there are far more schools offering pre-master's programmes than top-up programmes. Some majors accept interdisciplinary applications.

Semester starts: January to September.

Admission requirements: Depending on the requirements of the school, the preparatory courses offered by the top 100 colleges and universities usually need to have an average score of 75 or above.

IELTS requirements: above.

Bachelor's degree

Only more than three years of relevant professional work experience] This route is more restrictive for the student himself, and the applicant needs to have at least three years of relevant work experience in the applied major after graduation.

The advantage is that you do not need to go through the preparatory department, and you can directly apply for a master's degree.

The disadvantage is that institutions are more restricted, and some top-ranked institutions do not accept direct applications.

Finally, if the current plan requires an undergraduate degree certificate, or emphasizes the consistency of academic qualifications, students can consider top-up courses, and then continue their studies according to the results achieved in top-up; If you consider the cost performance, have confidence in your academic ability and pursue a one-step connection to a prestigious school, you can consider the pre-master's course, choose your favorite college level and major to match, and the specific plan needs to be comprehensively analyzed.

Tertiary students can go to the UK for graduate school. Tertiary students who want to go to the UK for graduate studies can apply directly for a postgraduate degree program; It is also possible to complete the Pre-Masters Programme and then progress to a Master's degree. In addition, if students have a requirement for a bachelor's degree, they can also apply for a master's program after obtaining an undergraduate degree from a UK university.

1. Apply directly to graduate degree programs.

Although it is common for applicants to have a bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline for master's degrees in UK universities, the requirements will be lowered appropriately for applicants with extensive professional experience. Therefore, if tertiary students want to apply directly for a master's degree in the UK, the requirements are relatively high, not only to have rich professional experience, but also to meet the language scores required by the degree program.

2. Study in the Pre-Masters Programme.

Domestic college diplomas have the opportunity to apply directly to study in the UK for master's degrees, but they usually have high requirements for average scores, so it is also very good to choose to apply for pre-master's courses. The pre-master's programme to the completion of a master's degree programme is generally two years at most, and it only takes a relatively short time to obtain a master's degree, but this also means that there is no intermediate degree (undergraduate degree). Prestigious universities in the UK that offer pre-master's courses include the University of Glasgow, Durham University, the University of Sheffield, the University of Liverpool, and the University of Newcastle.

3. Obtain a bachelor's degree first.

There are two main ways for domestic college students to obtain an undergraduate degree: one is to study undergraduate foundation + undergraduate program, and the other is to insert a British undergraduate.

The Undergraduate Foundation Year + Undergraduate Program is suitable for students who are weak in English and professional learning and want to study in a prestigious university; The disadvantage is that it takes a long time, generally taking 4 years to complete the undergraduate program (1 year preparatory + 3 years of bachelor's degree).

The majors that can be articulated into a UK undergraduate are relatively limited, and the requirements for applicants are higher, which is more suitable for graduates with a three-year college degree. Domestic college graduates can choose the UK's top-up course (the last year of intercalation), and only one year can obtain an undergraduate degree; However, this method has relatively high requirements for applicants' English and professional scores.

You can use the study abroad volunteer reference system for what level of university you can apply to at your own level.

How to use: Enter your GPA, language scores, professional name, college background (211 985 double non) and other information into the system, and the system will automatically match the cases of classmates with similar grades to you, you can see if there is a suitable study abroad case for you according to your own conditions, and find out which colleges and universities they have gone to as a reference for you to choose a college.
