What do students who have just received an offer from a UK university need to pay attention to?

1. Reply to the school.

I believe that many friends apply to more than one school, so when you receive offers from multiple schools, you should carefully consider which school to go to. Generally, the school will provide a link to reply to the school's offer and a deadline for replying, as long as you enter the link to accept or reject the offer within the specified period. If accepted, the school will generally ask for a fee, i.e., a placeholder fee; If you refuse, just click Decline.

2. Apply for a visa.

Once you've decided on the school you want to go to, it's time to prepare for your visa. Because the refusal of a visa has a great impact on studying abroad, everyone must do it at one time, prepare good materials and do a good job of fairness, and of course leave a good time for the deposit.

Of course, be sure to prepare the required documents before making an appointment. After the interview with the visa officer, you can wait for the result, and if the visa is successfully passed, your passport will usually be retrieved within 7 to 10 working days; If it is checked, it is generally 30-60 days to wait; In the unfortunate event of a rejection, it is best to figure out the reason for the rejection and then apply for another visa.

3. Dormitory application.

Of course, the premise of applying for a dormitory is that the school provides on-campus dormitories. Dormitories in UK schools are generally tight, and the principle is first-served, first-served. The dormitory application fee, deposit amount, and payment method vary from school to school.

In addition, the cost of on-campus housing is generally more expensive than off-campus renting, so it is recommended that graduate students live off-campus.

4. Air ticket reservation.

Arrival airports and flight times are booked according to the information in the school's follow-up profile. It is recommended that students book early, and the air ticket is booked early, which is generally cheaper. However, the school generally only arranges pick-up 1-2 days before the start of school, and the dormitory is open at the same time.

If your flight is too early, you may not be able to pick you up or stay in the dormitory, so please make sure to make a reservation according to the school's requirements. The time of booking air tickets should refer to the following important time nodes: visa time, airport pick-up time, dormitory opening time and opening ceremony time.

5. Pick-up arrangement.

Some schools provide pick-up service for new students, but there is a designated airport, it is important to note that the airport has **generally 3 numbers**, and the pick-up location is generally easy to find, such as the exit or baggage claim. Pick-up will generally have a fixed pick-up time, so the arrival airport and flight time must be in accordance with the school's regulations. For those schools that do not offer airport pick-up service, such schools are generally close to the airport, and students can take a taxi directly to the school or contact the school's Chinese department in advance for assistance.

Or some religious organizations will help or even provide accommodation.

6. Physical examination. The physical examination requires the student to go to the entry-exit inspection and quarantine center for physical examination, reminding everyone: it must be the entry-exit inspection and quarantine center is not an ordinary physical examination and hospital.

If the school has a special physical examination**, please bring it with you and do the physical examination according to the requirements of the school; If the school does not have a special physical examination**, please go to the Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Center for a routine physical examination.

On average, it is normal to wait 2-3 months for admission results, so don't be anxious and just wait with peace of mind.

Of course, under normal circumstances, in the same round of applications, students who submit information early will usually be reviewed first. It is recommended that you apply as early as possible and submit your information as early as possible, after all, UK universities have multiple rounds of applications, and the number of places is limited, and it is on a first-come, first-served basis.

With more and more applicants for UK master's degrees now available, the number of documents that many universities' admissions teams have to deal with is much higher, so the processing time has definitely increased accordingly.

Moreover, the cycle is uncertain, and different schools give different times for results, and there is no absolute time guarantee for this. It also depends on the university and major, as well as the individual's background. Many university websites have a timetable for sending out offers, and some write them for 3 to 6 weeks. But none of them are absolute.

Introduce. The IELTS requirements for the UK Pre-Masters are generally above the score, and the individual scores must be above the score, if the score is lower, the school will add a period of language courses according to the student's actual English level, and then enter the pre-master's stage of study. If you have an IELTS score below you, you are not eligible to apply for the Pre-Masters and you will not even have the opportunity to study a language course.

Of course, if you have a high IELTS score, the schools you can apply to will be better, and the success rate of your application will be greater. In addition, the level of IELTS score also directly affects the length of the course, for example, the IELTS requirement for the Pre-Master's Program at King's College London is a score.

If you have IELTS, you need to study a one-year Pre-Masters course, and if you have IELTS, you can study a half-year Pre-Masters course.

The acceptance letter from the university will clearly indicate the steps to accept the offer. There are usually only two things that need to be done:

1 Fill in the acceptance form and sign it.

2 Payment of the first tuition advance payment (payment method can be chosen: international wire transfer, money order or credit card).

The offer period of each school is different, and the amount of the deposit is also different.

The general requirement for an offer from the University of Glasgow (GLASGOW) is to respond to the school within 4 weeks after receipt;

The University of Manchester (Manchester) is generally 1-2 months, and in terms of application time, sometimes the deadline of half a month, you must read carefully when you get an offer.

The University of Southampton usually responds to the school within 60 days for confirmation;

Pay the deposit information.

Durham University requires a deposit of £2,000 to accept offers

The University of Manchester requires a deposit of £600 to accept an offer

Lancester University accepts offers with a deposit of £700

3. Finally, submit the acceptance form to the school together with the prepayment voucher in exchange for the CAS statementThe degree can then be confirmed and the student visa application can begin.
