The latest information on how to study in the UK

The application time for studying in the UK that we often refer to refers to the time when the applicant submits the application materials to the UK university, and the UK university generally opens the application channel in July, August, September, October and November each year, and will not end the application until the quota is full.

However, according to the application process for studying in the UK, this is actually a constrained relationship with the application time, whether the study abroad is successful or not, not only depends on the successful application and getting the offer, but also many other steps, such as whether the offer school matches the student's own ability, whether the visa is passed, whether the air ticket is bought, whether the entry and exit, customs are successfully passed, etc.

UK universities generally have two entry periods, the vast majority of universities start in the autumn, and a very small number of universities also have a chance to enter in the spring.

The application is a cycle every year, generally in September and October of each year, British universities will open the application channel one after another, each school has a different time, at the same time, most schools now apply directly online, so there is no so-called application open time.

However, the application is a big concept, and it is not only as simple as submitting the application materials, but also a lot of work to ensure that the application is valid and correct before and after the application.

You can first make a simple positioning, look at what schools and majors others are applying for with students who are in a similar situation to you, and compare and choose the one that suits you.

If you want to know what universities you can apply to with your GPA, IELTS, TOEFL, GMAT, GRE and other scores, you can enter your own information into the study abroad volunteer reference system, and the system will automatically match the cases of students who are similar to you from the database, and see which universities and majors they have successfully applied for, so that you can see what level of colleges and majors you can apply for at your current level, and accurately position yourself.

The steps to apply to study abroad in the UK are as follows:

1. Rational evaluation and planning: Children who intend to study in the UK should first conduct a comprehensive assessment of their academic qualifications, interests, funds, age, work experience, ability, qualifications, etc., and make rational and detailed plans for their future careers, study abroad goals and study plans.

2. Choose a major and school: Next, you can choose a school and major that is suitable for your level of study according to the results of evaluation and planning, and collect the admission requirements and curriculum of these institutions.

3. Language training: take the corresponding examination according to the admission conditions of the selected school to obtain the qualification or scholarship for studying abroad.

4. Submit an application to the school: The application form can be obtained directly on the website of each embassy or at the embassy for free, or it can be obtained from the school by letter, email, fax, etc., or by e-mail to some study abroad.

5. Prepare application materials, including relevant supporting materials with valid seals in addition to the application form.

6. Receive the admission notice from the school: The school will decide whether to admit you after a comprehensive investigation of your academic qualifications, age, experience and other conditions. Upon admission, you will be sent a document such as an acceptance letter or a notice of reservation for a place.

If you enrol in a language course, you will receive a letter of acceptance for a language course or language school at the same time.

8. Apply for a student visa: Prepare visa materials according to the requirements of the UK Visa Application Center. All visa documents should be filled in truthfully, clean and tidy, and then sent by express mail at one time as required.

UK postgraduate application process: UK master's applications are generally prepared one year in advance, so starting from the month of the previous year, it is the first time to apply, because the admission principle of British universities is first-come, first-served, so many students are scrambling to be able to submit the first batch of applications. Therefore, in a limited time, students who plan to study abroad need to do time calculations from back to front, and arranging time is the key to success!

Language requirements: British schools still attach great importance to IELTS, if you want to take a good test, such as G5, the University of Manchester, Warwick and other famous schools, the IELTS score must reach at least a score of more than 100, which is the minimum requirement for applying to a British university, and some majors require a score of 7 or more.

Academic requirements: British famous schools pay more attention to the background and ranking of domestic undergraduate colleges, the undergraduate professional background is the best school, the university GPA if the average score of students from double non-university institutions should reach 85-90 points, and students with 211 college background should basically have 80-85 points, such as G5 and KCL, although there is no clear requirement to recruit only 211 students, but the average score of applicants from double non-university institutions is 90+.

Therefore, we have to sound the alarm bell, one is the results in the university, and the other is that the IELTS test must have its own time planning and arrangement. Nowadays, I basically start to apply in the second semester of my junior year, so I don't need to worry about my graduation certificate and degree certificate, I just need to have a letter of recommendation, proof of enrollment and transcripts ready when submitting my application. These materials are determined by the school, generally the school is facing the holiday in June, it is best to prepare the recommendation letter before the holiday, so as not to find the school teacher when the materials are needed during the holiday.

Other paperwork should also be double-checked to ensure that everything is ready.

Voluntary reference system for choosing a school to study in the UK.

You can input your GPA, IELTS score, professional name, college background (211 985 double non and other information into the study abroad volunteer reference system, and the system will automatically match the cases of classmates in a similar situation to you from the database, and see which universities in the UK they have successfully applied to, so that you can accurately locate yourself.

At this stage of preparing to study abroad, it is necessary to start to formulate an application plan for studying abroad, learn about the application information of each institution through the official website of each university in the UK or other channels, determine the preliminary school selection plan, and ask the institution for relevant application materials by email. In short, you need to have a clear understanding of everything you need to apply and have a plan in place to prepare and improve accordingly.

Studying in the UK. In addition to students who have a very good level of English, students must start to devote a lot of time to prepare for language exams during the winter vacation. Before preparing for a language test, take the time to find out what language scores are required of the institution and program you intend to apply to.
