Applying for the university might be stressful and time-consuming. That is why it is important that you follow the step-by-step checklist to prepare you to commence your university education in the UK. Regardless of which university or universities you would like to apply to, below we provide the checklist of tasks which you should follow:
1. Consider your module course options
Find out what modules offer. Each university differs in what they are offering to students in terms of their modules, so it is important to familiarise yourself with module structure, credits, and length of module. Some of the courses, such as English law, might have some compulsory modules across all universities.
2. Check that you meet the entry requirements
Find out about the academic and undergraduate or postgraduate English language requirements at various universities.
3. Choose when you would like to study
The academic year is normally split into two semesters:
Semester 1: Most of the UK universities will start teaching in September (for example, for this upcoming academic year, it would be around the 3rd week of September 2024)
Semester 2: Most of the UK universities will start teaching in January or February
Before you submit your application, please check the dates you wish to study with the university in your chosen department.
Postgraduate research students can normally apply to UK universities throughout the year. When submitting your application, please select the date you wish to start. Your department will confirm this at the point of making an offer.
4. Get your supporting documents ready
You normally must provide the following supporting documents along with your application:
Academic transcript from your home university (original documents and official translated copies if not in English)
English language certificate (if applicable)
Name and email address of a referee or a letter of recommendation from your home university (for postgraduate research students only)
Some departments at certain universities may ask you to submit additional supporting materials with your application. It is important to submit all supporting documents with your application. The universities cannot consider your application until it has been received.
5. Visa requirements
If you are an international student you most likely will need to apply for a visa in order to study at UK univerities. Our trusted partners can assist you with applying for your student visa.
