How to apply for foreign universities after graduation from SQA HND?
Sqa hnd is a Scottish Higher National Diploma (hnd) issued by Scottish Academic Accreditation Agency (Sqa). The diploma is recommended by the British Council and introduced by the Chinese and British governments.

Students with our diploma can apply for foreign universities by themselves according to the following procedures:

Materials required for American graduate application

1, language score TOEFL or IELTS

American graduate applications require TOEFL scores. For those students who have already taken IELTS, some schools in the United States also accept IELTS.

2、GRE /GMAT

If you apply for business majors, such as MBA, finance, accounting, marketing, human resources, hotel management and other majors, we need to take the GMAT exam. In addition, other majors need GRE scores. Please arrange the exam according to the major you want to apply for. Individual schools can use GRE instead of GMAT.

3. University transcript/diploma degree certificate

In this part, Huatong Study Abroad reminds everyone that American universities require official transcripts. The requirement here is to seal the report card in the envelope of the school and then seal it.

4. Documentation

Proof materials include resume, recommendation letter and personal statement. In addition, students who apply for business majors also need to provide essay, which can be understood as the proposition composition of the school. The number of essays varies from school to school, generally 2-4. When we can't go to the United States in person, paperwork is our only chance to show ourselves to the admission Committee.

5. Financial certification materials

The financial proof materials include the deposit certificate issued by the bank and the financial proof form of the school.

Economic proof means that you have enough funds to pay for studying abroad.

6. Online application form

Currently, American universities apply online. We can find the address of online application on the school website and fill in the relevant information item by item. Here's a hint. Some universities not only set up graduate application systems, but also different departments will have their own independent online application systems, such as medical schools and business schools. If you don't find the major you want to apply for in the process of filling out the online application form, you probably haven't entered the correct online application system.

procedure

1, choose a school.

Graduate students should not only refer to the comprehensive ranking, but also refer to the professional ranking of graduate students. The comprehensive ranking reflects the overall strength of undergraduate education, not the strength of a certain major. For example, in the field of electronic and electrical engineering, UIUC of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ranks very high in the professional rankings, and there are many authoritative professors in academic fields, so it is very difficult to apply. If you choose a school according to the professional ranking, you are likely to miss this famous science and engineering school. At the same time, it is suggested that business students should pay special attention to the surrounding environment, especially the business environment, when choosing a school. For example, in an international metropolis like Chicago, new york, we can greatly enrich our experience and learn a lot of business knowledge. Of course, executives from many big companies around you will also appear in your class and become your teachers. This advantage is not enjoyed by schools in other small cities. Huatong study abroad has many years of experience in applying for studying abroad, which can help you apply and save you the trouble of studying abroad.

2. Write documents and materials according to the requirements of the school.

The school hopes to see the characteristics of the applicant from these documents. Therefore, when writing, you must not copy the template and bury your own specialties. Some liberal arts majors will require writing samples when applying, which are mainly used to test the professional quality of the applicants. Many students will mention in their application materials that "XX School enjoys a reputation for many years, has trained countless outstanding students, has a strong faculty and is very famous in the field of XX". This language can be used in every school's documents, which will make the school feel that you used the template and didn't write the documents carefully, which will give the school a very bad impression.

3. Send materials.

The materials to be sent are TG transcripts, university transcripts, and the above-mentioned economic certificates. The school will have a detailed introduction in the admission requirements, about the mailing address and the list of materials to be sent. It should be noted that TG transcripts need to be sent from the test center to American universities. The delivery process of TOEFL usually takes about three weeks, and GRE GMAT takes about seven to ten days.

4. Wait for the interview notice.

Some American universities will send an interview notice to applicants before admission, and communicate with them by phone or video. If there is an interview, the school will generally inform the applicant in advance. At this time, students should seize the opportunity.

5. Visa link.

The materials required to apply for a visa can refer to the requirements of the US Embassy. It should be noted that the visa appointment time should be as early as possible to ensure that there is enough time to prepare the visa. If you are not sure about the visa, we can ask Huatong to study abroad to help us. We have rich experience and don't have to worry about visas. After the visa, we can prepare to go to America.
