Procedures for applying for studying abroad
1, query school information
You can inquire about school information by writing letters, surfing the Internet and other channels.
2. Submit a written application
Write to the school of your choice and ask for enrollment brochures, application forms, scholarship applications and other admission materials. Applicants should generally contact the school of their choice 10 months before the start of school, so that the university has enough time to process the application for admission and carefully study all kinds of supporting documents.
Step 3 fill in the application form
Before filling out the application form, it is best to make a copy for practice, and then fill out the formal application form after filling it out correctly. Read the instructions carefully before filling in, so as not to miss some important contents. Fill in the application form neatly and clearly, and try to answer every question completely.
Step 4 provide test scores
Applicants from English-speaking countries need IELTS or TOEFL scores; Countries applying for minority languages (except Russian) must first carry out minority language training in China to reach the basic level. Some countries also have special examinations. For example, graduate students of science and engineering in the United States must take the GRE, and graduate students of business and management in GMAT must take the GRE.
Step 5 provide university transcripts
University transcripts must be attached when applying for graduate students. High school transcripts must be attached when applying for undergraduate courses, and college transcripts must be attached when applying for graduate students, in both Chinese and English. To apply for undergraduate courses, you must attach high school transcripts, in addition to Chinese and English transcripts, there must be proof of grades. The report card should have the course name, credits, grades and class ranking.
6. Copy of academic degree and notarial certificate.
Generally, Chinese and English copies of graduation certificate, degree certificate and notarial certificate should be provided for studying abroad.
Step 7 prepare a letter of recommendation
Most schools require applicants to provide 2-3 letters of recommendation. The recommendation letter shall explain the basic information and achievements of the recommended person, including academic papers, scientific research achievements, awards, abilities, etc. A strong recommendation letter is of great help in applying for admission, so you should find someone who knows your strengths and advantages. The referee must have a senior title. Good referees include professors, department heads, professional tutors, colleagues and bosses who know the applicant very well at work.
8. Write a personal statement
Personal statements are especially important for getting scholarships.
9. Proof of economic guarantee
Relevant bank deposit certificates or financial aid certificates of relatives and friends. This certificate is not required if the school offers a full scholarship. If there are relatives and friends to guarantee, the guarantor should fill in the relevant forms (such as I- 134 in the United States) and attach relevant certificates.
10, physical examination form or health certificate
General schools require applicants to provide experience forms. This form is provided by the school, and the applicant is required to find a doctor to fill in and sign it. Some should attach vaccination records. Some schools do not need a physical examination form, but require a health certificate.
1 1, accommodation application form
Some universities stipulate that all freshmen live on campus, while others are free to choose. If you plan to live on campus, you should apply as soon as possible. Some schools require a deposit in advance to ensure that dormitory rooms are reserved.
12, formal application
Submit all application materials together with the application fee to the selected school.
13, admission
If the application for admission is approved, the applicant will receive an admission notice from the school and a visa from the school to apply for admission, such as the IM2A application form in the UK, the 157W application form in Australia, the I-20 form (non-immigrant identity certificate for international students) and the IAP-66 form (exchange of visiting scholars) in the United States.
After admission, apply for a passport and visa:
A: Passport processing is relatively simple. Please prepare your household registration book, photo and ID card until the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Public Security Bureau. For specific requirements, you can check the requirements of the local public security department online.
B, besides school admission, visa is another decisive factor. Visas are generally issued by embassies and consulates of various countries. The materials and requirements for applying for a visa can be found online. However, visa application is not as simple as passport. The production and application of materials are skillful, and refusal to sign is common.
Studying at one's own expense, from applying for a school to getting a visa, can be handled by an experienced study agent, and the success rate is relatively high.
