First, the UK undergraduate application channels
Apply for the college entrance examination results of British universities
Because ordinary high school students mainly take part in the national college entrance examination, and since 20 19, some universities in Britain have begun to recognize the results of the national college entrance examination!
Students from ordinary senior high schools in China can directly apply for admission to undergraduate courses in the UK based on their college entrance examination results. At present, 32 British universities have recognized the results of the national college entrance examination.
Apply for matriculation courses in British universities
This preparatory course is designed to make up for the one-year gap between Chinese and English education systems.
Preparatory courses, that is, basic courses or bridge courses, belong to pre-university education, and generally require overseas high school graduates to study for about one year to adapt to foreign learning methods.
Apply for the British international freshman.
International freshmen are diploma courses. Some universities in Britain offer freshman diploma courses for senior three graduates, which are called international first-year or undergraduate diplomas. China students can go to school directly after graduating from high school, which is equivalent to freshmen in Britain.
Diploma course VS undergraduate preparatory course, the difference: after completion, the score can meet the requirements of sophomore year, which can save one year's time and expenses.
Students can apply with three-year high school transcripts, but relatively few institutions offer freshman diploma courses.
Institutions offering international freshman courses include Sussex University, Essex University, Lincoln University, Swansea University and Kiel University.
After studying in China, I applied for the British undergraduate course again and again.
Application requirements
Domestic undergraduate study transcripts; Between IELTS 5.5 and 6.5, different schools have different requirements.
Apply for international high school course scores.
British universities accept a wide range of high school diplomas, including Alevel, IB, AP and other international courses.
Generally speaking, domestic students apply for British undergraduate courses by studying A-Level first, and then applying with A-Level scores. If you don't study A-Level, you usually need to study for one year before you can transfer to an undergraduate course.
Generally, undergraduate applications in the UK need to go through the UCAS system. Applicants must first register an account and fill in information (including personal information, education, financial information, PS, etc. ).) → Complete the application through the website.
A few universities allow international students to apply directly, but most universities only accept applications submitted through UCAS.
Second, the UK undergraduate application materials
Personal details personal basic information.
Additional information Financial information that local students in the UK need to fill in (to prove their ability to pay tuition fees).
I chose to fill in five college volunteers.
Educational background (generally, you need to fill in the school, grades (such AS GCSE grades), courses you are studying (A-Level subjects, AS grades/estimated grades) and IELTS scores).
Employment/internship experience.
Letter of recommendation from the referrer's teacher (if the application is passed by the school, the school teacher will automatically fill in or upload a written letter of recommendation. If you apply by yourself or through an intermediary, you need to fill in the information of the referee, and UCAS will contact the referee directly to ask for relevant information).
Personal statement -4000 letters or 47 lines (about 500 words), including spaces and blank lines, to prevent plagiarism, grammatical errors and quoting from any university. About 75% of the content should be academic.
