Limit the number of applications. Some British universities limit the number of students applying, generally controlled in two majors. UCL introduced a new current policy in 2022. In all application seasons, a student can only choose two master's majors to submit applications, and the same technical major cannot be applied for multiple times. LSE can submit two majors at the same time, without any restrictions on career direction, but volunteering is "non-parallel", which is actually divided into the first choice and the second choice. If the first volunteer is admitted, the second volunteer will not try again. If the first volunteer is rejected, the second volunteer is automatically tried. If both volunteers are rejected, you can apply for a major. Imperial Business School is special. If the first choice is one of the financial directions, the second choice needs to be selected from other financial majors. If the first choice is not a bank, you can only choose one technical major.
Will applying for several technical majors also increase the probability of successful application? Although many colleges and universities can apply for several technical majors without restriction, it is not recommended to apply for too many technical majors. The key reasons are as follows: applying for several technical majors means that when you start to apply for materials and official documents, you have to make more preparations in advance for different career directions, which requires more time and energy, and it is difficult to do both. Many applicants who apply for multi-technical majors generally have high academic qualifications or work background, but they do not match other majors, and it is even difficult to prepare official documents in advance.
The market competition for applications from top universities in Britain is very fierce, and the number of places available for admission is very limited. Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to enroll two majors at the same time, which will inevitably cause unfairness to other applicants. In addition, British institutions will grasp the applicant's career development goals during the trial, and submit two different and more professional applications at the same time, which may make the institutions think that you have no clear overall plan for the future. If your environment is not amazing enough, it will make the admissions officer have a certain negative impression.
Accept the application and go to a professional college, but you have to pay the application fee twice. If two technical majors have been admitted, only one major will be admitted, and the employment of the other more professional will be revoked immediately; Colleges and universities can't let students apply for two majors. If you submit two majors, the college will also send you an email, asking you to choose one you like for the preliminary examination, and the other application will be invalid.
Generally speaking, when designing an application for studying abroad, the more technical majors you apply for, the better. Instead, we should fully consider our own environmental standards, future career master plan and school admission requirements, choose technical majors that suit us, and give full play to our own advantages, so as to occupy a place in the fierce application market and obtain an idealized offer.
