Applying To British Universities

By: Randy Cooper

The entire procedure, from choosing to study at university, selecting Britain as the country in which to study and applying to universities in Britain, is a significant challenge for many pupils. One helpful tactic here is to take each phase as a separate activity and to carry out the necessary actions to complete that phase.

Quite early in his or her school career, the pupil has to make a firm commitment with regards university study. Many pupils find this a difficult decision because they have yet to develop a sense of what they want to do in the future and where their abilities lies. The Internet is an extremely valuable source of information. But "classical" sources such as books, older and more experienced mentors, school counsellors and even parents are not to be discounted.

Once the decision is made to go on to higher education, the next hurdle concerns what to specialize in. Three important questions to ask are:

* What are my interests?

* Am I capable of doing well in that subject?

* What are the benefits of doing that course?

In line with more financial independence and responsibility required by the government, most universities have started charging students fees. Not surprisingly, a very pertinent fourth question is:

* What is my (or my parents) financial situation?

Large parts of the world speak English and a great deal of research at the university level is done in English. Universities in Britain enjoy respect for their research facilities. These are two powerful arguments in favour of taking the first steps towards applying to British universities.

Preparatory resources are available and it would be advisable to find and make use of them. For example, there are particular aspects of the application process which are distinctive of universities in Britain.

Although I personally think other factors are far more important, you may want to consider a factor like university (or university league tables). You may want to think about whether you want to study at Oxford or Cambridge (or Oxbridge, as they are jointly called).

There are also preparatory resources specifically for law and medical studies in Britain. For instance, the UKCAT (UK Clinical Aptitude ) or BMAT (BioMedical Admissions Test) or the LNAT (National Admissions Test for Law), are requirements of many British universities (as well as many non-British ones).

Most universities require applicants from foreign countries to take the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) tests. The British Council overseas is the first place to check for information about these tests .

All undergraduate university applications are dealt with by UCAS (Universities and Colleges Service), which is a centralised online management system. For the prospective student considering applying to British universities, there is no better place to start than UCAS.
