Applying to British Universities

By: Kiley X. Berriman

The complete process from decision to study at university, selecting Britain as the place of study and applying to universities is a major undertaking. By breaking down the process into smaller increments, the whole process can be made manageable.

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.

Provided that the pupil has settled on continuing with his or her education, he or she will now need to determine what course to pursue. A helpful way of focussing is to think about the answers to a set of basic questions:

* What do I want to study?

* Am I capable of doing well in that subject?

* What are the advantages of my study?

Because the British government has recently decided that universities should be more independent, the latter have started charging students fees to cover their costs. Thus, an important question the prospective student should pose is:

* Can I (or my parents) afford it?

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.

Because there are preparatory resources available, one would do well to find and acquaint oneself with them. Aspects of the application process, for instance, are specific to British universities.

For some people, where a university stands in the university league tables or how high the university ranks, is an important point to consider. For me, there are other more important considerations. Some thought about whether or not to apply to Oxbridge (as Oxford and Cambridge are known) should be given.

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).

For pupils coming from countries which do not have English as the main language, most universities also require passing the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) tests. The British Council is responsible for these tests overseas.

Because undergraduate university application is a centralised online process handled by UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service), that is the first place any prospective student should look at to start the process of applying to British universities.
