Application Procedure?
Intake
The main intake offered by all Universities is September / October Few universities offer select programs for the Jan / Feb intake.
UK application process varies greatly between different levels of education and types of institution, so make sure you find out all the details for your chosen course.
First, ensure you meet the entry requirements - don't waste time applying for a course that you're not eligible for! These requirements will relate to your qualifications, your English language skills, and whether you will be able to secure a visa.
Give yourself enough time. Many English language courses and shorter further education courses have start dates throughout the year, but most other courses start in September or October, and the deadline for applications can be up to a year in advance.
