APPLYING BY YOURSELF
|
USING Consortium UK
|
| Takes a long time to get information – you may
not be able to get everything you need – so, applying
by yourself wastes time. General enquiries are impersonal |
|
| Consortium UK has all the information you need immediately
– they will also be able to find extra information
more easily because of direct access to key university
personnel |
|
| No one to help you apply and give advice about which
places are best for you |
|
| Experienced, friendly and helpful staff at the Consortium
UK office can assist you |
|
| Information in prospectuses and brochures you have may
be out of date – courses often get full quickly |
|
| Consortium UK will have up-to-date information on courses,
course availability, new regulations, scholarships, etc. |
|
| Getting a visa – you will have to get a visa by
yourself without advice, which can be difficult. Visas
are sometimes refused |
|
| Consortium UK will help you fill in the visa application
form and they have good contacts at the British Embassy |
|
| Finding out if your application has been accepted often
takes a long time. You may have to wait many weeks or
months to find out. |
|
| Consortium UK can usually find out quickly if your application
has been accepted |
|
| Will I be accepted or not? You might think that you
have the necessary entry requirements when, in fact, you
do not. You may, therefore, waste a lot of time |
|
| Consortium UK can give you honest advice when you are
not sure if you have the necessary basic entry requirements
– you will not waste time |
|
| You will not have any help with preparing your personal
statements (statement of purpose, research proposal, references,
etc.) |
|
| Consortium UK will help you prepare and proof read your
personal statements – this will make acceptance
more likely than if you do them on your own |
|
| You will have to mail all your own letters to the University.
|
|
| Consortium UK will mail all your letters to the international
office |
|
| How much do you know about the UK? |
|
| UK staff at Consortium UK will be able to give you correct
information about all aspects of the UK |
|
| You will have to make all your own travel arrangements |
|
| With all their experience, Consortium UK can give you
good advice about travelling to the UK, getting through
immigration at the airport, travelling to where you are
going to study, interesting places to visit in the UK,
and much, much more. They can also make travel reservations
for you. However, don’t expect them to pay your
airfare for you!!! |
