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| Information in prospectuses and brochures you have may be out of date – courses often get full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!!! |
|
| What is living in the UK like? Campus life? Accommodation? Homestays? |
|
| Consortium UK can give you lots of help and information about living in the UK |
|
| FINALLY, it will probably cost you
more!!! |
|
| Consortium UK offer a completely FREE OF CHARGE
service!!! |
