How to successfully pass the application of British graduate students?

As we all know, if you want to apply for a master's degree in Britain, the application materials are essential, because they can not only prove the identity and qualifications of students, but also serve as documents for students to understand students. Therefore, students must prepare application materials before submitting their applications to avoid mistakes due to lack of time. Then, the question is, how to prepare for the British master's application, here are some things I bring to you. How can I successfully pass the application for studying in the UK? I hope I can help you.

First, the requirements for postgraduate materials

1. Transcripts and related materials

Transcript plays an important role in the application of British universities, and it is also a very key indicator for schools to judge whether applicants are suitable, so the requirements for transcripts are very high.

In addition to the formal report card, it should be clearly visible in both Chinese and English, with the seal of the school. The scores shown on the report card have a percentage system, ABCD binary system, or more complicated ones, such as passing or failing, excellent or poor, and so on. This will also cause some trouble for the school to judge the average score, so you may be asked to provide corresponding standards between different grades. For example, "excellent" corresponds to 4.5-5.0 out of 5, and 90 out of 100.

2. Learning certificates/diplomas and degree certificates

In this respect, it should be noted that when students get diplomas and degree certificates, they must remember to issue corresponding English documents, especially for those students who want to study language courses in the UK in advance.

3. Passport

If you have a past record in the UK, especially the record of studying in the UK or summer school, you must inform the school of this experience, and provide the visa page and the entry and exit stamp page at that time, so that the school can make a proper judgment on the students' previous experience in the UK.

4. IELTS preparation

Every university has different IELTS scores, and there are some differences between majors. In addition, I hope you will pay special attention to the IELTS types that need to be applied for studying in the UK, and you must distinguish clearly ~

How many types of IELTS are there?

Generally speaking, IELTS is divided according to the purpose of the exam. There are three choices, and each choice is divided into two types:

The first is the IELTS test (that is, what we usually call Pu Ya: General IELTS).

IELTS is an English proficiency test for those who intend to study or work in countries and regions where English is the language of communication. Two of them are class a and class g.

Class A (academic): suitable for studying abroad, applying for undergraduate, postgraduate or above education, or obtaining professional qualifications;

G (Training): English-speaking countries apply for immigration (such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Britain), or apply for training or non-diploma courses.

The second is the IELTS test for British immigrants and visas (also known as UVKI IELTS).

From 2065438+April 2005, the British Visa Immigration Office began to implement the new policy of visa safety English language examination. The IELTS test for British visas and immigrants is an exam organized by the British Visa and Immigration Bureau for specific types of British visa applications. Two of them are class a and class g.

Class a (academic? ): Applicable to: English intensive courses, preparatory courses, language courses and other courses below undergraduate level in all universities in the UK, and obtain professional qualifications. The IELTS test for British visas and immigrants can also be used for undergraduate, postgraduate and above degree study in British higher education institutions with "highly credible guarantor status" (only applicable when the institutions explicitly require applicants to provide British visas and IELTS scores for immigrants).

G (General Training): Applicable to: English-speaking countries applying for immigration, or applying for training and non-diploma courses. Training exams focus on basic language skills for survival in a wide range of social and educational environments, rather than language skills needed for academic research.

Iii. IELTS Life Skills Test.

The IELTS life skills class only tests candidates' oral English and listening level, and it is divided into two categories: CEFR (European * * * same frame of reference) A 1 and B 1. The examination aims to meet the requirements of the British Visa and Immigration Bureau for specific visa applications in the UK.

A 1 grade: British visa application for spouses and visiting relatives.

B 1 grade: suitable for British naturalization and permanent visa application.

The IELTS test (UKVI) for British visas and immigrants is different from the general IELTS test. If students go to Britain to study undergraduate, postgraduate or above courses in British higher education institutions that are not "highly trusted guarantors", or go to Britain to study preparatory courses and language classes, they must provide UKVI test scores. In fact, the IELTS score of UKVI (visa and immigration IELTS) is often indicated on the Offer with language conditions issued by the school to students.

Although UKVI? IELTS for visa immigrants is also divided into academic classes (Class A) and training classes (Class G), but the content, form, difficulty, examiners and grading standards of the exam are exactly the same as those of ordinary IELTS, but the test sites and fees are slightly different from those of ordinary IELTS.

Therefore, for students applying for studying in the UK, they need to choose UKVI (IELTS for Visa and Immigration) Class A. The simplest reason for choosing is that British institutions have high recognition. In case we don't get the IELTS score required by qualified courses, we can rely on UKVI. (IELTS for visa and immigration) Rank collocation language category.

5. Letter of recommendation and letter of recommendation

Regarding the recommendation letter, it is required to be printed on the school stationery, with the signature and date of the recommender. Note: If you are a student who postponed the application, please reprint it and ask the teacher to sign it when you apply again, because some schools will require that the recommendation letter be signed within six months. In addition, please be sure to provide the edu e-mail address of the referee, because providing other e-mail addresses such as QQ, Netease or Sina e-mail address is not recognized.

Regarding the selection of referees, students who have not graduated or just graduated must provide teachers from two schools as referees, and they must also be teachers who teach their own courses. Because most colleges and universities require two letters of academic recommendation when applying. For referees who have graduated for a long time, it is best to prepare three letters of recommendation, two academic letters and one letter of recommendation from the leader of the work unit. In this way, you can be prepared.

6. All kinds of award certificates

This is the icing on the cake in the application, generally referring to all kinds of award-winning certificates, scientific research project experience, volunteer certificates and so on. This is basically not mandatory.

7. Internship/work certificate

Work certificate will also play a great role in UK application, which is not suitable for most students who have no long-term work experience. Of course, if you want to prepare the work or internship certificate, you must make detailed preparations as required.

8. Preparation of additional materials

For example, GMAT, GRE, Essay, writing examples, etc. A collection of works proposed by G5 finance majors and required by architectural design majors, or some majors and schools are required to participate in interviews.

Second, the application matters needing attention

Two hard conditions.

First of all, students who directly apply for the British master's program need to have a bachelor's degree certificate, a degree certificate and an average score that meets the requirements of university admission. If the students are three-year or two-year university graduates, we need to study for a master's degree before studying for a master's degree in the UK. On the one hand, it is to make up for part of the corresponding undergraduate education, on the other hand, it is to improve students' English level and professional course level, on the other hand, it is also a process of students' adaptation and familiarity, including learning and living environment, different learning methods and skills and so on.

In addition to professional course scores, language scores are another hard condition and requirement. In the application process, the requirements of business, social science, literature and history, that is, liberal arts, are generally between IELTS 6.0 and 7.0, while the IELTS scores of science and engineering students are generally around 6.0 and 6.5.

When applying for British graduate students, the choice of major should be based on interest and future development direction, and the school should consider various factors and data.

Major is closely related to our future, so we need to ask ourselves a question when choosing a major: What do I want to do in the future? It is extremely important to choose a major that you are interested in and corresponds to the future development plan. After all, we learn not only knowledge, but also our future work skills and means of life!

In addition, when choosing a school, we should work hard to climb up and strive for a good school according to our actual situation. But we should also choose the most suitable school according to different majors, students' own needs and personal tendencies, similar professional rankings, international popularity and influence, and school location.

Third, the application skills

The application materials are rich and varied.

If you want to go to the UK for postgraduate study, you should also submit application materials. British universities like students with strong comprehensive ability and hope that students have rich practical experience and generous remuneration. If your application materials are boring, the other party will think that you are a student who only knows how to read, and foreign schools are not interested in this monotonous student.

If your application materials are similar to others, it is even worse. The other party may think that you are suspected of plagiarism, and your application will not pass anyway.

Therefore, when collecting and writing application materials, please be sure to highlight your rich experience and make the materials more personalized, "only for yourself", so as to attract excellent universities and apply for graduate studies in your favorite school.

Take the lead, time is of the essence.

British universities usually follow the principle of "first come, first served". If you apply to the relevant school earlier, then you have seized the opportunity. Because many schools will close their applications at any time according to the number of applicants in that year, so as to start screening from the students who apply first. Therefore, if you want to study abroad, even if you are a graduate student, you should prepare for studying abroad as soon as possible.

There was once a student who wanted to apply for a postgraduate degree at the University of Edinburgh in England. The comprehensive ranking of this school is within the top 50 in the world all the year round, and the conditions of this student are also good. If you work hard, you are likely to succeed in applying. However, at that time, she did not submit relevant materials for several months after the school opened its application. As a result, because of the time problem, there is no way to apply successfully. This is a great pity.
