What is the process of visa application for studying in the UK?

If you want to study in the UK, students must get their own visas. Generally, they should start preparing visas after they get the offer. Let's talk to you about the visa process and precautions for studying in the UK. Let's take a look at these contents.

1. The interview process for studying in the UK

1. Students who submit their application materials in the UK visa center will receive an interview manual, which mainly introduces the use of the interview system. Students drawn for the interview will be informed of the interview method and time.

2. Interviews are mainly conducted in three ways: face-to-face, telephone and Skype. Generally speaking, students are required to participate in Skype interviews while submitting materials.

3. The whole process will last about 1 minutes. The interview was conducted by the clerk in Sheffiled, England. They will mainly ask questions and take notes on some basic questions (such as name, birthday, school application, reasons for choosing this school, reasons for choosing this major, why they want to go to the UK, etc.), which are basically similar to the questions asked when they enter the UK airport.

4. These clerks are not visa officers and have no authority to decide whether the student visa is passed. They just submit the record materials to the visa officer in the form of a report as a supplement to the application materials. It is reported that the British government has equipped enough personnel to cooperate with the implementation of the new regulations, so the application time will not be greatly extended.

2. Application materials for studying in the UK

1. Identity materials

Passports need to be obtained first. During off-peak hours, you can get them in one week. I suggest you apply early. All you need to show your passport materials is a copy of the information page, so you can choose scanning and color printing, which will be clearer.

Then there is the offer of the school. This is the identity certificate of your international student. After you get it, you should keep the original and prepare several copies for later use. You also need to submit copies for your visa. You just need to submit copies.

2. Academic documents

The materials in this part are basically the same as the application materials of colleges and universities. You need to show your graduation certificate and school results, and you also need to translate and accept notarization, but there is no requirement for the content, only it needs to be true and effective.

Language transcripts are also very important, and the examination will be more rigorous. You must reach IELTS 6. or above to go to the UK before you can have a normal study and life, unless you want to study in the preparatory course first.

3. Proof of funds

Then there is the preparation of funds. This part needs to be paid attention to. You must first know the amount of funds you need to show. If you can't confirm it just by looking at the information, you can make a phone call for face-to-face consultation to avoid accidents.

in addition, if there are no special circumstances, * should be kept in the bank for one quarter so far, and it should be kept in a regular way, without income and expenditure and running water, and it should be able to show the legal source of funds.

4. Auxiliary materials

Here, we should pay special attention to the physical examination materials, strictly follow the requirements of the embassy, and meet the requirements from the items of physical examination to the hospitals where the physical examination is conducted, so that the results will be recognized.

3. Matters needing to be interviewed for studying in the UK

1. Is today suitable for visa interview?

generally, the answer is "suitable". If you feel bad that day, you can also say "not suitable" and propose to withdraw the sign; If the visa officer advises you to cancel the visa, you'd better listen to his advice, otherwise the final result is likely to be refusal. You know, there are still some differences between withdrawing a visa and refusing it. According to experience, as long as you can make up for the shortcomings of this application next time, you have a better chance of winning the contract.

2. Name and content of the course? Hours per week? Curriculum structure?

In the visa officer's mind, studying abroad is a major event, so one should treat one's choice carefully, and students should naturally know why and what to study. I'm not afraid that the visa officer can't understand, but I'm afraid that I can't understand anything in a fog. Say it in your own words in an orderly way, and don't seem to be reciting the text.

3. Why did you choose this major?

We should talk about this issue in combination with our own background, characteristics and the future development of this major in China. Visa officers like to hear concrete and reasonable reasons, not vague reasons such as China's entry into WTO, the 28 Olympic Games and its great development after returning to China. Don't say that because I studied this major before, I have to study this major now. This answer obviously fails to grasp the essence of the question, and "applying what I have learned" is the essence. Seriously investigate the present situation of the industry to be engaged in in the future in China, and sum up very convincing reasons for studying this major in the UK.

4. What is the difference between the majors studying in the UK and the previous majors?

First of all, you should carefully analyze the similarities and differences between the major you are going to study and the major you studied before, and see if there is any internal connection between the two majors. Do you have the foundation and ability to study this new major? Why do you have this foundation and ability? Do you have relevant work experience? How will it help your future development after learning?

5. How much is the tuition? How much is the living expenses? What is the total cost of studying in the UK?

Studying abroad is a big event, and you must know what you are spending. You need to know what courses you study every year and the tuition fees of the courses, and of course you need to know the annual living expenses in the UK. It is necessary to calculate a general ledger and see how much it costs to study abroad.
