The report card is divided into two sides, and the same printed paper needs to have relevant information about the school. Generally, both sides need the seal of the Academic Affairs Office. Most schools will provide self-service grade printing service, both in Chinese and English. Stamping will be much more convenient.

The official will also send the score to the address filled in by the applicant on the tenth working day after the written test.

The submission of IELTS scores for studying in the UK can be divided into two forms: electronic online submission and post submission. Therefore, Shen You suggested that if you want to send IELTS scores, you should check in advance whether the IELTS submission requirements of the target school accept electronic delivery. After confirmation, log in to IELTS official website and fill in the relevant application for sending scores. After payment, the scores can be successfully sent to the Admissions Office of the target institution.

4.GRE/GMAT score

Therefore, you need to determine whether you need GRE/GMAT scores according to the school and major you apply for, and then decide whether to take GMAT or GRE if necessary; If not, you can skip it below. Generally speaking, if you apply for business school, you will take GMAT for business majors, while if you apply for non-business majors such as science, engineering and liberal arts, you will mainly take GRE.

After the exam, the report will be sent to the recipient's designated address by official direct mail in about 10- 15 days, or you can log on to GMAT/GRE official website to download the registration information. Relevant grades can be directly "sent" to the applicant school for subsequent needs.

5. supporting documents

Documents need to reflect the background and characteristics of individuals in all aspects, and whether they meet the application requirements of the corresponding schools. The writing quality of application documents has a certain influence on the application results and even the benefits such as applying for scholarships. To apply for studying in Britain, the general documents and materials should include personal statement PS, resume CV and recommendation letter RL.

The above certificates, grades and documents are essential basic materials for studying in Britain. Some materials need to be considered according to the actual situation of the applicant because of the different requirements of individuals and schools, such as internship/work certificate, award-winning certificate, scanned passport, portfolio and deposit certificate. Students from different backgrounds have different needs, and schools will also have explanations of relevant materials, so just pay attention to the application schools and make preparations in advance.

As can be seen from the above application materials, studying in the UK still attaches great importance to hardware performance, so Shen You suggested that if you still have plenty of time, you must plan all aspects of the examination arrangements in advance. Only in the application season can you make your application materials more convincing.

2. Five Points for Attention in Studying in the UK

First, don't speak Chinese casually in class.

Being in a foreign land, if China happens to be in the same class, it is the happiest thing. Many students will speak Chinese unconsciously when chatting and discussing in class. In fact, it is very easy to arouse the resentment of students from other countries. In English environment, if you keep speaking Chinese, they will feel uncomfortable, think you are not friendly and open enough, and you are rude. Therefore, when there are English people, you should try to speak English.

Second, don't just take your mobile phone when you go out, but also bring cash.

Mobile payment in Britain is not as common as in China, and many businesses still only accept cash. When swiping a credit card, many stores also have a minimum consumption limit, because the handling fee for swiping a credit card abroad is very high. In addition, only cash tickets are accepted by public transportation. So you can prepare a coin purse for yourself and take it with you at any time. It is very convenient to spend.

Third, remember to smile.

In foreign countries, even strangers will nod and smile when their eyes meet inadvertently. So if the other person smiles at you, don't be surprised and don't be afraid, it's that the other person is showing you friendliness. You just have to smile and go back.

Fourth, don't take pictures of children.

In developed countries like Britain, people attach great importance to protecting children's rights and interests. If you take pictures of your child without the permission of your guardian, it is very easy for you to be suspected of being a pedophile, and the other party has the right to call the police. Therefore, no matter how cute the child is, don't take pictures at will. Avoid causing unnecessary misunderstanding.

5. avoid driving in the main city.

First of all, British cars drive on the left, which is just the opposite of our country. If you drive just after arriving in the main city, it is very easy to cause an accident. I suggest you practice in the suburbs with few cars first. Secondly, there are very few parking spaces in the main urban areas of British cities, especially in London. Relative parking fees are also relatively expensive. So, if you are active in the city, I suggest you give priority to public transportation.

3. Choose the advantages of studying in the UK.

1. British education is of high quality and short academic system.

British universities have a three-year undergraduate education system and a one-year postgraduate education system. Compared with the United States, Canada, Australia and other countries, the time to get a degree is shorter than most countries, and the funds are greatly saved.

British education has always attached importance to quality education, and the curriculum structure includes group work, small papers, discussion classes and other forms besides traditional teaching, which greatly improves children's comprehensive quality.

Therefore, choosing to study in the UK virtually saves money and time. Moreover, the British diploma degree is highly respected internationally, and it is also recognized and respected internationally.

2. Standard language

Britain is the birthplace of English and the hometown of gentlemen and ladies. Every student studying abroad is eager to speak fluent English after returning home, and studying in the UK will undoubtedly enable students to master pure British English.

3. A diploma with high gold content

At present, the world is mainly divided into Commonwealth education system and North American education system. Britain is the birthplace of modern universities, and its profound cultural background and professional education environment attract a large number of overseas students to study.

British universities and scientific research institutions have produced many Nobel Prize winners, ranking second in the world in terms of both the number of winners and the level of scientific research. Therefore, studying in Britain can get a diploma with high gold content.

4. The visa materials are simple and the visa period is short.

This year, the relationship between Britain and China is warming up. The British Embassy has simplified the application procedures, the visa materials are simple and clear, and the visa application cycle is shorter than that of other countries. The most important thing is that most colleges and majors do not need face-to-face visas, and British visas are easier to succeed than American visas.

5. Convenient transportation.

Britain is in the center of Europe. You can visit major cities such as Paris, Rome and Madrid by ferry, train or plane, and get a close look at the diverse cultural and historical features of the European continent. During your study abroad, you have the opportunity to facilitate European countries.

Britain is not a visa-free country, but China students studying in Britain may get French, German and Italian tourist visas on the same day if they have school certificates and sufficient funds.

6. Good living conditions

Britain is an old capitalist country with the highest living conditions in Europe. Britain is the most typical European country with a long history and splendid art and culture, which is very close to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands and other countries. It can not only learn knowledge and broaden its horizons, but also enjoy the scenery of Europe.
