The application process for UK universities primarily takes place through the UCAS. Here are the key steps involved:
Registration: Your child needs to register on the UCAS Hub, providing accurate personal information and indicating an interest in undergraduate level study.
Completing Personal Details: All mandatory questions must be answered, including queries about residency status, ethnic origin, national identity, occupational background, and personal circumstances.
Education History: All qualifications from secondary education onwards, including those still awaiting results, must be entered.
Employment History: If your child has had any paid jobs, up to five of them can be listed. Unpaid or voluntary work should be mentioned in the personal statement.
Course Choices: Your child can select up to five courses with no preference order. Universities won't know where else your child has applied until after they reply to any offers.
Personal Statement: This is a chance for your child to express their motivation, passion, and suitability for the chosen course(s).
Reference: A written recommendation from a teacher, adviser or professional who knows your child academically is required.
Payment and Submission: Once the application is complete, a fee is required to submit it to UCAS. The application fee for 2023 entry is £22.50 for a single choice, or £27 for more than one choice.
Remember, your child can only apply once in a cycle, and they should not apply more than once or submit a new application if they are holding a deferred place from a previous cycle.
A-Level grades play a crucial role in university applications in the UK. They are a key indicator of a student's academic ability and can heavily influence admissions decisions. Here's why they're important:
Meeting Entry Requirements: Most universities have specific A-Level grade requirements for each course. These grades are the minimum a student needs to be considered for a place.
Competitiveness: For popular or highly competitive courses, such as Medicine or Law at top universities, high A-Level grades can set a student apart from other applicants.
Conditional Offers: Universities often make offers based on predicted A-Level grades. This means a student will be offered a place on the condition that they achieve certain grades in their A-Levels.
Foundation Programmes: For students who do not meet the A-Level grade requirements for their desired course, some universities offer foundation programmes. These are one-year courses designed to prepare students for the main degree programme.
Remember, while A-Level grades are important, they are not the only factor universities consider. The personal statement, reference, and evidence of a passion for the subject area are also key components of a successful application. Edumentors' mentors can provide tailored advice on achieving and utilising strong A-Level grades as part of a balanced, compelling university application.
