| Application Procedure - UK |
| |
Intakes : The main intake for all educational Institutions in UK is September . Every university opens admissions for all courses that they offer, for the September intake. There is also a Mid-year intake offered by some British Universities during January / February. It is important to keep in mind that, a university offering an intake in Jan/ Feb might not necessarily offer all the courses that they have on list, during the mid year intake. Whether or not a University will offer a Jan / Feb intake can be found out on the university website, but this decision is often taken by the university depending on the number of applications they receive of a particular subject, for the Jan / Feb intake.
Private universities, which are not British Universities, but are privately managed educational institutions or are foreign (American, French, Canadian etc.) universities having their campuses in UK , could have up to 3 to 4 intakes in a year. Usually these intakes are in Sept, Oct/Nov, Jan/Feb, May/ June. |

| No Application Fees : A very beneficial aspect of the UK education system is the fact that most Universities (British or Private) do not charge any fees for ‘application'. Thus, to send an application to any University, one is not required to pay any amount to the University; it is absolutely free. Except for a very small number of Universities that do charge an application fees, majority of Universities offer the benefit of ‘no application fees'.
This enables a student to apply to as many institutions he wishes, without being limited by financial constraints. |
| |
| Application Procedure : Each University specifies its application procedure / requirements. Generally one can apply for admissions in 2 ways : |
- By Corresponding with the University, i.e. sending an application with all relevant documents through post or filling up an online application form, and also through
- On The Spot Interviews conducted by several visiting Universities. In this case, one is required to attend an interview conducted by university staff/ faculty, who will offer the student an on the spot decision, about whether or not he is eligible for admission.

| It also important to keep in mind that application to Undergraduate courses needs to be routed through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admission Services). Further information about UCAS can be found on www.ucas.com. As the UCAS procedure can sometimes take a longer duration of time, a large number of British Universities are now enabling Indian students to apply directly to the University, without necessarily using the UCAS route. Deadlines must be kept in mind, when applying through UCAS, in which case applications must be made before June 30, incase of international students living outside the UK/ EU. CONTACT US at Planet for assistance in the application procedure. |
