We suggest that students should begin preparing for their application 5 to 6 months before the intake start date. The timeline may vary depending on the course and destination.
Not really, however, we strongly recommend students write an SOP (Statement of purpose). This helps in portraying a clear intention of the chosen course and country for study.
Moreover, LORs (Letter of Recommendation) add up to the genuineness of your application.
One of the primary documents needed for university application is the Statement of Purpose (SOP) which is also called the Letter of Motivation or Statement of Intent. SOP is a crucial admission document to get an admission and it must focus on:
- Overview of yourself
- Educational qualifications
- Academic achievements
- Projects/Research in the chosen field
- Employment experience
- Areas of interest like hobbies, sports, social or leisure activities
- Career goals, ambitions, and expectations
- Reasons to choose the specific course
- Reasons to select the chosen university
- Reasons for choosing the country
You can draft your SOP which could be 1 to 2 pages with 250-350 words. The Statement of Purpose must be in good English without spelling and grammar mistakes.
First, you must have a clear idea of what you wish to study. Financial considerations should also be taken into account as the cost may vary enormously from institution to institution. A few factors such as the field of study, geography, and cost will help you narrow down your selection.
The next step is to contact us to look into the variety of universities that appeal to you and obtain information from us. We will guide you further to complete the application process smoothly.
Most institutes require you to fill out an application form and submit it, along with your educational qualifications, test results, one or more letters of recommendation from former teachers or employers, personal essays and Statement of Purpose, financial affidavits, and applications for scholarship if any. Sometimes, institutes also require that you pay an application fee.
Interviews are normally conducted by Universities for Postgraduate programs to determine the strengths of applicants for their respective programs. At the undergraduate level, for Bachelor’s and other programs, interviews are very rare and only occur in cases where universities need further information to determine aid or other benefits for applicants.
The significance of such interviews cannot be overemphasized, since they can either make or break an applicant’s probability of acceptance. One could be strong academically, have decent scores, and have well-presented application with top-notch essays. However, a rejection could always happen if the interview is not done successfully, much like in job interviews.
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is one of the mandatory tests required to be taken for admission to universities in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
If you are planning to undertake academic study, you should opt for Academic Training. If you are planning to undertake non-academic training or apply for immigration then it is recommended that you sit for the General Training. While the Listening and Speaking modules are the same for both these tests, the subject matter of the Reading and Writing sections differs depending on which type of test you are attempting.
The IELTS test contains four modules: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Additionally, there are two modes of taking the test: Paper Based or Computer-Delivered.
The first step towards securing admission is a great application. Unless one has prior experience, it’s quite difficult to submit a perfect application with all relevant documents evaluated and attached. An application with missing documents may be delayed, discarded, or misinterpreted by the institute authorities. Thus, it becomes vital to thoroughly review all application details before finally applying. Most students are unaware of the application procedures and required documentation. That’s why we have experienced counsellors to assist at every step of the application process and documentation.
One of the vital steps that involve your future prospects is selection of a university. While numerous universities across the globe offer admissions to students, one needs to carefully inspect various aspects before finally deciding to apply.
Some of the aspects students need to review before applying:
- Availability of interested field of specialization
- What sort of accreditation does the university have
- Cost of study at the University
- Availability of financial assistance
- Employment chances after graduation
- Prospects of further education
- Flexibility of transferring to other courses or programs within and outside the university
- Student-to-staff ratio
- Faculty and infrastructure
- Geography of the university
This is where our professional guidance comes to assistance. Our years of experience in the field have taught us how to cull out relevant information from various sources and present you with the best possible options. We evaluate, test, and reconfirm, so you don’t make a wrong move. A step in the wrong direction can be irreversibly expensive in this current fast-paced lifestyle.
Students can generally work 20 hours per week during the term course and full-time during holidays. However, this depends on the nation and university. It is important to ensure that no business operations are pursued.
It usually takes a couple of weeks, but the key point is to make sure that the application is submitted accurately to avoid rejection/delayed response.
Yes, they can. However, a conditional offer letter is issued in such cases, which gets modified upon submitting relevant documents.
