How to Apply

Applying to study in the UK can be tricky and confusing when doing things on your own. Take all of the stress out of the process by using Across the Pond’s free expertise and guidance. To help you on your way here are some things to be aware of: 
  

APPLICATION DEADLINES FOR ADMISSION TO UK UNIVERSITIES 

In the UK, admissions are mainly on a rolling basis – meaning it is "first come, first served" until the programme is filled. We therefore recommend that you apply as early as you can, and preferably before Christmas if you want to start your studies the following autumn. Exceptions: Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Sciences as well as all courses at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, and also selected courses at master's level. 
 

HOW TO CHOOSE WHAT TO STUDY AND WHICH UNIVERSITY 

Choosing what to study and which university to go to can be a very difficult process, especially when you may not be able to go and visit to find out which option you like best. Our advisors regularly visit the universities and help hundreds of students apply to a wide range of subjects every single year. They will be able to help you determine which universities and courses are best for you based on your academic background and the universities' minimum requirements, as well as your wishes and needs for what you would like your study experience to look like and cost.
 

HOW TO APPLY TO STUDY IN THE UK 

We make it very easy for you! We have our own application form where you fill in your information and upload your application documents. We check that everything has been entered correctly before the application is submitted and that way you do not have to worry that you have made any mistakes that may result in you not being accepted. 
  

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR STUDIES IN THE UK? 

To apply for studies at UK universities you need: 

  • One academic letter of recommendation if you are applying for undergraduate studies, and often two if you are applying for Master’s degree programmes. We have advice and tips that you can give to the person who will be writing this for you, so that together we ensure that they include all the information the UK universities are looking for. For postgraduate applicants you may also be required to submit your CV. Please note that how to write a CV for UK universities may differ from how they are expected to be written in your home country. 
     
  • Preliminary grades or final diploma (final diploma will be sent as soon as you have received it).
      
  • Personal Statement. It is very important that it is you who has written your personal statement, but we will help you with what is important to include (or not include!) based on what and where you are hoping to study, in addition to proofreading it for you. This is a very important part of the application and whether or not you get in may be decided based on this statement. Some universities and courses have additional requirements and expectations in terms of what they want to see here and it is very important that you adhere to these indications. That's why we spend a lot of time making your personal statement as good as it can be. 
     
  • Note: Some courses will also require an audition, portfolio and other admissions tests. 

  

DOES IT COST ANYTHING TO APPLY TO UK UNIVERSITIES? 

When applying for undergraduate programmes, an application fee is required which is paid to the admissions service. In addition, some universities charge an application fee for some of the Master’s programmes they offer. These application fees are payable directly to the University or the University and Colleges Admissions Service and not to us. We will never ask for any payment or card information from you and all help from us is free of charge. 

Some universities will require a deposit to secure your study place after you have been granted admission, this will later be deducted from the tuition fee. After you have been granted admission and your place has been confirmed, you will have to pay a fee to apply for a student visa in order to access healthcare in the UK during your studies. If you wish to live in the universities’ student housing you must apply to be allocated a room before the housing application deadline and once this has been processed you are often required to pay deposit to secure the accommodation. When you eventually enrol in the university, you will pay the tuition fee. Prices in the UK vary greatly and if you have any questions about the cost of studying in the UK, please get in touch. We are happy to help you find affordable options!

Studying Abroad in the UK: A Transformative Experience

Study Physiotherapy in the UK - Brunel University - Across the Pond Canada

Studying abroad has always been a dream of mine, fueled by a desire to immerse myself in new cultures and experiences. When I didn't secure admission to a Canadian university, my husband introduced me to the idea of studying in the UK through Across the Pond. Little did I know, this decision would lead to an experience of a lifetime.
 

Choosing Brunel University:

Initially drawn to Scotland, my interview with Brunel University convinced me otherwise. Located in London, UK, Brunel offered the perfect blend of academic excellence and vibrant student life. The convenience of its location and the provision of individual tutors for each student stood out to me. Moreover, the opportunity to learn from professors who were experts in their fields, like the tendinopathy lecture taught by a renowned researcher, was truly appealing. The presence of a significant Canadian student community also made me feel at home.
 

Accommodation and Campus Life:

I opted to stay off-campus, just a short walk away from Brunel. Living with two fellow Canadian PT students forged strong friendships and added to the sense of community. Brunel's dedication to student experience was evident through its myriad of clubs and activities. I particularly enjoyed being part of the weightlifting and CrossFit team, where I had access to top-notch facilities and learned from experienced athletes.
 

Academic Pursuits:

Enrolled in the Master of Science in Physiotherapy program, I appreciated Brunel's evidence-based approach and emphasis on practical learning. The availability of pre-recorded lectures allowed for flexible learning, with class time focused on hands-on experiences and consolidating knowledge.
 

Exploring Uxbridge and Beyond:

Although Uxbridge wasn't the most exciting city, its proximity to Heathrow Airport and easy access to central London made it convenient. I often found myself exploring the vibrant heart of London or venturing to areas like Ealing, Camden, and Covent Gardens became a regular part of my routine, with the opportunity to visit a new country every month—a perk I cherished.
 

Social Life and Personal Growth:

Beyond academics, I embarked on a placement with a professional rugby team, which provided invaluable real-world experience. Weekends were filled with adventures and cultural exploration, fostering friendships with people from diverse backgrounds.

Reflecting on my time in the UK, I am grateful for the support of Across the Pond throughout the application process. Despite the challenges and expenses, studying abroad was undoubtedly worth it. The experience broadened my horizons, enriched my academic journey, and provided memories that will last a lifetime. For anyone considering studying abroad, I wholeheartedly encourage it—it's an opportunity of a lifetime.
