Application Process
Applications and Entry Requirements
Student or parent/guardian contacts Kampus via phone, email or contact form.
They are assigned a personal education advisor who will arrange an initial phone call with them at their convenience.
The consultant will discuss the student’s educational and language background, nationality, interests, grades, and financial situation, with the aim of providing them with realistic and personalised university recommendations.
The call is followed up with an email providing initial recommendations/options to evaluate.
Upon the student making their final course selection, their personal advisor will assist them throughout the application process, as well as advising on how to best comply with any language and visa requirements.
The application will be submitted directly by Kampus Group upon receiving all necessary documentation. Alternatively, in some cases the student may be required to submit it directly, for which they will receive full support from their personal advisor.
The student will be informed of the outcome of the applications as soon as these are available.
If unsuccessful, Kampus will provide support in securing alternative study options or pathways.
UK university requirements may differ based on the university and programme you are applying to. Your academic background, language skills, experience and qualifications may come into play.
If you want to study in the UK and English isn’t your first language, you’ll need to take an English language test. Universities normally specify which test they prefer and the results they need. The most commonly required English tests are IELTS and TOEFL, followed by either PTE Academic and English Advanced. There are IELTs centres and language centres around the globe that students can attend to prepare for these examinations (What level of English do I need to get into a UK university? | Undergraduate | UCAS ).
Many UK universities do not accept TOEFL and instead will require students to take the IELTS exams.To check TOEFL requirements for any university visit here Countries and Schools Accepting TOEFL Scores | The TOEFL® Test (toeflgoanywhere.org) or contact us (hyperlink) to check the language requirements for your university of choice.
UK Universities will assess you based on any of the following:
- Home country pre-university diploma or high school grades
- English language proficiency
- English language exams (if applicable)
- University entrance examinations (if applicable)
- Other examinations if applicable, such as GMAT for business and BMAT/IMAT for medicine.
- Interviews
- Work experience
- References
Once you are prepared to apply to university, we will either submit your application directly to universities, or will guide you on submitting it through UCAS if required (some undergraduate degrees).
