Second, the requirements for studying in the UK
1, English foundation
Applying for studying in the UK requires a certain English foundation. According to the latest draft of the UK study visa, the English level that was originally only required to be B 1 level must now be upgraded to ordinary B2 level, and those who fail in English will not be granted entry visas. This will directly affect students who apply for undergraduate courses in Britain, and their application is more difficult. The difference in English level between B 1 and B2 is equivalent to IELTS 3.5-4.5, and B2 is equivalent to IELTS 5-6.5.
2. Professional foundation
People studying abroad are divided into different age groups and different levels, so British schools also have requirements for the education they received before studying abroad. Generally speaking, junior and senior high school students do not need any professional foundation to stay in Britain. As long as they apply for a good school and get a visa, they can go abroad to study their favorite courses. However, students who go abroad to study for a bachelor's degree or above need to have some basic professional knowledge, because there is still a certain gap between foreign education models and domestic ones. If the professional span is too large, it will be difficult to learn.
Third, the skills of studying in the UK
1, apply for a suitable course
Students applying for a master's degree should pay attention. Both master's courses in Britain are 1 year postgraduate courses. The teaching style is mainly lectures, lectures and papers, and most of them are practical majors. The research-based application is more difficult than the teaching-based application, because it takes a certain research topic as its main goal and requires the applicant to have certain research ability, research direction or research results. Research-oriented courses are usually one year before doctoral studies, so students who want to continue their doctoral studies (or master's and doctoral studies) can consider applying and get a master's degree of research or a master's degree of philosophy one year later.
2. Prepare perfect and unique application materials:
University admissions people attach great importance to the applicant's self-report letter, recommendation letter, resume and transcripts and other materials. They want to see the application materials submitted by the applicants after careful preparation. Therefore, when preparing materials, everyone must avoid applying templates and be the same. We must highlight our own advantages, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and focus on avoiding light.
