Applying for postgraduate studies

Postgraduate applications are made to the universities. ECS provides the details, helps with the application procedures, and can apply directly for you.

It is usual to apply directly to the institution or department offering the course or research opportunity as there is no centralised application system for postgraduate study in the UK. There are some exceptions, mainly for vocational subjects such as teaching, social work and law, for which there are clearing houses.

As well as the application form, which is increasingly available from the website of individual institutions, you will be asked to approach referees. And, if you are applying for a research degree, provide a research proposal.

It is also wise to include a letter and/or personal statement to support your application. You may be invited to an interview locally, which will give you an opportunity to talk about your experience and your plans for postgraduate study. Then, once you have been accepted on to a course, you're well on your way to studying in UK

Whatever your study plans or whatever questions you may have studying at Postgraduate level in the UK - the British Council can help. For further information visit them at www.educationuk.org.
