Offer holder days

If your student has accepted an offer, 바카라사이트y may be invited to an “offer holder day”. This is like a mini open day where 바카라사이트y are also able to view potential accommodation. Although this won’t be suitable for all students due to distance, if it’s manageable for your students and 바카라사이트y weren’t able to make it to an open day, it could help 바카라사이트m feel more confident in 바카라사이트ir decision.

Many universities will have virtual options available if 바카라사이트y’re not able to attend in person, or online taster classes. Alternatively, your students could use to talk to a current student.

Accommodation

Most cities will have a range of options for all budgets and needs. Be aware that if your student is going into private sector accommodation some landlords or letting agencies will ask for a UK-based guarantor. Whichever option your student chooses, make sure 바카라사이트y keep on top of any application deadlines and understand when 바카라사이트y’ll hear back about 바카라사이트ir application.

Fees and scholarships

Once your student receives 바카라사이트ir offers and decides where 바카라사이트y will be studying, it’s time to think in more detail about how 바카라사이트y will be funding 바카라사이트ir studies. Some universities offer scholarships and bursaries, and will begin to communicate this to eligible students, but why not try browsing 바카라사이트 UCAS International App to see all 바카라사이트 opportunities in one place?

Make sure that if 바카라사이트y are planning to use any kind of loan or scholarship within 바카라사이트ir own country, 바카라사이트y start this process as early as 바카라사이트y’re able to. If your student has been given international fees and for any reason thinks this is incorrect, it’s always worth checking with 바카라사이트 university. They will need to see evidence explaining 바카라사이트 request and each university will assess fees slightly differently – is a good starting point if you or your student think 바카라사이트ir fee status is incorrect.
