Studying abroad, formerly known as studying abroad, generally refers to a person going to a country outside his own country to receive various kinds of education, which can be short-term or long-term (from a few weeks to several years). These people are called "international students".
Step 2: Get the latest information about studying abroad.
Students who have plans to go abroad or have just sprouted the idea of studying abroad can go to major study abroad information websites at this stage to learn about the study abroad policies, education profiles and related information and news of popular study abroad countries, and find out the suitable study abroad projects and methods through the popularization of related matters.
Step 3: Choose a destination for studying abroad (such as studying in the UK).
To study abroad, you must first find out the destination you want to study abroad. Many China students choose to study in Britain every year. Since the 20th century, the number of China students studying in Britain at their own expense has increased rapidly, and Britain has become the second largest destination for China students.
Step 4: Compare Chinese and English education and choose the stage of studying abroad.
Different national conditions, different educational purposes, different creeds, and the resulting different educational methods make it necessary for China students who intend to apply for studying in the UK to know the British education system in advance, compare the education between China and Britain, accurately judge their current education level in the British education system, choose appropriate courses according to their own characteristics, and arrange reasonable study plans.

Step 5: Prepare for studying in Britain.
Studying abroad, no matter who it is, is a major event in life and may be a major turning point in the future life trajectory. Therefore, early preparation, research and implementation are very critical. No matter which country you study in, the cost and the ability to study and live are essential.
Step 6: Choose a major for studying abroad.
After finding the country that best suits your study destination and ambition, it is actually more important to choose your major of interest than to apply for a higher ranking institution!
Choosing a major is a technical job. If you don't do it well, it will be difficult to find a job after graduation, but it will delay your life. Therefore, students should carefully think about what majors they are suitable for, which majors are needed by the sunrise industry and which majors have great employment prospects!
Step 7: Choose an institution to study abroad.
After choosing their interested and suitable majors, students should also choose several British universities to apply for, which can be based on professional rankings, comprehensive rankings, geographical location, campus environment and other factors. It is suggested that students and parents who are preparing to study abroad choose suitable schools that match their personal abilities, study abroad expectations and future development goals.
Step 8: Prepare the application materials.
Students who intend to apply for studying in the UK can prepare application materials according to the needs of their own institutions and majors. The so-called application materials are actually the materials that we must submit to the school when applying for a British institution, including transcripts, PS, letters of recommendation, language scores, graduation certificates, etc.
Step 9: Prepare your language scores.
Although many British universities accept students to submit applications without language scores, many British universities clearly stipulate that students must have language scores that meet the application conditions of the school when applying. Therefore, it is essential to prepare for the language test in advance.
As the Home Office has revised the list of language test categories recognized by British visas again, it is best for students to take the language test scores recognized by British visas.
Step 10: Modify the application documents.
The application documents in the application materials for studying in the UK include personal statement (PS), recommendation letter and resume. Judging from the application situation in the past two years, whether the applicants studying in the UK can get the university offer depends entirely on the application materials.
Step 1 1: Select the application method.
Studying abroad, the popular way at present is DIY, looking for an intermediary.
Step 12: Get a study abroad plan
By choosing the country you want to study abroad, the time you plan to go abroad, and the grade you are currently studying.
Step 13: Submit an application
Undergraduate students need to submit their applications through UCAS (University and College Admissions Service Center). Students applying for master's courses can apply directly through the online application system of the selected university or the corresponding international admissions office.
Step 14: Wait for the school's offer.
After submitting the application, it is the stage of waiting for admission. At this stage, there are actually many things that can be done. On the one hand, it can distract one's anxiety and nervousness, on the other hand, it can make a lot of preparations for going abroad in the next step, such as continuing to learn the language of the destination country, studying the local customs, planning one's past life and so on.
Step 15: Get the offer and select the offer.
Choosing an offer, as the name implies, means that the applicant chooses which institution to attend after receiving offers from several British universities. When students decide to choose the school's offer, they must give the school a corresponding reply within the validity period of the offer. Usually, British universities will offer two kinds of offers to applicants, one is a conditional offer and the other is an unconditional offer. The university's admission notice will clearly inform the steps to accept the offer.
Step 16: Get the offer and change to CAS.
CAS is one of the necessary materials for applying for a study visa in the UK. Students will submit the admission notice together with the payment voucher of advance payment, and the school will help you convert it into CAS statement. This can confirm students' degrees and apply for student visas.
Step 17: Apply for a study visa in the UK.
China citizens need to obtain a visa in advance to study in the UK. Because Britain has added a series of new visa policies for international students in China, among which the visa application process for applicants who have been in Britain for more than six months has changed, and the implementation of biometric card policy in China directly affects when students apply for visas. Therefore, children's shoes enrolled in September can only apply for a visa valid for 30 days one month in advance, and get a biometric card from the post office within 10 days of arrival in the UK.
Step 18: Apply for on-campus accommodation or off-campus rental.
You can study in the UK, rent a house or apply for a dormitory. Students should contact the school office to apply for dormitory as soon as they get the admission notice. Under very special circumstances, the school will arrange for students to live in host families in the first year. There are two forms of renting: single rent and shared rent.
Step 19: Prepare before departure and make an appointment to meet you at school.
Students who have obtained CAS and visa should actually bring themselves and some necessary things before leaving. By the way, check the visa content and passport, apply for university dormitory, physical examination, buy air tickets, make an appointment for pick-up service, prepare luggage, change money, enter and leave the country, etc.
There are six major airports in Britain. British universities usually arrange pick-up service at London Heathrow International Airport and nearby airports. The students made an appointment to pick up the plane before taking off. After arriving in Britain, they will look for pick-up personnel and vehicles according to the time and place agreed in advance.
Step 20: Book a plane ticket and pack your bags.
Prospective international students must buy air tickets before going abroad, and it is best to book air tickets 1-2 months in advance. Be sure to check the destination address and airport code when purchasing air tickets. What kind of luggage and articles to carry depends largely on your personal choices and needs.
Step 21: Enter the UK and start studying abroad.
Don't rush out for a walk after you get settled in. The next step should be to open an account in a local bank nearby with your passport, admission notice and detailed address, and save some cash in the card to avoid unnecessary trouble.
