First, the IELTS requirements for British graduate students studying abroad

1, IELTS 5.5

If a student's IELTS score is only 5.5, it is a little difficult to apply for a general university, let alone a good university, regardless of the average score or major. In this case, if students can't continue to take IELTS, the school or teacher will suggest that students go to the UK for a period of language classes or take preparatory courses.

This is also a common scheme for most students whose language is not up to standard. Only when the final exam meets the requirements of the school can you enter the formal curriculum. Whether it meets the standards depends on the professional requirements of each school.

2, IELTS 6 points

IELTS 6 can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches in the army of applying for British universities. It's a bit difficult to apply for a good school, usually in a university outside the 50 th or 60 th place.

However, schools that require IELTS 6 are the minimum requirements for most universities in the UK, such as Glasgow University, Nottingham University, Sheffield University, Newcastle University, Loughborough University and Birmingham University. The minimum requirement is 6.0, but most majors in these schools require 6.5 points, and the requirement of 6 is very few special majors. Therefore, when students only apply for 6 points, they may not be admitted.

Some universities with a minimum IELTS score of 6:

University of Glasgow 6.0-7.0

University of Nottingham 6.0-6.5

University of Warwick 6.0-7.0

Lancaster University 6.0-7.0

University of Sheffield 6.0-7.0

Durham University 6.0-7.0

Loughborough University 6.0-7.0

Newcastle University 6.0-7.0

University of Birmingham 6.0-7.0

The minimum requirement of these schools is 6.0, but popular majors and their strong majors generally require 6.5 points, or even 7.0 points, which is normal. 6 points can be used for three months of language courses.

3. IELTS 6.5.

IELTS 6.5 is a common requirement of most universities in the UK, while most universities in business require 6.5, and any university after 65,438+00 can be admitted.

Second, the requirements for applying for graduate students

1, application materials

There are two kinds of master's degrees in Britain. At present, most master's degrees in Shen Ying, China are taught by professors. This educational system is a class form, and the educational system is one year (a few schools have two-year courses), which is the employment route; If you like doing scientific research and want to continue studying for a doctorate, then apply for a research-oriented master's degree in MRes and MPhil.

After determining my type, I began to prepare the application materials. First, let's take a look at our undergraduate background. One of the characteristics of Shen Ying is that the school attaches great importance to the undergraduate background of China students. The school will take your institution as an important reference factor for the first round of examination materials. If it does not meet the requirements, it is likely to be rejected.

2. Documentation

Literature materials include PS, RL, CV, writing samples and RP (research proposal) according to different majors. I mainly prepare the first three items according to my preparation experience.

The first is PS. Warwick attaches great importance to the writing of PS in documents. Before I applied, a senior told me that I must write the PS well, otherwise Warwick would directly turn people away because of poor PS writing, so my PS was revised more than 20 times before submitting it. Fortunately, the requirements for PS in engineering are low, and there are no accidents.

Step 3 Choose a school/major

Before deciding to study in the UK, we should have a clear range of schools and majors we want to study in, and it will be more targeted to prepare application materials towards this goal.

Most graduate students studying in the UK will choose to return to China for employment after graduation, and a few will choose to stay in the UK. It is more difficult to find a job in Britain now because of British policy. These jobs are mainly provided to EU students. Another point is that Tier2' s work visa is not easy to sign. In the army of studying in Britain, students who are less than the second floor can find good full-time jobs in Britain.

4. Have a bachelor's degree in related disciplines in China.

5. Language proficiency test scores have reached certain requirements, with IELTS score above 6.5. If the students' language level does not meet the entrance standards, they can also apply for English language courses first and then take postgraduate courses after passing the language examination.

6. The scores of undergraduate specialized courses meet certain requirements of the school. For example, students in 2 1 1 universities usually require a GPA of above 80, while students in non-21/universities usually require a GPA of above 85.

You can refer to the volunteer reference system for studying abroad, enter information such as GPA and major, and the system will automatically match student cases similar to yours from the database to see which institutions and majors they have successfully applied for. You can also inquire according to the goal of studying abroad to see what the background is (language achievement, school background, major, GPA, etc. ) your target colleges and majors have applied, so compare your own situation and make general goals and directions.

7. Proof of language knowledge

IELTS scores are generally needed to prove English proficiency. Most universities in Britain require applicants to provide IELTS scores to prove their language proficiency. Some schools have made it clear that they can also provide other English proficiency certificates such as TOEFL scores. Generally speaking, the IELTS score is around 6.5. If the students' grades are around 5.5, they can match the corresponding language courses. Therefore, students should learn to apply for IELTS before considering studying in the UK.

8. Academic certificate

Education includes: graduation certificate, degree certificate, proof of studying and other materials. If the applicant has graduated, a diploma and a degree certificate are required; If you are still studying, you need to provide proof of studying and affix the seal of the school. When mailing materials, it is best to seal them with envelopes and stamp them by the school.

9. Portfolio

There must be works of art in the portfolio, which is the most important part of applying for studying in the UK. When applying, you'd better send your own works of art in the form of a collection, which is more helpful to the application. The admission criteria for art majors in each school are different. Of course, the best university will consider your school and academic achievements when applying, but in fact, the most important thing is your personal work.
