University of Stirling- A home for any International student

Applied for around 4 colleges, which were: 1. University of Stirling(admitted) 2. University of Edinburgh(admitted) 3. Glasgow University(rejected) 4. University of Reading(admitted) The first response I got was from the University of Stirling which was my first priority. Got accepted in Edinburgh and Reading too but since I had already accepted the offer from University of Stirling, I did not go ahead with them. My honest answer to why I got rejected from Glasgow University is I don't know, they had not really mentioned the reason for the rejection. I mainly chose University of Stirling because I was impressed with the campus environment and secondly they had good programs and this was one of the very few colleges that had the course I had taken. So for University of Stirling, I first got an e mail saying I have been accepted to the program, then with the help of SIUK i went ahead with the other process which included me sending my documents for the VISA application, which included my educational certificates, Aadhar card, bank statement, 2 passport size photos, health certificate(TB), Personal statement which had to be 500 letters not less not more.  I gave my IELTS before applying to colleges and usually UK colleges require atleast a score of 7. Overall the admission process was very smooth for me, thanks to SIUK. There were no particular challenges. I applied to the September intake as I was on contract base work before that and I wanted to take a break and enhance my skills in psychology and hence I thought it was the right time to apply.  The admission process took me almost 2 to 3 months. Starting with selecting a college, once that was done, writing a Personal Statement as required by the university, once that was checked I had to wait for the acceptance letter from the university, further going through the process of the VISA, which was done very smoothly with the help of SIUK....Read More
