Study abroad in UK

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

Overall, in terms of academics and infrastructure, my time at the university was Fabulous and one that I will cherish forever. Stirling is a town which comes lively only because of the number of students who reside there and go to the University. I definitely grew a lot professionally and personally during my time at the University. If the placement system was a tad bit better I think it would have been cherry on the cake especially for International students....Read More
