STEP 1: Decide on a university/college and course

​

You have the chance to develop the knowledge, perspective, and confidence you need to reach your full potential by coming to the UK to study. It is advisable to learn as much as you can about the variety of courses, colleges, and universities that are available and compare them in order to make sure that you pick the course that is ideal for you and your goals. It's also essential to review the prerequisites for the course. You can achieve this by viewing the course profiles on the websites of the universities or the Edu Experts website. If you have any queries, you can get in touch with us for information about your courses, scholarships that are available, university applications, or you can ask the institution directly.

STEP 2: Register and apply

​

• Undergraduates: Applying to undergraduate programmes in the UK is pretty straightforward. You only need to register once, through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service), to be considered for admission to all UK schools and universities . 

​

• Postgraduates: Postgraduate courses in the UK have their own specific entry requirements and application processes, so check the individual course websites for instructions on how to apply.

​

​

​

STEP 3: Accept your offer

​

Your university or college will contact you (usually via email) to tell you whether or not you have received an offer to study. If you applied via UCAS it's easy to track the status of your application at any time. There are a few possibilities:

​

• If you are accepted with an unconditional offer, then congratulations! You have a place and you can accept the offer straightaway.

• If you are accepted with a conditional offer, the place is yours as long as you meet a few extra requirements. This could be achieving certain exam grades or English language test scores. For some courses you may be asked to come for an interview before you receive your offer, either on the phone or sometimes in person. Check the course information before you apply to find out whether this is required

​

STEP 4: Arrange funding

​

Now is the time to arrange funding. You may be eligible for one of the many scholarships available to help with the cost of your studies.

​

​

​

STEP 5: Apply for a student visa

 

Malaysian students applying for a UK student visa typically begin by securing an acceptance offer from a recognized UK educational institution and obtaining a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). With the necessary documents, including proof of financial capability, English proficiency, and potentially healthcare surcharge payment, applicants then submit your visa applications online through the official UK government website. Biometric information, such as fingerprints and a photograph, may be required as part of the application process.

 

Applicants need to attend a visa appointment at a designated visa application center. Once processed, successful applicants receive a visa vignette in your passport, allowing your entry into the UK for their studies. It is essential to stay updated on the latest requirements and procedures by consulting the official UK government website or contacting the UK embassy or consulate in Malaysia for the most accurate and current information.

STEP 6: Prepare your stay

​

It's time to start packing once you've received your offer and your visa! You can now start thinking about flights, accommodations, and anything else you'll need to make the most of your time in the UK.
