HOW CAN I STUDY AT UWE BRISTOL?

1716

YOUR ROUTE TO UWE BRISTOL

With Kaplan, there are many ways to gain entry to UWE Bristol. Whether you need a

pathway course or qualify for direct admission, we have an option that’s right for you.

І What is a pathway course?

If you have completed high school or university,

but don’t quite meet the entry requirements for a

UWE Bristol undergraduate or postgraduate degree,

you can still gain a place through a pathway course.

This will give you the skills and knowledge you

need to progress to your degree at UWE Bristol.

You’re guaranteed entry if you pass at the required

level with good attendance.*

І On-campus pathway courses

Foundation Certificate

To qualify for entry to an undergraduate degree at

UWE Bristol, you can take a Foundation Certificate.

You’ll be fully prepared for your studies, and can

progress to the 1st year of your degree.

International Year One (IYO)

If you’ve finished high school with good grades,

you might qualify to study an IYO. This combines

university preparation with content similar to that

of undergraduate 1st year, allowing you to progress

directly to the 2nd year of your degree.

Pre-Master’s

If you already have 3 years of higher education

or equivalent from your home country, but don’t

quite qualify for entry to a postgraduate degree,

a Pre-Master’s is ideal. This will bring your skills

up to the level needed for entry to a UWE Bristol

postgraduate degree.

* This guarantee applies only to our Foundation Certificate, International Year One and Pre-Master's courses. For the Pre-Doctorate, you are guaranteed an interview for a doctoral degree at UWE Bristol if your research topic matches the University's priority areas.

І Off-campus pathway course

Pre-Doctorate

If you already have a degree, and wish to study a

UWE Bristol doctoral degree, you can prepare with

a Pre-Doctorate at Kaplan's International College

in London. The course helps you to navigate the

process of applying for UK doctoral degree, and to

best present yourself and your research ideas to

universities at doctoral level.

І Direct degree admission

If you already qualify for a degree at UWE Bristol,

you can apply for direct admission through

Kaplan. This has many advantages, and provides

you with an expert support system as your

application to the University progresses.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

І How much does it cost to study at the College?

Studying in the UK is a big financial investment, so you need

to plan ahead. You must have at least £1,015 for each month

of your pathway course, up to a maximum of nine months,

as well as funds to cover any unpaid tuition fees. This money

must be held in a recognised bank account for at least 28 days

before you apply for your Tier 4 (General) student visa. See the

guide on the next page for more information on costs.

І What supporting documents do I need to provide?

For your application to be complete, you need to send us a

few extra documents, including:

• copies of your passport and any previous UK visas.

• IELTS certificate (UKVI Academic).

• academic transcripts (plus certified translations if the

originals aren't in English).

You can still apply without these items, and submit them later.

І How long does the application process take?

If your study application is complete and successful, once our

Admissions team receives it, they will issue an offer within one

working day. The duration of the process that follows can vary,

so it's good to apply at least a few months in advance. This will

allow you enough time to prepare your student visa application,

reserve your accommodation and get ready for your trip.

І Do I need insurance during my course?

You’ll need to be fully covered by student insurance for all of

your pathway course. We can offer you a comprehensive policy

in partnership with Endsleigh, a leading insurance provider.

Find out more at: www.kaplanpathways.com/insurance

І Are scholarships available?

Partial tuition fee scholarships for pathway courses and degrees

are offered to students who get good grades. Learn more at:

www.kaplanpathways.com/how-to-apply/scholarships

І Do I need a guardian during my studies?

If you are under 18 years old, you’ll need a legal guardian in

the UK until you reach 18; something we can help arrange.

Find out more at: www.collegeguardians.co.uk

І Do you speak my language?

If you, or your parents, would prefer to speak with us in your
