Applying to unis in general requires some sort of backing by a member of staff from the institution you attend. The UK uni system with its UCAS platform is no exception and requires the submission of a reference from the institution for the applying student. Getting a reference made isn’t very hard but processing it can differ based on the institutions.

Foundation

One of the upsides of attending a foundation program is that you do not have to worry about getting your reference made at all. This is because your tutors are representing the institution you attend in helping you apply. The tutors from the institution will have your reference before you even realise you’d need such a thing. However, it is a possible that different institutions take care of references differently so you should always be mindful of the reference itself. Overall, getting a reference while attending a foundation program is basically automatic.

Other Institutions

Getting a reference in other types of institutions such as an international high school or sixth form may be a bit more problematic. Attending these types of institutions would probably force a student to become more proactive in securing a reference. Nevertheless, getting a reference isn’t much of a task and should still be relatively easy. Any additional hassle in getting a reference would probably be tedious at best because most institutions would want their student to get into the best unis.

The UCAS system is a centralised platform for most university-level education applications. This system has its own set of requirements before even getting to the unis of your choices. Getting past this first level of administrative bureaucracy is an integral step in realising your dreams. Don’t let a missing a document be one way ticket to educational limbo!

However, do not fret because most applications are done by both the student and the institution they attend. This opens up the possibility of assistance in filling in anything that is required to make a proper application.

Personal Information

Well this section is probably a no-brainer but filling in your personal information is a mandatory step into applying to unis. This will be done on UCAS’ website where all it really is is your run-of-the mill form filling exercise. The only slightly confusing section of this is further details (touching on funding, nationality and backing) but filling in this section will probably be guided by the institution you attend. To sum it up, don’t worry because you will receive help in filling this in, just make sure you actually do it!

Academic Information and Personal Statement

Academic information and your personal statement are the information being reviewed by unis before they make their choices. First, the academic information you have to fill in will consist of any form of education that you have gone through and any current academic endeavours you will put up for your application. The former is the usual high school or any other establishment that you have attended. However, the latter is about the modules you are currently undertaking to get into UK unis. The grades for these modules will initially be empty and will be filled in by your institution. Your institution will take care of both your predicted grades and final grades.

Second, the personal statement is incredibly important for your application. Although we will not be discussing how to write a good one this time its worth pointing out that uploading the personal statement itself is very important. Do not forget the deadline and check the character limit to ensure that your personal statement is approved by the system.

Uni Choices

Choosing your unis is really important as without it you will obviously not be able to get into any uni. Remembering the deadline for choosing your uni is important to note as the maximum amount of consideration is required but too much will result in disaster.

Sometimes news is delivered through unofficial but credible channels. This supports the mainstream news distributors by adding flair to their generally bureaucratic conduct. These unofficial channels usually occupy online platforms that allow freedom and are free to access. Twitter is a platform that has been utilised to spread insider and juicy news to students.

Situation

Twitter is usually useful in receiving information that is slightly harder to get through conventional channels. Twitter is full of accounts that are run by people with certain positions that allows them to relay insider news to students. For example, Fabrizio Romano is a prominent football news distributor as he has ties to nearly all relevant football clubs in the world. He is best known for being able to announce player transfers with his famous slogan, “Here we go” before the clubs themselves officially announce them. This type of free-flowing yet credible and important information is what makes Twitter an interesting world to obtain news from. However, it is important to note that information from Twitter should be taken with a grain of salt and requires further independent research.

Notable Feature

Twitter’s most notable feature is its posting format. Twitter allows users to post things such as photos, text (with a 280 word limit per post) and videos. These are usually utilised by news distributors in different ways. First, exclusive or usually restricted videos and photos are generally found first in Twitter. This is great for students to know certain information that may be hidden to add to their knowledge. Also, users often spread information through threads or a series of correlating posts which speak about a subject through posts that act as sequential parts. This is useful for obtaining information in a detailed manner.

Network

Twitter is one of the largest social media platforms on the entire planet and can connect students to the entire world. First, students can receive news from anywhere across the world.

Situation

Instagram is very useful in receiving surface level information. First, Instagram is a platform that can introduce various kinds of surface level information. This is useful in receiving a massive aggregate of information that can be collaged into an overall understanding of a topic. For example, if a student would like to get into a sport such as the NFL a really easy way is to follow accounts that discuss the NFL to familiarise themselves with the sport. Also, Instagram should be followed up with further research when wanting to take a piece of information seriously. This is because most information on Instagram does not display the full story and is possibly fake. News accounts on Instagram usually link their sites which discuss the information that they spread further somewhere on their account.

Notable Feature

Instagram’s most notable feature is how wide its reach is. A student can get surface level information from anywhere and about anything by just following accounts relevant to a topic. This is very convenient as Instagram provides a platform for all news from across the world to be discovered by a single student. Students should follow up any information they receive from Instagram with their own research for purposes such as verification and elaboration.

This exposes students to a global network of information that is delivered at light speed. Also, students have the opportunity to spread information to the entire world.
