Greetings students of the world, in this video I'll be guiding you through the UK
university offer letter and talking about what happens next once you've
submitted your application to study in the UK.
Hello again, Jack here from Cardiff Met International to talk about what happens
next once you've submitted your application to come and study in the UK
at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Whilst this video will be specific to
Cardiff Met, the process will no doubt be very similar at other UK universities as
well. In this video I'll be talking about what happens after you've submitted your
application so if you haven't already made an application make sure you check
out my entry requirements and how to apply video, however you may find the
information in this video useful anyway as it will help you to understand what
happens next. Right, let's jump straight in. So, you've completed the online
application form, submitted your documents and received confirmation that
the university has received your application. What happens next?
During the following two weeks or so, the university admissions team will assess
your application. They'll assess your qualifications and documents and decide
whether you are a suitable candidate for the course that you have applied for. If
we need any more information to make this assessment we'll be in touch to let
you know. Once this assessment is complete you'll receive our decision as
offer letter attached to an email. Hopefully, it will contain good news! *cheers and applause*
If you are successful in receiving an offer letter it will have one of two statuses:
Either an unconditional offer or a conditional offer.
An unconditional offer means you have already met all of the requirements
for your course, whereas a conditional offer means there are still a few steps
that you need to take before you can accept your offer. In some cases students
won't be offered a place to study, however where possible we'll let you know
why and suggest other options that may be suitable such as a different course
or level of study. So you've received your offer letter seen whether it's
conditional or unconditional, what next? If you've received a conditional offer you
will need to read your offer letter to find out what your conditions are and
how to meet them. Most often this means you'll need to send us further documents
once you have them. Some of the most common conditions are as follows: Missing
Documents. If you didn't submit a valid statement of purpose or letter of
reference these will be included as conditions.
Pending Qualifications. If you haven't yet completed your current studies or
didn't submit academic transcripts, a final certificate, or English language
evidence, you will receive a conditional offer. If you need to obtain a specific
grade or score in your current studies we'll include this in your conditions.
Interview Required. Some courses may require an academic interview or an
english-language or visa preparation interview. If these are included in your
conditions you will need to book an interview with the University. We'll email
you instructions along with your offer letter. Extra Requirements. There may be
additional requirements for your course such as the verification of a
professional qualification or a police check for some teaching courses. These
will be included in your offer letter with further instructions in your email.
If there are any conditions I haven't mentioned, we'll make sure these are explained
when you receive your offer letter. Once you've submitted any extra documents
requested we'll check for everything is in order and update your offer. Once you
have met all of your conditions we will send you an unconditional offer. So we'll
make your conditional offer unconditional on the condition you send
your conditions, does that makes sense? Once you've received your unconditional
offer the next step is to accept your offer. All you need to do is reply to
the offer letter email to let us know or click the accept link if you have one
in the email. This is a really exciting step as it means that you have decided
that you are ready to commit to come and study in the UK. With your unconditional
offer accepted the next step is to look into whether you will need a student
visa to come and study in the UK. There is lots to talk about other subjects of
visas so I'll explore this in future videos. So there you have it I hope you
now understand the journey from application to unconditional offer to
come and study here at Cardiff Met. If this video has been helpful please do
