Why might I need degree preparation?
There are a few different reasons why you might need to take a degree preparation course. For instance, the education system in your home country may be shorter than in the country where you want to study your degree, or your academic grades or English score aren’t quite high enough for you to qualify. You also might want to apply to a university that isn’t available to you with your current grades.
What do I need to apply?
To apply you’ll need a few documents ready. These are: copies of your passport and any previous UK visas; UKVI-approved Secure English Language Test (SELT) certificate or accepted equivalent; and academic transcripts (plus certified translations if the original transcripts are not in English). Don’t worry, though, we’ll help you at each stage so that you know you need to do and submit for your application!
What about my accommodation while I study?
You’ll need a home away from home when you study with us in the UK. With Kaplan Living, you can find your perfect student accommodation and live in a comfortable student residence with comprehensive wellbeing support. When you’re ready to book your accommodation, we can take you through the entire booking process.
Can I study my course online?
There are plenty of options for studying a degree preparation course online, so you can still progress to a fantastic university in the UK, even if you can’t travel for your pathways course. When you pass, you’ll then be able to transfer to the UK to start your degree. Just get in touch, and we can help you find the most suitable study option.
