A common question most of the Bangladeshi students ask is how to apply for admission at UK Universities and what documents to submit & which information to provide.

Universities in the UK process admission via UCAS, UKPASS, Central Applications Board (CAB) & BarSAS for certain Law courses, direct application via email, online application system and through education agents.

For students, it is imperative to know the process and requirements as applying through incorrect channel or submitting incomplete or inappropriate documents or information often results in failure to secure an offer or delay in offer or non-response. If you are not sure about it, you should consider taking professional help and supports.

British Council trained professional educations consultants of Total Student Care (TSC) can maximise your chance for admission at Universities by giving you appropriate professional advice on the admission process and helping you to submit error-free application with relevant and required documents and information.
