Applications to enter British universities should be submitted a year before the course starts and overseas students will need IELTS over 6.0. Applications are made by filling in a UCAS form (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). This includes all academic achievements, final/predicted grades, a brief description of the applicants goals and future plans and a list of no more than 6 preferred universities in alphabetical order. Your school should enclose references upon application. The universities applied for will then consider your application.
