If you want to go to a university, you usually apply during your last year at school, when you are 17-18.
You can apply to study at any university in Britain and most people choose a university that is not in their own
town. So university students usually live away from home. Students get a grant from the government to study.
At the beginning of your last year at school, you receive an application form. On this form you choose up to
five universities that you would like to go to. The form is sent to those universities with information from your
school about you and your academic record. If the universities are interested in your application, they will ask
you to attend an interview. If they are still interested, they will offer you a place.
Any other, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take place several
months before students do the A-level examinations. These are the exams that you do at the end of your time at
school. So, when a university makes an offer, it will tell you the minimum grades that you will have to get when
you do you’re A-exams. If you don’t get those grades, then, you will not be able to accept the place. It will be
offered to someone else and you must apply again to another university. You don’t have to accept your place
immediately. Some students don’t want to go straight from school to university. So, after they have taken their
A-level, they take a year out to work or travel.
