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 after the interview, they will offer you a place.
Any offer, however, is only conditional at this stage. Applications and interviews take
place several months before students do their 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 your A-level exams. If you don obtain
those grades, then, you will not be able to get the place. It will be offered to someon else and you
must apply again to another university. You don’t have to accept your plat immediately. Some
students don’t want to go straight from school to university. So, after the have taken their A-
level, they take a year out to work or travel.
