Specialist in International Students of the University of Sussex
What advice would you give to potential students before applying to an university?
Be proactive and start your application early, ideally almost a year in advance. Seek recommendations from your teachers and academic advisors. The earlier you apply, the more time universities have to consider your application, and the more time you have to explore your options and make an informed decision.
