When choosing the UK for your higher education there are a number of considerations to make for how you should prepare. University can be a hugely rewarding experience and is an exciting opportunity to gain new knowledge. It can also be a difficult and stressful time without the correct preparations. With these top tips it’ll be easy to study in the UK and start your new journey!
Learn about your new local Area!
Moving to a new city can be a daunting prospect so it’s best to find out as much as possible before you make the leap! From Google Maps to Trip Advisor, to social media, having a better understanding of the area you’re moving to will make your first weeks and months easier to handle. Knowing where the nearest supermarket can be a life saver and knowing your university’s social spaces is a great way to make friends.
Catch up on reading
Most courses will have a set reading list to help introduce students to the material. Getting a head start will make your first few weeks easier as you won’t need to stress about keeping up with course material and you’ll be in a much better position to begin learning straight away.
Read up on your university’s services
Studying at university can be a stressful time and it’s important to know what resources your chosen institution has on offer to help you. Mental health is an important factor to keep in mind and universities will offer a range of services to help keep yours intact during your university experience.
Get involved with your student union!
Every university will have a student union, an organisation run for and by the student body. These organisations will run events for students and are a great way to make new friends and explore new hobbies. Check out your universities website and see what types of events they have on offer and if there are any societies you might be interested in too connect with like-minded people.
Figure out your budget
Studying in the UK can be a costly endeavour and before you start it’s good to understand how much things will cost. Planning out a budget for your first few weeks will help you get accustomed to prices in the UK and what’s available to buy.
Studying in the UK is an exciting opportunity to gain new skills and increased knowledge. While it can be daunting to live in a new country, with these top tips you’ll be right at home in no time.
