I'm looking into applying to Edinburgh Napier University as an international student but having trouble locating their application form. Does anyone know where I can find it, or if there are any specific requirements I should be aware of?
Edinburgh Napier University doesn't have a separate application form for international students. Rather, the university uses the online Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), like many other UK universities.
UCAS allows you to apply to multiple UK universities at once. Once you've created an account, you will be able to search for Edinburgh Napier University, choose your desired course, and start the application process.
Even though there's no separate application form, there are some specific requirements international students should be aware of:
1. Minimum Academic Requirements: These vary depending on the course you apply for. You should check the university's course descriptions for details.
2. English Language Proficiency: You will need to demonstrate English proficiency through a recognized test such as IELTS, TOEFL, or another English Language test. The specific score you'll need will depend on your course.
3. Transcripts: You must provide official transcripts of your previous education. If your original documents aren't in English, you must provide professionally translated copies as well.
4. Reference Letters: You will be required to provide a reference as part of your UCAS application. This could be an academic or professional reference, depending on your circumstances.
5. Personal Statement: In your UCAS application, you will be asked to include a personal statement where you detail your interest in the course and why you're a fit.
Before you apply through UCAS, I would recommend reaching out to the international office at Edinburgh Napier University. They can provide you with specific guidance related to your application and further information on what is expected from international students.
