The process of applying for medicine, varies in different countries with many having centralised systems. In the UK is done through a centralised process called UCAS. It has strict deadlines and you need to apply by mid-October for entry the following year. Similarly the US has a centralised system with very strict deadlines. This is run by the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) and in the US applicants apply with an undergraduate degree. This differs a lot from Europe, where most students apply to study MBBS straight from school. You will also need to pass the MCAT test. We can help you navigate the process.

Art and Design Applications
In an interview by Uni Direct Professor Carlisle of Falmouth University describes that the growth of automation is leading to a surge of employment opportunities in the Creative Industries. This is not just in what we would normally class as 'art and design' sectors but across all sectors that will make up the workplace of the future. There has never been a better time to study an art and design degree.
Whilst the majority of our students who want to apply for art and design degree courses start through undertaking an art and design foundation diploma. There are options to apply straight to an art and design degree. You can do this if your art and design personal statement and portfolio and is of a high enough standard.
Our art and design specialists can help you decide which route is right for you. They will work with you to review your art and design personal statement and portfolio. Which will allow them to identify the most appropriate route and degree course.
As part of your application to study art and design, you will be expected to submit a diverse portfolio of your art and design work. Submitting a successful art portfolio requires specialist advice. This is key to ensure you both display the diversity of your work, and that it is presented in the correct format. This is particularly important for international students who are required to submit a digital art portfolio and those students looking to apply to top art and design universities.
Some of our students will apply for both art foundation diploma courses and degrees. We can support you with both options. If you decide to undertake an art and design foundation diploma, you should consider your longer-term progression on to an art and design degree course. Our specialists will help you do this, by helping you to map out your academic journey.
