Applying

Advanced Entry to UK Undergraduate Programmes

Some Taiwan students may be eligible for advanced entry onto undergraduate degree programmes at British institutions. Typically they will be junior college graduates or students wanting to finish their undergraduate degrees overseas having begun them at Taiwan universities. However, some high school graduates with exceptional work experience may be eligible for creditable entry.

Advanced entry applications are made through UCAS the same as normal first year entry applications, however it is prudent to enter into negotiations with the British institution before putting in the formal UCAS application. This way you can ensure you will be given credit for your previous study and you are not wasting one of the places on your UCAS application form.

UKEAS provide first class advice and FREE help with advanced entry placements. Applications are the same as normal first year applications, only it is necessary to provide extra detail on credit for previous study. Without specific detail it is very hard for the UK institution to judge how much credit is due and whether the student is eligible to enter into year one, year two or year three (or year four in the case of Scottish institution). Once detailed information has been obtained, UKEAS can negotiate with the institution of your choice to see whether advanced entry is an option.

Courses popular for Taiwan students applying for advanced entry are business, management, computer science, tourism and hospitality management.
