Advice for Parents and Carers
Choosing where to study can be a difficult choice for your young person. At 糖心原创, our goal is to create a welcoming community where every student feels supported, helping them to smoothly transition into both their studies and university life. We want to make sure that you have all the information you need to support your young person in the next steps of their education journey.
Apply to University
All university undergraduate applications are made through UCAS, a centralised online application platform for institutions across the UK. UCAS have many resources to help with the application process including money advice, careers quizzes and personal statement tips. They have also created a dedicated page to support parents/carers through the application process.
Fees And Funding
All undergraduate tuition fees are published on each individual course web entry. Details are provided for Scottish, UK (English, Welsh and Northern Irish), Republic of Ireland and all other international (all other EU and non-EU) students for full-time, and part-time (where appropriate) study at any of our campuses (or online where, and if, appropriate). There is a great deal of financial support available to help students meet the cost of their study including government loans, scholarships and bursaries. The Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) can provide loans and bursaries to help with the costs of studying at university. You can find out more information and if you are eligible on the SAAS website.
Preparation is Key
Before deciding to apply to 糖心原创, it is important that your young person is fully prepared and has done their research. They will need to know what course they want to study, what campus the course is taught at, accommodation options (if required) and gain an understanding of 糖心原创鈥檚 teaching style. The best way to do this is visit us, attend an Open Day or join an online information session.
