How to apply to Study at U.S Universities from the United Kingdom
As a citizen of the United Kingdom, you are encouraged to study abroad in countries like the United States of America, Australia, and of course the United Kingdom. Studying in Australia is a great option for UK students looking to have the same education system but in very different geographic conditions; however, the number one destination for international students from the United Kingdom (UK) looking to study abroad in the United States of America. Applying to study at U.S. universities in the UK can be a complicated process for many UK international students, here you will find a step-by-step process on how to begin your application for a U.S. university in the United Kingdom and how we can help you with the entire process.
Step One / Research
As a citizen of the UK, the first thing you need to do is decide which major or degree you wish to study, international students from the UK have a great interest in majors in engineering, business, and as well as liberal arts. Deciding which major you wish to study is very important because not all the universities in the USA offer the same majors and some universities do not offer engineering or technology programs. Finding the universities that offer the degree you want to study can be complicated which is why we created a tool that will allow you to find the university that offers the program you wish to study.
As an international student from the UK chances are that you have a friend or know a friend that is studying at a university in the USA, your friends can be a great resource of information and they can provide you with valuable information. Learning about their mistakes, and their recommendations, can be helpful in choosing the location or university you wish to study while you are in the United States of America. While hearing from a friend is important, understand that every student is different and you need to decide ultimately what you think is the best option for you.
Step Two / Speak with an EduBookings.com Advisor
Once you have a list of majors, cities, or preferences of the university you want to study in the USA, it is time to book a free online appointment with one of our education advisors. Our education advisors have been working with international students from the UK for many years and we have helped hundreds of international students from the UK with the application process to study at universities in the USA. The advisor will be able to answer all your questions, make recommendations, look at your academic background, and even begin the application process. Since the education system in the UK is quite different from the U.S. system, it is always a good idea to speak with an education advisor or an education agency.
Meeting with one of our advisors is quite easy and you can do so from the comfort of your home, all you need is a computer with internet that has a microphone like a laptop and you will be able to connect with one of our advisors when is most convenient for you, from the comfort of you home. It is also a good idea to have copies of your academic transcripts, and given that you are a citizen of the UK, you do not need any English proficiency exams which are usually required for other international students, as well as your resume if you are applying for a master’s degree.
Step Three / Submit your application
Once you and your Edubookings advisor have decided on a university in the USA and the degree program you want to study, you will need to book another online meeting to begin your application process. One of the reasons why so many international students from all over the world as well as international students from the United Kingdom love to work with EduBookings.com is our application system.

It is important that you read and check your account constantly and check all the notifications you receive on your phone via the mobile app. Once the application process is completed and we have received all the decisions from the different universities, you receive your acceptance letters, this is when it is time to choose which university you want to attend, this is a great opportunity to schedule another appointment with an Edubookings academic advisor, so they can answer any final questions you may have and help you choose from the universities you have been accepted in the USA. As a student from the United Kingdom, the academic advisor will focus on helping you choose the university that will accommodate your priorities, also recommend the ones we have helped secure the biggest academic scholarships, and even begin your confirmation process.
As part of your confirmation process, most universities in the USA will require a tuition deposit payment; this payment can vary anywhere from 300 dollars to 2000 dollars and it really varies depending on the university. If you or your UK family will be paying for your education in the USA, you will need to pay this deposit to the university you have chosen for your university studies. Once this part of the process is done, the university will issue your I-20 form, so we can begin your student visa process.
Step Five / Apply for a Student Visa
Once you receive your I-20 form in the mail or via email, you are now ready to begin your student visa application and become an international student. In the United Kingdom appointments for a student visa are generally quite fast and they tend to be only one to two weeks out from the date you begin your visa applications.
