Law education provided in the UK is globally recognized and referred to as Common Law education, where general legal principles are taught. In the UK, there are also programs with dual diplomas such as PPL (Philosophy-Psychology-Law) or Business-Law. At Veritas, we recommend students applying to Law Faculties to take the LNAT exam.
Medical Education in the UK is among the most prestigious in the world, attracting applications from many countries. As a result, two types of entrance exams are administered: UKCAT and BMAT. Veritas offers preparatory courses for these exams to ensure students are well-equipped for success in their applications.
Engineering education in the UK is built upon a combination of the latest technologies and traditional engineering principles. Engineering departments are available at top universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, and UCL, which are considered among the best universities in the world. The most preferred schools admit students through programs like AP, IB, SAT, or A LEVEL.
The UK is home to leading universities in the fields of Economics and Business. There are opportunities for education in business and economics fields through interdisciplinary programs. Some schools accept applications based on factors such as school average and IELTS scores. However, for top-tier institutions, taking subject-specific or skill-based exams like AP, IB, A LEVEL, SAT, or ACT is necessary.
In our Consultancy Service for the UK, we begin by conducting a preliminary interview with the student to understand their interests and desired fields of study. If the student is unsure about their preferred program and university, we utilize various inventory and personality tests to determine their inclinations. Once we identify the most suitable schools and programs for the student, the application process begins. If the student has any academic gaps, we offer educational support to help them complete the necessary requirements. After gathering all required documents, the student, along with our dedicated international education consultant, initiates the application process through the UCAS system. Throughout the acceptance process, we continue our discussions with the student and provide guidance to help them shape their path.
We closely monitor all exams and application procedures for universities in the UK. We are here to assist you.
