Studying in the UK is an enormous opportunity
After having a wondering experience during my master’s at University of Nottingham, I decided to pursue a PhD in Biological Sciences at the Department of Biosciences, Durham University.
I chose Durham because I really liked the project that was advertised at Professor Przyborski Laboratory. Furthermore, the group has an excellent reputation in the field of Tissue Engineering.
Durham is a small town located in the North East very close to Newcastle. The prettiest things from Durham are the city centre and the botanic gardens. Furthermore, you can find lots of shops, restaurants and coffee shops in the city centre. Living there is very quiet and peaceful. For a night out, the best option is going to Newcastle, which is located 10 minutes by train.
On the other hand, Durham University is well ranked not only in the UK but also in the World. Also, it has 17 colleges that are responsible for the domestic arrangements and welfare of the students. Moreover, there are lots of activities within the University thanks to the many societies in Durham.
Depending on what you are studying, your day might be different from mine. In my case, a regular day for me is going to the Department for 6-9 hours to do lab work. After that, I usually go to the gym, attend to salsa and bachata lessons, or just hang out with friends to the pub or for a coffee. Talking about accommodation, the first year of my PhD, I used to live in a student accommodation. The following years, I got different private accommodations with different housemates.
Finally, studying in the UK is an enormous opportunity and experience that will help you to grow in every aspect of your life. However, there are some challenges to take into account. For example, the british food which is not 100 % great (my recommendation is to bring some food from your hometown, so you won’t miss it). Another tough part is when it gets dark around 4pm during wintertime. Nevertheless, studying and living in the UK is a unique experience that you will remember for the rest of your life.

I love the opportunity of being here, sharing knowledge and experiences
I love the opportunity of being here, sharing knowledge and experiences with my classmates from other countries, and learning about their manners. The security to be able to walk alone in the street, that in England they effort to avoid food wasting, in supermarkets or school cafeterias they reduce food prices when the expiration date is near.
Why did you choose this university?
Because is a university with a good level of research in nutrition sciences, and for all the green spaces that they have in all their campuses.
How do you find university life?
University life in UK is challenging, because the evaluation is very different from Mexico, mainly because of the grading scale.
What are you studying and why?
I’m studying a Master in Clinical Nutrition, because I want to improve the service and attention that I give to my patients, and the approach to manage the different disease that they could have.
Describe a typical day as a student/on your course
Usually I take classes in person between 2 and 3 days per week, for every class we have the slides and information about the topic of the day to review before the class. For my master, we are assessed with essays and systematic review, we have to read many articles. For classes we can have 2 or 3 professors which enrich the content of the classes due to their different experiences working as dieticians. I usually go to the gym or to swim, the days that I don’t go the school I go for my groceries, do some housecleaning or just go out for a coffee and a walk.
How is living in the UK different from home?
Is totally different, I feel that is like another world because the food and culture is totally different as in Mexico, talking about celebrations and the way that they cook, for the weather.
Tell us about the town/city and what you love about it!
Nottingham is a city with a lot of green areas, wherever you go, you will see green spaces and I love that. Night life is quiet, but you can find many different coffee shops and places to go to eat.
Tell us about your accommodation
My accommodation is a place for undergraduates and postgraduates students, now I’m staying at Broadgate Park in Beeston, in here you can find “en-suite” with your own kitchen and bathroom, a “twin en-suit room” for sharing with a roommate, and a normal room in which you will share the bathroom and kitchen with between 3 and 5 more. The staff in the reception and maintenance are kind. You will find different activities each day to meet other students in the common areas, is a big places with green spaces as well.
What do you do in your spare time?
Go for a walk, for a coffee or just stay in my flat watching Netflix or talking with my family and friends.
If English is not your first language, how did you find the transition into studying in English?
Sometimes is difficult to completely understand the meaning of some topics or to explain myself.
Is there anything else you´d have liked to know before you applied, started university or went to the UK?
I would like to know more about eating habits, and opening times of restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets.

Our advisors regularly visit the universities and help hundreds of students apply to a wide range of subjects every single year.

This is a very important part of the application and whether or not you get in may be decided based on this statement. Some universities and courses have additional requirements and expectations in terms of what they want to see here and it is very important that you adhere to these indications.

- One academic letter of recommendation if you are applying for undergraduate studies, and often two if you are applying for Master’s degree programmes. We have advice and tips that you can give to the person who will be writing this for you, so that together we ensure that they include all the information the UK universities are looking for. For postgraduate applicants you may also be required to submit your CV. Please note that how to write a CV for UK universities may differ from how they are expected to be written in your home country.
- Preliminary grades or final diploma (final diploma will be sent as soon as you have received it).
- Personal Statement. It is very important that it is you who has written your personal statement, but we will help you with what is important to include (or not include!) based on what and where you are hoping to study, in addition to proofreading it for you. This is a very important part of the application and whether or not you get in may be decided based on this statement. Some universities and courses have additional requirements and expectations in terms of what they want to see here and it is very important that you adhere to these indications. That's why we spend a lot of time making your personal statement as good as it can be.
- Note: Some courses will also require an audition, portfolio and other admissions tests.
DOES IT COST ANYTHING TO APPLY TO UK UNIVERSITIES?
When applying for undergraduate programmes, an application fee is required which is paid to the admissions service. In addition, some universities charge an application fee for some of the Master’s programmes they offer. These application fees are payable directly to the University or the University and Colleges Admissions Service and not to us. We will never ask for any payment or card information from you and all help from us is free of charge.
Some universities will require a deposit to secure your study place after you have been granted admission, this will later be deducted from the tuition fee. After you have been granted admission and your place has been confirmed, you will have to pay a fee to apply for a student visa in order to access healthcare in the UK during your studies. If you wish to live in the universities’ student housing you must apply to be allocated a room before the housing application deadline and once this has been processed you are often required to pay deposit to secure the accommodation. When you eventually enrol in the university, you will pay the tuition fee. Prices in the UK vary greatly and if you have any questions about the cost of studying in the UK, please get in touch. We are happy to help you find affordable options!

Applying to study in the UK can be tricky and confusing when doing things on your own. Take all of the stress out of the process by using Across the Pond’s free expertise and guidance. To help you on your way here are some things to be aware of:
APPLICATION DEADLINES FOR ADMISSION TO UK UNIVERSITIES
In the UK, admissions are mainly on a rolling basis – meaning it is "first come, first served" until the programme is filled. We therefore recommend that you apply as early as you can, and preferably before Christmas if you want to start your studies the following autumn. Exceptions: Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Sciences as well as all courses at the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, and also selected courses at master's level. Read more about the time of year you should apply to have the greatest chance of being granted admission.
HOW TO CHOOSE WHAT TO STUDY AND WHICH UNIVERSITY
Choosing what to study and which university to go to can be a very difficult process, especially when you may not be able to go and visit to find out which option you like best. Our advisors regularly visit the universities and help hundreds of students apply to a wide range of subjects every single year. They will be able to help you determine which universities and courses are best for you based on your academic background and the universities' minimum requirements, as well as your wishes and needs for what you would like your study experience to look like and cost.
