STUDY ABROAD
Depending on the program and the University you are applying to, the entry requirements for international students vary. Many universities in the UK have set their entry requirements as per their preferences. Students are expected to fulfil the requirements of the course, as well as of the university as a whole. Consequently, it is advisable to thoroughly check the requirements of the University before applying since the acceptance of your application hinges on you fulfilling all the entry requirements. However, one common criterion throughout all programs and universities is the English language competency.
Language Proficiency
Almost all UK universities look for English language skills in the applicants. To apply to these universities, you need to exhibit excellent English language proficiency. Your English language competence is assessed based on various standardised tests like the IELTS, which is recognised by all UK universities. TOEFL or UCLES are less common tests in the UK but are recognised by few universities.

References
Owning to a huge number of applicants, the UK universities separate extraordinary applicants from good ones. If you have experiences that are relevant to the course you are applying for, then you will stand out and will have higher chances of getting into the college. Your experiences and references will invariably increase your score and add value to your application.
Qualifications and Grades
Before starting the application process, it is imperative to contact the university to know its exact requirements. Also, since you may not have been educated in the UK system, you will have to check with the university administration to find out the credentials you need to provide. The process has been simplified by the UK government with the introduction of UCAS (University and College Admission Service) which is a single point of contact for those wanting to pursue their higher education in the UK. Many students who wish to pursue their undergraduate studies from the UK choose this process for its efficacy.
Interviews
Interviews may not be the entry requirement at the UK, but they usually take place at the final stage of selection where the admission committee is interested to closely interact with the applicant to know more about his/her goals and motivations. Interviews are common at highly reputed universities in the UK.
