•Les 24 universités du Russell Group font partie des universités les mieux classées
•Elles ne sont pas forcément le meilleur choix - par exemple :
• Bath et St Andrew's et Loughborough sont dans le top 4 pour les études de commerce et de gestion (ref. The
Complete University Guide) mais ne sont pas dans le Russell Group.
• 4 (St Andrew’s, Bath, Loughborough, Lancaster) sont parmi les 10 meilleures du The Guardian University League
Tables 2021
• De nombreuses universités qui sont parmi les mieux classées ne font pas partie du Russell Group pour certains types
de formations, par exemple, les études de Création Artistique, de santé ou encore du journalism.

points de vigilance
➢ Un besoin d’autonomie :
o Des structures pédagogiques et un rhytme de travail très different du
“système français”

0UK: What Happens Post-
Application?
➢Before January 15th 2022
o The UCAS coordinator will validate applications and send them off to UCAS
o This can only be done once the UCAS form has been entirely completed and
payment made
➢For March 31st 2022
o Applicants should receive offers from some or all universities selected
o This is not guaranteed, however, and students without offers should make an
appointment with the UCAS advisor to look at alternatives, such as UCAS EXTRA
o Universities will make conditional offers. This means the overall grade a university
will require an applicant to get at the baccalaureate as well as, in some cases, grades
for specific subjects
2 o See next slide for some more non-contractual information to help you make choices.
1UK: What Happens Post-
Application?
➢For May 5th 2022
o Students reply to UCAS, accepting two offers, a “firm” acceptance and an “insurance” acceptance
o Students decline all other offers
➢When the Results Come Out
o Applicants may get a place on both choices, depending how well their exams go. They can then
confirm their firm and reject their insurance choice
o Applicants may not get their firm choice grades but do well enough to accept their insurance choice
o Applicants may not get either firm or insurance offers but be offered an alternative by the
university/college – a 'changed course offer' (which they'll need to accept or decline)
o Applicants may not get a place, but they can search through the UCAS Clearing service to see what
courses still have vacancies. In this case, it is strongly advised to make an appointment with the UCAS
coordinator
o Applicants may do better than expected and consider a new, more ambitious choice altogether
