University &amp; Chosen Programme of Study\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do would be to decide on a university &amp;&nbsp;programme&nbsp;of choice. We have a simple breakdown of how best to pick a suitable course and university here. You should plan to apply to more than one school, just to have more options to choose from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-admission-intakes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Admission_Intakes%E2%80%AF\"><\/span><strong>2. Admission Intakes\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next would be to decide on what intake in the year you want to apply for, the number of intakes varies per school &#8211; January\/February, June\/July, September\/October, and the most popular intake being the January\/September due to the high number of courses available at that time.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As earlier mentioned, some courses have varying intakes within the year, for example- Nursing, Business &amp; Entrepreneurial courses in some of our partner universities have intakes in January, March, May &amp; September, and these intakes are usually highly competitive, so it\u2019s important to put your best foot forward when applying.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-application-deadlines\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Application_Deadlines\"><\/span><strong>3. Application Deadlines\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing to take note of is your application deadline, check your university\u2019s website, ask your\u00a0advisor, and start planning towards it. It\u2019s also best to start applying 8 months before the resumption date.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-required-documents\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Required_Documents%E2%80%AF\"><\/span><strong>4. Required Documents\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most&nbsp;universities would ask for the following documents- Degree Certificate, Transcript, Personal statement, KCSE results, IELTS\/GMAT\/GRE (if applicable), Resume, Reference letters, other certifications, etc.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you haven\u2019t gotten some of your documents, like your certificate, you can still go ahead to apply. The university can give you a conditional offer, pending the time you submit your complete documents to them.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to start getting your visa documentation ready (Tuberculosis test, bank statements, etc.) as you wait for an offer from the university. Remember, the sooner you get an offer from the university of your choice, the sooner you can start your travel plans.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, there\u2019s the other part of applying to study abroad that many people try to evade, and that\u2019s the time-consuming part of the application process, especially when applying for the first time.&nbsp;Therefore,&nbsp;so many students would rather engage in the free application services that&nbsp;Intake Education&nbsp;offers.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lastly, a fun fact about&nbsp;Intake Education<\/strong>:&nbsp;we work with over 300 universities across multiple study-abroad destinations across the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia &amp; Germany, therefore we can take you through the entire application process with no hassle.\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not start now? <a class=\"article-body-links\"href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/zPUEhKBX79K3bi3t8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get a dedicated\u00a0Advisor\u00a0to\u00a0get started\u00a0with your application process at no fee.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Explore the application process for studying abroad with the help of Intake Education.
