- Starting too late. Popular courses and scholarships fill up early – begin at least 9–12 months before your intended intake.
- Applying to the wrong courses. Choose programmes that genuinely match your results and interests.
- A generic personal statement. Admissions teams can tell when a statement has been copied or not tailored.
- Ignoring the total cost. Plan for living costs, not just tuition.
- Incomplete documents. Missing transcripts or unclear scans delay decisions.
