Abu Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 When you submit your UCAS form, that allows you to apply for 5 universities in the UK at once, it has a section entitled Reference. In the reference section, your nominated teacher of choice can write a recommendation for you.The US and UK university system is very different. Very very different.

deissi Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 So I cannot send a reference from someone who knows me, but isn't my teacher? No. The British system is not like the American system . They don't care if you know somebody important because it doesn't actually tell whether you're an apt candidate or not. Instead they want that a teacher of yours writes it, so that they'll find out more about your academic side, your effort etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue saint-denis Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Can anyone advise me on whether or not I should choose the Joint Honours program at Newcastle Uni for Biology and Psychology, or if I should just go with plain psychology?
