   The Application Window

   • Certified Translations: Since your original school documents are likely in Uzbek, you must remember to get certified English translations of your transcripts.
   • Recommendation Letters: It is a good idea to reach out to a professor or a manager at work to ask for a letter of support that highlights your character.
   • Postgraduate Direct Applications: For postgraduate degrees, our team can help you apply directly through the university portals to ensure your paperwork is correct.
   • Undergraduate (UCAS) Submissions: If you are pursuing a bachelor's degree, you will send your application through the central UCAS system to your top university choices.
