to select one firm choice and one insurance choice , declining the rest . Unfortunately , not everyone comes away with the desired result . Perhaps the application fell at the first hurdle , and a top choice declined their application . Or maybe a conditional offer — one based on the student achieving a particular set of results — was revoked when the student failed to meet predicted grades .
Though no guarantees can be made in these circumstances , Consortium UK is on hand to negotiate with the universities on behalf of the student or offer strong alternatives . Moseley , who has been working in the education sector for 25 years , explains : “ Ideally , students would come to a university representative in their country before they reach the UCAS submission stage to give themselves the best chance of getting that initial offer .” Beyond this , Consortium UK are still able to provide valuable assistance .
Last year , Consortium UK was helping a student who had an offer to study electrical engineering at the University of Bath . When the student didn ’ t meet the conditions of that offer , Moseley stepped in . “ Though they weren ’ t able to provide him a place on that particular course ,” Moseley says , “ I was able to negotiate a place for him
on another similar course at the same university that was almost identical to his first choice , bar a few modules .”
