# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These mean you've already met the entry requirements, so the place is yours if you want it! But first check the offer to see if there's anything else you need to do.

Check the offer carefully. Even if you've already got your qualifications and have met the academic requirements, you might still need to get a DBS or PVG check, provide proof of your results, or meet some financial/medical requirements. If it's not clear, contact the uni or college.

Remember, by accepting an unconditional offer, you are committing to go to that uni or college, so you can't make an insurance choice.

If you change your mind, you can decline your place and apply using Clearing.

If you're taking exams but have been made an unconditional offer, your results won't affect whether or not you get accepted. But, although your place won't be dependent on your grades, taking your exams is really important to prepare you for uni or college and could impact your future employment.

Some graduate employers take A levels and other qualifications into account when reviewing job applications, so it's important you take this into consideration when preparing for your exams.

Your consumer rights

You should have received specific information from your chosen universities to help you make an informed decision. They're required to make this available to you under consumer protection legislation - find out about the information you should receive.

Unsuccessful or withdrawn choices

A withdrawn application means a course choice has been withdrawn by either you or the university/college.

The reason will show up in on your application - maybe you didn't respond to emails/letters they sent, or missed an interview.

An unsuccessful application means they've decided not to offer you a place on the course.

Sometimes they'll give a reason, either with their decision or at a later date. If not, you can contact them to ask if they'll discuss the reason with you.

Don't worry if you don't get any offers though - you might be able to add extra choices now, or look for course availability later on.

Adding an Extra choice

You might be able to add another choice through our Extra service if you've received decisions from all five universities or colleges and weren't accepted, or if you declined the offers you received. Extra is a free service - available for you to apply to one course at a time between 25 February and 4 July. If Extra is available to you, it'll show up as an option when you sign in to track your application.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These are the types of reply you can make.

Firm acceptance - this is your first choice.

If it's an unconditional offer, the place is yours! So that course provider will expect you as their student.

Or if it's conditional, the place is yours if you meet the offer conditions. So just in case you don't, you can pick a second offer as a backup - your insurance acceptance.

Insurance acceptance - the back-up choice to a conditional firm acceptance.

If you're choosing an insurance, go for something with lower offer conditions - make sure it's somewhere you'd still be happy to go to though.

That way, if your results are lower than expected, you might still meet the conditions at your insurance choice; then you'd have your place confirmed there.

Remember, you'll only attend your insurance choice course if you don't meet the conditions of your firm choice, but you do meet the conditions of your insurance. You can't choose between your firm and insurance when you get your results, so make sure you're happy with which is your firm and which is your insurance before you reply.

Decline - you'll need to decline any other offers you get.

However, if you decide you don't want to accept any of the offers, you can decline them all and add more courses in our Extra service. Alternatively, you can see what courses still have vacancies later on in our Clearing service.

You can only accept one firm choice and one insurance choice (if you choose to have one). You must decline all other offers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Once you've had decisions from all the unis and colleges you applied to, you'll need to respond to those that made you offers using Track. Read on for info on what to do.

The Music Centre - Scholarships and Exhibitions

About

Award Detail

How to Apply

Open to UK and International.

A number of Music Scholarships are available each year, to encourage talented musicians to make Warwick their first choice for music-making and for a degree. There is no music degree at Warwick and hence these Scholarships are open to students from all subjects. Many Warwick music scholars have continued their musical education at colleges and conservatoires in the UK and abroad after obtaining a first degree in an unrelated discipline.

Eligibility Criteria:

Music Scholarship and Exhibition holders are expected to contribute heavily to the musical life of the campus. Scholarships are only given to students with exceptional musical ability so scholars will have a key role of playing to a high standard and inspiring the students they play alongside in their music-making. We also encourage scholars to take advantage of the excellent music tutors who work here.

Fee Status:

Home and Overseas

Back to top

Number of Awards Available:

Multiple.

Value of Awards:

Scholarship awards are currently £500 for each year of residence at Warwick. Exhibition awards are also £500 but these are for one year only.

You don’t need to apply before you start at Warwick. You can pick up an application form from the Music Centre office in Warwick Arts Centre in the first week of term or you can download a copy from our website nearer the time.

Auditions:

The auditions will take place in week 4 of the autumn term and the deadline for applying is normally in week 3. The audition will be about 10-15 mins long and is designed to allow candidates to demonstrate their potential as well as present level of achievement, and in particular their likely contribution to the musical activities of the Music Centre.

Candidates should choose and prepare two contrasting pieces of a total duration approx. 8 minutes. If offering two instruments or instrument and voice, one work should be prepared on each. Candidates will also have a chat with the audition panel (made up of Music Centre staff) about why they would like to become a scholar, how committed they are to music, and to allow the candidate time to talk about their musical background, interests and ambitions.

Immigration summary for nationals of United States of America
The immigration summary below is for nationals of United States of America applying from their home country. If you are a national of another country but living in United States of America, please contact your local visa application centre for further advice or refer to the UK Visa and Immigration website. The information provided should be used as guidance only. It has been taken from the UK Visas and Immigration website, which should be referred to in all immigration matters.

Please note from 31 May 2015, individuals applying from the United States of America for UK entry clearance of more than 6 months duration will no longer receive a visa vignette (sticker) inside their passport. Successful visa applicants will instead be issued with an official Home Office decision letter and their passport endorsed with a single-entry travel visa valid for 30 days which should be used to enter the UK. After arriving in the UK individuals will be required to collect a biometric residence card which features the full length of your visa.

When completing the Tier 4 (General) Student online application, you will be asked to provide an approximate date of travel and the postal code for the address where you will stay once in the UK. Your CAS will contain information as to how to use the ACL code to have your BRP card delivered to the University of Warwick (if you do not use the code, your BRP card will be delivered to a designated Post Office nearest to the post code provided). Your 30-day travel visa will be valid 7 days before the 'expected date of travel' you put on your visa application form, and you can arrive in the UK up to 1 month prior to your course start date. The Home Office decision letter will provide information on the full length of your visa, and details of where to collect the residence permit. You should carry this letter in hand luggage when you travel to the UK.

You can find more information about how to prepare for a Tier 4 visa application, including how to complete the online application form, what documents to prepare, and what documents to submit here: www.warwick.ac.uk/immigration/tier4
Is a visa required?
If you want to study in the UK, you must obtain a Tier 4 visa under the points-based system before you travel here.
Am I eligible for the 'Tier 4 Pilot' Scheme?
If you will be studying a Master's degree which is less than 13 months in length, once you accept an unconditional offer, your CAS should confirm if you are eligible for the 'Tier 4 Pilot' Scheme which means a much easier visa application process and a longer visa. Please visit www.warwick.ac.uk/immigration/tier4/applying/t4pilot for more information.
Is a Tuberculosis (TB) certificate required?
No, not required.
Am I considered a 'low risk' national by the UK Home Office?
Yes. Low risk nationals applying for a Tier 4 visa from their country of nationality (or in the UK) are not required to submit evidence of English language certificate, academic qualification, financial evidence and evidence of previous UK study (if any). You should, however, still prepare these documents in the event that they are requested by the Home Office UKVI. Please find more information here.
Am I required to supply a Police Registration Certificate?
Not required. However, check your visa/BRP card carefully when you receive them, as the Home Office UKVI can exceptionally impose a police registration condition to nationalities that do not normally require police registration, or, a visa officer might have imposed this condition by mistake. If your visa or BRP states that you should register with the Police, please get in touch with Immigration Service team so that they can check if it is an error for you: www.warwick.ac.uk/immigration/current/connect/form/
Will I need to have a credibility interview?
You may be asked to attend a short interview or take part in a telephone interview which will focus on your reasons for coming to the UK; this is known as a credibility interview. If asked to attend an interview you will be offered the first available interview date. The interview is usually conducted at the Visa Application Centre via Skype with an officer in the UK. A report of the interview will be sent to the visa officer who will consider it alongside your visa application and supporting documents.
Are you applying with dependants?
If you are considering bringing your family to Warwick, you should read this guidance www.warwick.ac.uk/immigration/dependants/
Further Guidance
If you require further guidance or information, including advice on what to do if your visa is refused, please see www.warwick.ac.uk/immigration

Agent - also known as or consultants or educational advisers, agents are representatives from around the world who represent UK universities and colleges, English language centres, or independent boarding schools. They typically have a contractual relationship with one or more course providers who pay them commission for each student placed on their courses.

Centre - a school, college, or organisation that can help students apply to higher education.

Changed course offer - in your application, you might get one of these if you haven't met your conditions, or if the university or college has made changes to the courses they run. It might involve a different start date or point of entry, or a different course altogether.

Choice - a choice is a course you apply for on your application - many students make multiple choices to increase their chances of getting a place.

Clearing - in a UCAS Undergraduate application, Clearing is another service you can use to look for alternative courses.

Extra - in a UCAS Undergraduate application, Extra is a service you can use to apply for alternative places if you do not hold an offer from your first five choices.

Fresher - slang term for students in their first year of university.

Firm choice - in your application, an offer you accept as your first choice.

Further education (FE) - the level of education you complete at school or college before you start higher education.

Gap year - a year typically taken after completion of secondary-level qualifications before starting a higher education course. During this year, students often travel, volunteer, or complete work experience.

HEP - a higher education provider - a university, college, or conservatoire.

Higher education (HE) - the level of education we can help you apply to - from undergraduate courses when you've finished further education, to postgraduate courses you can move on to after graduating from an undergraduate degree.

Invitation - in your application, you may receive an invitation from a university or college asking you to attend an interview or audition, or to provide a portfolio, essay, or another piece of work.

League tables - rankings of course providers - these can be an overall ranking, or listed by reputation, courses, or departments.

Personal ID or UCAS ID - the ten-digit number you get when you begin an application - displayed in 123-456-7890 format on every email we send you. You'll be asked for this if you get in touch with our Customer Experience Centre. Note: This number is not generated until you start an application.

Personal statement - a piece of text applicants write to show why they're applying and why they'd be a great student for a course provider to accept.

Point of entry - in your application, which year of the course you start at - for example '2' means you'd start in the second year of the course.

Postgraduate - higher education study for graduates who have already completed an undergraduate course.

Predicted grades - the grades a teacher, tutor, or other adviser qualified to remark on a student's academic suitability believes they will achieve when they complete their secondary qualification.

Sandwich course - a course with an additional year where you work in the profession you're studying for.

Scheme code - in your application, this is used along with your Personal ID to identify your application.

Tariff - the UCAS Tariff is the system for allocating points to the different qualifications you can use to get into undergraduate higher education. Not all qualifications will be included in the Tariff. It is for use in admissions only and is not transferable to the job market.

BA - a common abbreviation for a Bachelor of Arts degree.

CertHE - a Certificate of Higher Education is a higher education qualification offered in the UK, typically taking one year (full-time) or two years (part-time) study to complete.

DipHE - a Diploma in Higher Education is a higher education qualification offered in the UK, and generally awarded after two years of full-time study at a university or higher education provider.

First class honours - Most UK course providers use a degree classification system. First class honours, or a 'first', is the highest level degree classification awarded.

Higher National Certificate (HNC) - a vocationally-focused higher education qualification offered in the UK, usually taking one year to complete, and roughly equivalent to one year of university study.

Higher National Diploma (HND) - a vocationally-focused higher education qualification offered in the UK. Completion of an HND is considered equivalent to the second year of a three year degree course, and can often be used to gain entry to a university course.

Honours - for example an 'honours degree'. Most first degrees in higher education can come with 'honours'. It's not a grade as such - it just means it's possible to get your degree 'with honours', which would be an extra indication of quality. Check what you need to do to get honours - it might be getting a certain grade or submitting a good dissertation.

MA - the abbreviation for Master of Arts, which can mean two different things. Often it stands for Master of Arts, a postgraduate-level qualification. It can also be an undergraduate degree studied at one of the UK's ancient universities, such as the universities of St. Andrews, Oxford, and Cambridge.

National 4 and 5 - academic qualifications taken by students aged 14 -16 in Scotland.

Ordinary degree - generally a degree passed without honours. Some universities offer ordinary degree courses in their own right. Ordinary degrees can also be awarded to those students who do complete an honours degree course, but without achieving the conditions required to gain 'honours'.

Postgraduate research (PGR) - a research-intensive higher education course for graduates who have already completed an undergraduate course.

Postgraduate taught (PGT) - a higher education course for graduates who have already completed an undergraduate course - often including a variety of coursework, lectures, and seminars, etc., as well as a supervised dissertation, project, or thesis.

Sandwich course - the year of a course where you work in the profession you're studying for.

Second class honours - most UK universities and colleges use a degree classification system. The highest level is commonly called a 'first', with second class honours broken down into two further classifications - upper division (or 2:1), and lower division (2:2). A 2:1 - or upper second class honours - classification is often required for entry into many postgraduate courses in the UK.

Third class honours - most UK universities and colleges use a degree classification system. Third class honours is typically the lowest degree classification awarded by UK universities and colleges.
