(2020·广东深圳高三统一测试)An increasing number of students worldwide are considering studying abroad.The application process varies from country to country.If you're looking for a university with a strong international outlook but feel swept over by all the application options，here is some guidance to get you started.
UK
International students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas.This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application.It costs ￡20 for a single choice or ￡25 for more than one choice.
The application consists of a series of questions to determine the student's schooling and predicted grades.The biggest part of the application form is the personal statement，in which applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences.
Switzerland
Switzerland has four official languages and is bordered by five countries so it is no surprise that its universities are among the most international in the world.International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate，and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language，usually through taking a language exam.The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for holders of foreign diplomas.
Canada
International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application，which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application.Students will also have to prove their Englishlanguage competency—there are nine ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard，which are listed on many university websites.
Singapore
The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike，but overseas students may be delighted to find that the domestic applicants have to cover the same procedures：filling out an online application form and submit identification documents，supporting documents and an application fee of $ 20.
