1、根據自身的評估初步選校
就是學生通過自己的學歷、資金、年齡、發展方向，興趣愛好，能力和資質等去初步選擇喜歡的院校。(並確定留學國家的入學要求，申請時間，申請條件，成績要求，學校資訊等)
2、寄送材料
向選擇的院校提交相關申請材料，學生可以在大使館網頁上下載或者免費領取，也可以通過郵件，郵箱，傳真等方式向學校索要。準備好申請相關材料，並在規定時間內發到學校，包括，學歷，學位證明，成績單，標準化考試成績，推薦信，經濟證明等相關材料。提交之後等待學校的錄取。
3、辦理護照
憑錄取通知書去當地公安局辦理護照，一般應同時隨身帶戶口本、身份證等。
4、申請簽證
學生可以在相關申請國家領區範圍內申請留學簽證，也可以找簽證機構去辦理。但是學生必須注意一點，就如果申請簽證失敗之後，之前的`努力都會白白浪費，所以學生對簽證一定要重視起來，做好充分準備。
5、購買機票
行程確定後，至少要提前一個月預訂，出發前3至7天出票。因為即使預訂好的機票，如果航班緊張，航空公司有權取消仍未出票的電腦預訂。從經濟實惠的角度出發，宜選國航、東航與南航。
6、準備行裝、登機出國
購買經濟艙機票可免費攜帶20kg行李，若超過該標準，每超1公斤就得按票面價的5%支付“行李託運費”。以去東京為例，超1公斤行李就要付600多元人民幣，實在不划算，所以可以將最佔分量的書籍多餘的衣服先通過託運出去省錢很多。
留學一年要花多少錢
一、準備階段要花的費用：
考試費用：出國前首先要準備託福或雅思考試，雅思考試費用1750元。不需要面試的託福也將和雅思考試形式一致。
外語培訓費：考試以前的外語培訓費平均20xx元左右，但因人而異。如大學生本身就有英語基礎，可能幾百塊錢就夠了;高中生的花費當然要高很多。其他人員標準各異。
院校申請：國外相當多的大學需要收申請人的院校申請費，收了這筆錢後，大學才會對申請人的材料進行評審和評估。因為需要耗費它的人力，這筆錢多少不等，平均下來每所也有100美元左右。如美國的學校是50-100美元/所;英國有的收有的不收，一收就是100英鎊;歐洲國家的院校是按照歐元來收，最高100歐元/所，最低50歐元/所。如果每個人平均申請5所學校，每所學校要準備100美元的申請費，人民幣就約3000元。
郵寄費：把材料郵寄到學校還要花郵寄費，每份特快專遞費200元，僅5個專遞費就是1000元。
簽證費：國家和國家不一樣，但不論哪個國家第一次拒籤後不僅費用不退，第二次再籤時還要照單付賬。
二、中期的花費：
保險費：拿到簽證以後，往往需要買保險。各國保險不一樣，如英國的保險和學費打包，不需要額外買。美國、澳大利亞、加拿大則需要先交保險費，健康、醫療等加起來差不多在400-500美元之間/年。
路費：飛機票單程一般4000元左右;
裝置：自帶膝上型電腦，配置恰當需1萬元左右;
生活必用品：常備藥品、學習用品、廚具如電飯煲之類需20xx元左右;行李不能超重，否則還要加收費用。
三、國外需要的花費：
學費：已開發國家英、美、澳、加的學費平均一年8萬元;生活費至少也應該是8萬元/年，基本上生活費和學費是一半一半，合計每年16萬元。學費中有的大學含教材，有的不含，如果要額外追加教材費的話，估計4000元人民幣都不多。
Due to the comprehensiveness of China’s “re
form and open” policies, economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position. Though more and more companies built, management of companies cannot catch up with the development of the companies. Management is a burgeoning field in China, so I hope I can acquire more modern knowledge on management in England.
The roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to my childhood. My father was among the first of China’s new breed of modern entrepreneurs. As a young girl, it was inspirational hearing about his business ventures, and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs. My mother was also involved in business as an accountant, helping him with simple calculations. And so it was early in my life that I hoped I, also, would someday be able to enter the realm of business.
With the time of growing up, I preferred reading books to satisfy my curiosity. I never ceased to contemplate over the questions I encountered. Subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and my knowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasing rapidly.
As a high school student in China, I had to concentrate on the College Entrance Examination (CEE), even so, books not related to the exams were never excluded from my life. Unfortunately when sitting in the exam in June, I was so nervous that I didn’t score well in the CEE exam. I enrolled in the department of Computer Science in Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be a failure at the beginning of my college life. After several terms, I realized that I would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer. At that moment, I lost my direction and objectives.
My persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed reading the books included Encyclopedia American, and some books about management by Peter ker. I began to notice something interesting: Why some companies can produce more than others? Why some company can sell more than others? Why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing the same difficulties?
With the questions in my mind, I started to read many relevant books. I was lucky to read the book “Jack: Straight from the Gut”by Jack Welch, in Which John A. Byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for a company. When I was a junior, I ran a bookshop by myself near my school. I should manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shop even made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the run the shop. From this, my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business has been greatly developed, definitely I was increasingly interested in what I was doing. By December, 2I had finally determined to take business management as my career instead of IT. To accumulate more relevant knowledge, I strived to gain more practical work experience in some big companies.
Fortunately, as a senior, I began by conducting an internship in the Architecture Company in Zhejiang Province. Over six months, I worked as an assistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the different departments in this company and to draft some management system, which broadened my perspective of management conditions and business performance in different industries. The experience showed me that management is much more important than that of I thought in big companies. After graduation, I continued my work in this company. In May, the company offered me an opportunity to participate in an training program held by a famous management school. Through in-depth discussions with teachers and students in the classes, they all encouraged me to pursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual ability and the brand new ideas I mentioned.
During the short period of training, I realized that pursuing a higher degree in management is a wise choice for me now. Lancaster, with its excellence in management, represents the perfect fit for my needs. In your challenging environment, I can build the required foundation of knowledge related to management to achieve my goals. I am firmly convinced that your admission will be my first step of success. With this in mind, I hereby submit my application, and await your favorable reply.
