Different stages need different answers. Use the branch that matches your situation to
organise the next conversation, rather than treating a general description as a decision
about your eligibility.
I am exploring possible study directions.
Write what you hope to learn, the kind of programme you are considering and the
circumstances that shape your search. Keep interests separate from requirements you have
not yet verified.
I have identified a programme to investigate.
Find its official information and record which institution and programme the page concerns.
Note the questions the material answers and the points that need direct clarification.
I need an answer about my own background.
Prepare a concise description of the relevant background and the exact point you need
clarified. Use the institution’s actual contact process and share documents only through
the appropriate channel.
02 / A source trail
Know which source can answer which question.
An overview, a personal account and an official programme page have different jobs. Keep
the source and its scope with the answer in your notes.
Programme information
Record the actual institution and programme. Save the source reference and its date or
version where available.
A direct clarification
Keep the question you asked with the response. Note any conditions or further information
requested.
Your working interpretation
Mark what you infer from the material. Do not let a summary become an apparent official
answer.
A specialist question
Identify the responsible official source or appropriately qualified adviser where the issue
falls outside general programme research.
03 / An illustrative question packet
Make it easy to understand what you need.
This is a constructed preparation record, not an application, message sent to an
institution or assessment of a person’s circumstances.
A clear question about a programme
Context

Use the institution’s actual process. This site does not collect documents or contact an
institution for you.
