A university or school prospectus is a document sent to potential (prospective) students to attract them to apply for admissions. It usually contains information about the institution and the available courses, including advice on how to apply and the benefits of accepting a place. Many universities have individual prospectuses for each course or group of courses that they offer. Most universities have both online and paper versions of prospectus, and they are divided into Undergraduate Prospectuses and Postgraduate Prospectuses. If asked, an application form can be sent.
