What is a buzzword?
A buzzword is a word or phrase that is chosen by your school, college or centre. Your tutor or adviser will give you the buzzword, which you will need when you register for Apply. It links your application to the school, college or centre, so that your tutor or adviser can check your application and write your reference. Once you have registered, you will not need to use it again.
