im wondering what you'd basically do to study abroad, i wanna go to college in england but i dunno how to go about it & i wanna know how to know more, i was thinking maybe somewhere in the yorkshire/london area??? help if you can pls.

Answer 1

I am assuming that by college you mean university. Find out what sort of prior preparation English universities expect of you. Within England you need to take what are called A level exams. Requirements for foreign students may be different. You may wish to talk to someone who has already studied in England. York and Leeds are two well known universities in Yorkshire. Hull University is pretty good and may be less competitive than either of those: it depends on how good a student you are. London teems with universities. London University and its top institutions (University College, Bedford, Goldsmith) are probably the best. Corresponding to Hull, there are Westminster University and the University of the South Bank, in London. Google them to get a preliminary idea, and then perhaps request catalogues from them. You could visit the British Council in your town, for they are likely to have information as well as books. Go to the university where you are and consult their Study Abroad Division. There are Handbooks of Commonwealth Universities, from which you can get information about English ones. Tuition is another factor: these days students from abroad get charged quite a bit. You may be able to work part-time but this has to be arranged, depending on the sort of visa. Different universities are particularly strong in different subjects: investigate this. And then you will fill out your application, with supporting materials, which will take time and thought.

Answer 2

Look at schools here via the internet and see if you see some that interest you and what you want to study. Then see what their international studies area looks like. More than likely they will have information about what to do if you want to study at their school.
Kingston.ac.uk is a really good university, just on the outskirts of London with a fantastic study abroad program. Check it out.

step through step Galway. i have been there two times yet purely as a shopper. do not evaluate my opinion because the perfect yet to be straightforward I loved the ambience. that is a effective city yet small somewhat. Lancaster, Sorry i have under no circumstances been there "My boyfriend, who lived in London for 3 years, is attempting to cajole me to stay out of britain. He reported that each and each body is rude and obnoxious, and it become if truth be told a depressing position to stay" ============================= it is a blanket fact. I stay in London and it isn't a foul position. some human beings would locate it chilly, impersonal, perplexing to get round given its wide length... yet i have self belief see you later as you get some contacts each little thing will be positive. when I moved to London i become moaning about each little thing and each body. yet after some months each little thing become purely positive and primary. you also did not specify the position do you come back from? It does actual count number. F.e when you're from the U. S. you'll experience perhaps a great lifestyle wonder. when you're French, it will be a lot less stressful so that you'll get alongside with the distinct ecosystem. I ought to allow you to keep in mind that folk right here in Europe stay in yet otherwise, imagine in yet otherwise and promises priorities to different issues when compared with an American, Australian and so on and so on... To be straightforward with you, it will be more suitable to set a distinct priority. Which college is the perfect. the ecosystem comes 2d. yet another good determination will be Dublin as well.

Answer 4

I studied abroad in the UK twice, once for a semester, and another for an entire year.

If you want a degree from a UK Uni, then you need to do research, contact various schools, and ask about their policy. Usually, I've found they are happy to have qualified Americans/non UK-ers, because more tuition can be charged for the school.

If you just want to study abroad a year or two, there is a great way to do it. If you live in CA, go to a state school. Every good CSU should have a study abroad office. There are amazing study abroad programs at the CSU level, some you study with your own professors, others you study as a student at the university. I studied at the University of Wales, Swansea, under their professors and with their student population. I recieved grades and credits through them and my home school. In fact, I received double credits for the CSU, because for some reason they think it is harder in the UK (it's not, just different, but they may also depend on your subject matter).

I also studied at the Uni of London, but in combination with thier profs and my own CSUs. Wales was better, more authentic.

The cool thing about going through the CSU, is that the cost for you to study abroad is reduced because the CSU--and state fundings; etc.--cover a large portion of the costs. It was five years ago, but I only paid a two thousand over my regular tuition (for room & board), and I still recieved financial aid.

I know other state schools in different states have great programs, but you'd have to investigate.

Private universities in U.S. also have study abroad programs, but the cost may be significantly higher. I'm in a private grad school now, but don't see how the higher tuition translates into more advanced education. Studying abroad on any level is one of the most fruitful educational experiences ever.

So, that's a couple of ways to do it. But lots of kids go over to the UK as UK students only. And the Unis seem very open to discussing the process of admittance with overseas students.

Good luck, have fun, and at all costs avoid the temptation to hang out with just Americans--abandon your comfort zone.

And one more thing. Think about your career plans. My program was English. I learned while I was abroad that an English degree SOLELY from a UK uni was not always sufficient for Grad School applications in the US. This is because the typical English program is only 3 years, (vs US 4 yrs), and while has longer seminars on certain subjects, covers less of a range of literature study. Masters in the UK for English are also often only 1 yr, vs. 2 yrs in the US, and Doctorates in English are typically 2 years, vs. 3-5 in the US. So, if you know you want to go to an American Grad school (or German or whatever), and you know you want a certain level of employability in your home country based on your degree, be sure to also investigate the VALUE of the degree you are earning. Some subjects may actually be more rigorous in the UK program, but English I"ve found is not.

If you go through a program through your home country (like the CSU), then you have nothing to worry about. But if you are solely admitted as a UK uni student, investigate.

Hope this helps.
