Study in England

Education in England can get everyone. In English schools and universities, they are very loyal to foreign students. In addition, there are programs that allow moonlighting during training. So, the student is allowed to worknot more than 20 hours per week. During holidays and holidays, you can work indefinitely. This is very important, since life in England, and especially London, is very expensive. Therefore, without additional income can not do.

What is training in the UK? The system of study abroad differs from that to which we are accustomed. Initially, all education in England is divided into 3stage: preparatory education for admission to school (children from 4 to 8 years), primary school (from 8 to 11 years) and secondary school (from 11 to 18 years). At the end of the secondary school, they take an exam and get a GCSE diploma - General Certificate of Secondary Education. With this diploma, you can immediately go to college and continue your education. But if there are plans to enter the university, it will take two more years to complete the A-Level program. This program provides for 4-5 disciplines, on which the specialization in the university is based. Only after the end of the A-Level program can we talk about enrolling in a university.

But this system of education in England is validfor the English or those who decided to teach their child in the territory of the United Kingdom from the very beginning. For foreign students studying in England looks a little different.

To begin with, all foreign applicants should take care of the availability equivalent to the English certificate of secondary education, also needed certificate of knowledge of English. Further it is required to fill in the one developed by the Central Bureau of Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) application for admission to the university. Admission to the university of foreign applicants is alsois carried out according to the A-Level score. But if you want to go to Cambridge or Oxford, then you need to pass the A-Level certificate not only to the highest scores, but also to pass an interview or take the entrance exams.

As you can see, the entrants in any case will have to study for two more years in a private school for passing the certificate A-Level. But you can also go a little different way and pass a pre-university program University Foundation Program, or UFP, which lasts only 1 year, but upon its completion all universities of Great Britain will be open before you. You can also select a program International Baccalaureate. After the end of this program, not only the doors of all universities of England, but also all over the world are open before the entrant.

Foreigners are not only available in schools in England, but also in various other programs. The most famous of them is English language courses. You can attend them while studying at schoolor just go to tighten up your English. Usually the minimum period of study lasts 2 weeks. Depending on your goals and age, you can always find suitable courses for yourself (business English, family, business courses, summer language camp for children).
