Are there any full scholarships offered? If so, what is the basic criteria needed to receive a full scholarship?
Quote: from Permious at 12:07 am on July 11, 2008 i think you need to realise that only your own country will actually want to make sure you get an education being able to dash off to england for 3 years is a privelage and you might just need to forget about it if you're not from a wealthy family It's only 3 years if you do a crap course here. 4 years for real courses.

It's 3 years for most courses actually...unless you are in Scotland.
Uni fee's are roughly £3145 a year Then theres accomodation and living costs on top of that There arnt really scholarships over in this country but there is quite a good student loan system.. Not sure how it works for students from overseas

Thats for home students, it's round about the 11,000 mark for international. Which taking into account the exchange rate is still probably cheaper than a top rate Uni in the USA

I think you'll have to start looking more generally at universities, and then you can narrow it down based on financial aid. what sort of uni do you want to go to? city/campus/london? I have absolutely no idea. I really should do some research on English universities.

just remember that you need to apply about a year before you plan to start if you're applying to oxford or cambridge.

Quote: from Define Your Line at 12:28 am on July 11, 2008 Wahoo, thanks. You're the best. :) Another thing: I'm not sure if you'd know but, in Canada, when it comes to studying Psychology we can take either the Arts route or the Science route. How is it in England? I've never heard of a BA in Psychology in England, I think it is generally regarded as a science, if a social science. although, I doubt there's much funding for psychology students tbh. (btw, PP is right about LSE. It's pretty much the tip-top)

I'm not sure where I would want to apply exactly - to a pretty good school though. oh, you're doing business! oh, ok, that's a BSc, so you are more likely to get funding in this area. If you were doing an arts subject, like english lit or history of art - you'd be buggered. really you should shop around unis with funding in mind. I just looked at my uni website, and Manchester Business School doesn't offer any scholarships, but Warwick Business School does.

Business is good everywhere but LSE would be my recomendation. Espescially for overseas students.

In fact most Bachelors courses are 3 years, Masters are usually 4. You can get 4 year courses with one year abroad or in industry. I'll be doing Biochemistry for three years from september. Any asshole that tells me that it's not a 'real' course can get lost.

Lol I know whatr you mean, but most "artsy" courses are only 3 years. It's job specific courses mainly. Ie. Biochem is 3 years, biochem engineering is 4.
I didn't really mean crap I meant non job specific. I'm tired and was too lazy to type it.

I'm a home student, and nowhere I applied had scholarships available for my subject (english lit). basically, because we're useless and expendable. unless you're outstanding in academics (which you may well be!), I mean really outstanding - I think you'll struggle to find funding.

Most of us over here get bursaries (well those of us willing to look) Mine will be paid for by the army provided I pass AOSB in september. I'll also get paid while I'm there for doing UOTC.
