Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by Define Your Line at 3:57 pm on July 10, 2008 I've heard that the tuition to universities in England are fairly expensive. Are there any full scholarships offered?  If so, what is the basic criteria needed to receive a full scholarship? -- Posted by La Motta at 3:58 pm on July 10, 2008 Head to Leeds University!!!! That's where I might be going in a year!!! -- Posted by Fauna at 3:58 pm on July 10, 2008 for international students, they are quite expensive. it depends on the university of course. it depends on the sort of course you want to do as to how readily available scholarships are going to be. are you arts or science? -- Posted by scottyrob at 3:59 pm on July 10, 2008 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 -- Posted by Define Your Line at 3:59 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Fauna at 6:58 pm on July 10, 2008 for international students, they are quite expensive. it depends on the university of course. it depends on the sort of course you want to do as to how readily available scholarships are going to be. are you arts or science? Arts. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 4:00 pm on July 10, 2008 There could be. The scholarship solely depends on the course you wish to study at the University and the factors involved vary from course to course and from university to university. It's not simply cut and dry. Full scholarships may be offered. For example some people may apply for a scholarship or a bursary from the NHS if they study a course that will lead to a career with the NHS and they have to spend a few years working for the NHS as an exchange. -- Posted by St Jimmy at 4:00 pm on July 10, 2008 Gosh, yeah expencive but GOOD!!! You get scholarships sometimes but they are hard to get when your English let alone foreign!! College is free for us though. Cambridge is really good. -- Posted by Fauna at 4:01 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Define Your Line at 11:59 pm on July 10, 2008 Arts. in which case, you've got no chance. -- Posted by Define Your Line at 4:02 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Fauna at 7:01 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Define Your Line at 11:59 pm on July 10, 2008  Arts. in which case, you've got no chance. Lmao, aw really? -- Posted by Tubbz at 4:03 pm on July 10, 2008 Can all of the english people seriously get your facts straight: -overseas student often pay in excess of £20000 for fees. The only way I know of to get it cheaper is to organise an overseas exchange. It's cheap here is you're british with bursaries available (ie free money) -- Posted by Tubbz at 4:03 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from St Jimmy at 12:00 am on July 11, 2008 Gosh, yeah expencive but GOOD!!!

Everyone pays the £3145 fee a year (aprox) and overseas studnets can get the Student loans! -- Posted by Wakeupcall at 4:04 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Define Your Line at 4:02 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Fauna at 7:01 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Define Your Line at 11:59 pm on July 10, 2008     Arts.    in which case, you've got no chance.

I refer you to http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/graduateProspectus2008/feesAndFinancialSupport/tuitionFees.htm hence you're wrong. overseas students have to pay far more. -- Posted by marshmellowman at 4:07 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from scottyrob at 12:04 am on July 11, 2008 My facts were right.   Everyone pays the £3145 fee a year (aprox) and overseas studnets can get the Student loans! No, overseas students pay much more. For example this is the fee for Nottingham University students.

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.

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.

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? -- Posted by Fauna at 4:35 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Define Your Line at 12:28 am on July 11, 2008 Wahoo, thanks.

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) Pages: 1 2  Next
