You will need a student Visa. When you are accepted to the University (you should always apply to more than one in case you do not get accepted), they will send you an admissions letter (which you will need to apply for the visa) and steps to actually get one, along with all of the information that will be required of you. Right now you just do really well on your A-levels, and make sure that you meet the other admissions requirements to the school. They will take care of you when it comes to the technical stuff about coming to America. But just to state this now, you will need your passport before you apply (they need that number), and they will usually want you to prove that you have at least funding for the first year upfront.

As Happyjumpfrog as said above you need to decide for yourself, which college or university you want to attend and which location you want to live. Also don't forget to make sure you budget for everything, from tuition to cost of living. I would suggest you look at institutions in the north, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds as they will offer a more affordable education and cheaper places to rent than in the south of England. Once you have chosen the place you want to study, applied and been accepted you will need to start the visa process. For more information about a student visa (INF 5), how to qualify for one, restrictions etc visit the website below: http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Front?pagename=OpenMarket/Xcelerate/ShowPage&c=Page&cid=1018721067373 If you are an American Citizen, this website will also be useful and contains a lot more information: http://www.britainusa.com/ If you need any further help, guidance or information please feel free to contact me and I would be more than happy to offer assistance.

If you want an independent school then go to www.independentschools.co.uk You can compare schools and fees and syllabii. State schools you need to decided which town you want to go to and then go the the Local Education Authority for information. This should be quite easy on the Internet.

Hi there, If you are coming to NSW you will need to register on the NSW Department of Education teachers site - there's an online application form - you can start the process for over in the UK. (If you can't find the site - let me know - i'll send it on). They'll want evidence of quals and a statement of service etc. They've passed a new teachers' act of 2004 - basically means that any teacher who has not been in the system in NSW for the past 5 years, needs to undergo an accreditation process (yep - more shifting of paperwork and an interview). I'm a Queensland teacher and undergoing that process at the moment - more a nuisance than difficult. May be worthwhile becoming familiar with the syllabuses - google the 'board of studies' for the relevant states. Good luck with it all

the last time i went out to buy a full new school uniform - 1 of everything- it cost £300. i think that's ridiculous. all the different schools in my area have really different uniforms and i think it would be good if every school had the same black trousers/skirt, fitted white shirt, black jumper and blazer, and then different ties and sew-on crests. it would be so much easier and all the shops could get into a little price battle.

At 14 you would be studying for you GCSE = O Levels exams in the UK now. Katlin the whole point is if one can afford to send ones child to boarding school why should they ask for government assistants.

Good question! I suppose it's possible that they simply wear clip-on neckties (which require no tying whatsoever). However, tying a necktie really isn't any more difficult than tying shoelaces, which we learn at a very young age... it's just that, for those of us that grew up in non-uniformed schools, there was no reason for us to learn how to tie a necktie at that same age. I didn't learn how to tie a necktie until sometime in middle school, when we all had to wear nice outfits for a fancy school ceremony. I can remember all of us boys standing in the hallway behind the auditorium struggling in unison with our ties... But now that I know how, I really do enjoy wearing (and tying!) ties. Some people really don't--it's a matter of personal taste, of course--but if you're interested in learning, click on the link below. It does take a bit of trial and error to get right (especially figuring out exactly how much longer around your neck the wide end needs to be hanging than the narrow end; the very first step!), but you'll get the hang of it in no time. Good luck!

people she says she's going to one of the only private schools that doesn't wear uniforms, so stop telling her to wear a uniform! Just wear whatever clothing you would normally wear here! There's not that much of a difference. If you want to be noticed, where one "statement piece" with each outfit. For whole outfit ideas, check out places like polyvore. People use pictures and put together outfits. There are literally thousands of them. If you don't like the price of the stuff they used, just look around at cheaper stores like H&M and Forever 21 for an alternative. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/search.sets?query=clothing for this link, i searched "clothing". On the left, theirs a whole list of tags ranging from colors to different adjectives. Just click the tag you want for the color or style you want. Start out really basic by not tagging anything and just take a look. Then if you find a color or style you know you want, just click on that word from the list. easy. Now. For the statement pieces, try i really noticable necklace or a bright bag, or sweet shoes. That'll make people notice you in a good way, as it'll catch there eye and spark they're interest. Once they notice the statement piece, they'll soon look at everything else you're wearing. How you said it should be cold, try not to cover youself up in one puffy jacket. Instead, wear layers. That way, you don't have to wear a huge jacket, which would cover up what you're wearing. tanktops underneith shirts, loose shirt over tight shirt, stuff like that. Once it gets colder, find a cool stylish jacket. Just as a tip, if you're looking for clothing under the category of "basics" like cami's and plain tshirts, there's no point in getting them at a more expensive store. Look to forever 21, as you can get camis for 3 bucks and t shirts for 5. that way,you'll have more money for clothing that, well, isn't the basics, like a stylish top. stores to look at: www.charlotterusse.com www.forever21.com www.wetseal.com If you don't want to shop at all, still use polyvore, and compare items they used to stuff you already have. then just put your stuff together to match the picture.

Best Answer
For starters you need a valid American passport. Next apply for a VISA (not a credit card). Have all your school paper work (records) copied, get the colleges entrance paper work completed. If they will accept you get it in writing and keep it with all your required legal docuemnts. Never give out originals, certified copies only if necessary, never give out an original document. Gurad your documents carefully to prevent identity theft, etc. Have a secure place of residence in advance and be able to prove it before you enter the country. Be able to prove finanical responsibility. Talk to British and American immigration offices here in the US and they will guide you through the system. If possible find a friend in England, someone who lives there and can discuss issues with you. Pick you up at Heathrow Airport and get you to your new place of residence quickly and safely. If you've never been there and can afford it, take a trip there and sort of learn you're way around. They speak english but they are a lot different than Americans. If you can you're better off living and learning in Ireland, things are better and cheaper and the people are a 100 times more friendly. And if you can manage it, live on the east coast of Ireland, Waterford, etc., it's a quick cheap ferry ride to England. Check it out carefully before you make the actual move. Leaving your own country and living in a foreign land is not what you think it might be just because they speak the same language.

2008-12-14 12:56:47

Answer 5
Contact the UK consulate nearest you, or the Embassy. They'll be able to tell you what the requirements are. You aren't going to get into the UK as anything other than a tourist unless you're accepted to university first, so you might want to start out by finding out about schools in Greater London, and which one interests you, and the requirements for entrance. Work permits are iffy--you'd be better off directing this question to the Embassy. They may have a program where they allow college kids to work. No offense, but if you really want to become (one M, FWIW) an actress/singer/writer, London isn't the FIRST place people go to do that sort of thing. The Mecca for that is Los Angeles, actually, for film work, and New York for the dying stage. The people who have reached the PINNACLE in London run like hell to...CALIFORNIA. It's only old has-beens like Madonna who head for London....hoping that the paparazzi will follow her to boost her sagging career.....and now that she's dumped that husband, she'll be off to somewhere with a warmer climate for her older bones....and fresher meat....

Answer 6
For starters you need a valid American passport. Next apply for a VISA (not a credit card). Have all your school paper work (records) copied, get the colleges entrance paper work completed. If they will accept you get it in writing and keep it with all your required legal docuemnts. Never give out originals, certified copies only if necessary, never give out an original document. Gurad your documents carefully to prevent identity theft, etc. Have a secure place of residence in advance and be able to prove it before you enter the country. Be able to prove finanical responsibility. Talk to British and American immigration offices here in the US and they will guide you through the system. If possible find a friend in England, someone who lives there and can discuss issues with you. Pick you up at Heathrow Airport and get you to your new place of residence quickly and safely. If you've never been there and can afford it, take a trip there and sort of learn you're way around. They speak english but they are a lot different than Americans. If you can you're better off living and learning in Ireland, things are better and cheaper and the people are a 100 times more friendly. And if you can manage it, live on the east coast of Ireland, Waterford, etc., it's a quick cheap ferry ride to England. Check it out carefully before you make the actual move. Leaving your own country and living in a foreign land is not what you think it might be just because they speak the same language.

Primary teachers will teach all subjects in the curriculum, you may be lucky and avoid music and PE, but from my experience, you will teach literacy, numeracy (thee big 2), geography, RE, history, ICT, science, Art etc. What really kicks is that you may be asked to teach two different year groups in one classroom of 50 kids and differentiate a gazillion times a day (and have it all on record for Ofsted scum) DO NOT DO IT! It is hell. All teaching now is hell.

Best Answer
You'll have a word limit imposed on you by the UCAS form (or at least I did). It's usually not too long, like 3/4 page. Start off with a short paragraph about why you want to do medicine and then go on to talk about your extra curricular activities. I think I just talked about playing in various orchestras for most of mine, and I know a girl who got into Cambridge medical school by talking about her flute (in her personal statement and pretty much all the way through her interview!). If you have the grades they can see you're smart, your personal statement is a chance for you to show them how you have lots of interests and are well versed in things other than studying. If you think about it, most of the applicants for medical school are going to have 3 A's at A level so there's not much to tell between them, so you need to stand out and show you have other things to offer them than just your brain. You need to be a well rounded human being. Good luck

I am thinking about working in the UK for a year or two, and using the UK as a base explore Europe. My husband and two kids aged 6 and 9 would come too. We are Australian. There should be no problem for us to find work, we are health professionals and there are plenty of positions advertised. Can my kids attend the local state school? Also, approximately how much are the return airfares to major European destinations from London?
London - 3 Answers - 2009-08-27 17:34:16

Best Answer
yes, your children will be able to go to a state school for free, and you would also be eligible for NHS medical treatment however your visa will probably specify "no recourse to public funds" which effectively means you can't claim any state benefits such as unemployment benefit, disability living allowance, incapacity benefit, etc etc air fares around Europe is a fiercely competitive market with many cheap airlines (e.g. Easyjet, RyanAir etc) offering cheap flights ... the prices vary and usually if you book early or if you book for an "antisocial" time, or book for midweek then you get cheaper flights I've found that around Europe the flights are the least of your problem ... you spend far more on accommodation at the other end

All Answers
Answer 1
I flew London Venice for minus 1 pound once. The company effectively paid me 1 pound to travel and I only paid 14 pounds airport fees instead of the 15 pounds. That's RyanAir. I then went back for about 10 pounds + the fees with EasyJet. They are the two best ones, bar none. As per state schools, there are 100 of thousands of africans/polish/pakistanis/indians who go to the UK with no qualifications and get a free home from the government, including free money to live. The first is called housing benefits, the second is called being on the dole. Dental care, health care etc etc all comes to you for free when you are on the dole. With you being qualified, logically speaking there shouldn't be any problems, however the system isn't as kind to tax paying people. Just find a home in a good location, next to professionals and you should be ok.

I'm currently in the business of applying for this at the minute. So in the UK you finish compulsory education at 16, you can now legally go and get a job but most people carry on to take their A levels at a 6th form, college or academy. This takes two years. You then apply (well, you actually start applying during the second year of A levels) for university. You can apply to four medical schools, and the process is pretty similar to applying for any other degree (except there are a few more hoops to jump through, for example, extra tests like the UKCAT or BMAT). If you want you can also apply for one other subject which many people do so they have a back up as getting into medical school is very competitive. If the schools like your application they may invite you for interview, they may then make you an offer of a place (which is usually conditional, eg. if you get AAB in your A levels you can have a place). If you get the grades, no problem, you're in - if not, they may still take you or you resit and try again next year. I'm sure like in the US grades are not the only requirement, they also look at your conduct, hobbies, volunteer work, character etc. etc. before making their desicion. Overall the degree is 5-6 years, depending on if you intercalate (take another degree in the middle, for example, have a year of for medicine and get a BSc in neurology or something) or if you do a foundation course (for students who didnt have the oppurtunity to take the right sciences at GCSE or AS/A level). Pretty much everyone then does the first two years of clinical practice near where they qualified so you can be looking at staying in the same place for up to eight years.

Medicine in this country isn't split into pre-med and medical school. In this country, when you apply to university you do so to study one subject and when you get there that is all you study, whether it be, for example, maths, history or medicine. Therefore, when our medical students turn 18 they go to university and study medicine from the get go and nothing else. As a result they spend 5 or 6 years (the length of the course differs according to the university) studying medicine as part of one continuous course before qualifying as a doctor.

Hey!! Ok i go to a boarding school in the UK - Schools will differ but there will ALWAYS be lots of choices - especially as you live at the school!! For all 3 meals you will most definitely have a choice between hot and cold meals. For breakfast we usually have a choice of lots of different foods in the hot section - such as hot eggs, baked beans, tomatoes, sausages and toast etc etc etc. Or in the cold, there will be things like cereal and yoghurt's. For lunch the setting will be similar - hot or cold meals. The different food choice will change it day - such as in the hot section on a Monday there may be a choice of pasta, curry and rice, or lasagna and lots of vegetables on offer if you would like that. On Tuesday however, you might be offered toad in the hole, a beef casserole or fish pie. Do you understand? In the cold section for lunches there will usually be sandwiches, and a salad bar on offer everyday so this usually won't change! for dinners it is basically the same also just the meals on offer will be different to the meals on offer at lunchtime. You would usually have to get a teachers permission to bring in your own food, as the school provide the meals you eat. However, this will usually be granted quite easily if you have a special diet.

The best description of medical schools in the UK is provided by Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_school_%28United_Kingdom%29

Advice for moving school from UK to USA?
Right, i am moving soon and would like to know everything there is to know about a typical school in the USA (an average size school).

Just any info that i need and tips on getting through school and how to act at first. Will i fit in? I am 15 so what 'grade' am i in? And any other different things i should know. Thank you!

Answer 2
Well, there's 5 years of Elementary School, 3 years of Middle School, and 3 years of High School. You should be in your first year of High School. And there are a few groups of people... school in the USA is almost exactly like in movies. There are the jocks, sluts, preps, emos, nerds, and the lowest group of people that the popular kids don't even notice. You'll fit in if you just be your self ^^ Have fun in the USA :D Btw what school are you going to? and in what state?
2010-08-26 02:02:15

Answer 3
hi! =) well every school is different and if you are 15 you are probably going to be in 10th or 11th grade, most likely 10th. unlike what the other person said there is 6 years of Elementary school: kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade and 5 grade 3 years of middle school: 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade 4 years of high school: 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade and 12 grade. after that you can go to college if you want, but you have to pay for that yourself. my advice is you go to college, because you need to go there to get a good job. well if im going to be honest, i really like high school! there are cliches. different kids that fit into groups like nerds, emos, popular kids. its not quite like the movies though. you should act outgoing! one of the worst things you can do is just blend in with the wall. get noticed! join some clubs that you find interesting. there are TONS of them. and be friendly. people would probably be really interested in you and want to talk to you because you are from UK, so you have more of an advantage than someone from the US moving to a new school over here. last year a guy moved here from england and lots of people talked to him and hes pretty popular. im not sure what accent you have but im sure people will go crazy over it like they did with his! :D don't let anyone scare you into thinking school here is bad. its pretty nice. so what state are you moving to? :D

Check with the uni you want to study at what qualifications and grades they would require in order to accept you. There isn't any one single test like SATs which UK universities require before accepting people, they'll just need you to have the relevant Canadian equivalent to whatever qualifications they would want from UK students - so, in the case of applying to do a Master's degree, they'd expect you to have a Bachelor's degree, and they might specify a certain minimum grade (but this could vary depending on how popular the course you want to do is and how competitive entry is). Hope this helps - good luck with your application!

To attend Undergraduate school in the UK for the price set by British Council, does one need to have residency

To attend Undergraduate school in the UK for the price set by British Council, does one need to have residency
Does one need to have residency in the UK or Europe to go to school in the UK for the normal price set by the British Council, about 3000 pounds, or does one simply need European citizenship? For example, if an Italian citizen has residency in the USA, does he have to pay the international fee? Or does a British citizen with residency in India, does he have to pay the international fee?

It doesn't have as much to do with residency as it has to do with British or EU citizenship, that's what i've found. I'm Nigerian, started schooling here two years ago and i pay the international fees although i have residency here in London. If you are a citizen of the EU or Britain (you hold a passport), you will pay the home school fees. I heard that with a permanent residency you can get some sort of local government funding towards your fees which, in effect, is a discount on the international fees but i'm not on that. You would have to check with your local government council. Hope that was useful :-)!!

Why sue? Will that get you anywhere? This world is full of heretics and hypocrites.

John 3:3-5 means, "If someone wants to be born again, they should be born of water and the Spirit. Here water means the baptism of Jesus, which does away with all the sins of the world once and for all. The Spirit means that Jesus who received baptism from John the Baptist is God Himself.�

All of them probably. Religion in UK schools is a tricky point. I didn't appreciate being forced to pray etc without having what I was doing explained to me. Once I'd worked out what I was doing, I was pretty annoyed that they'd forced me to do it. And if they excused kids on the grounds of skin colour, I should imagine some of those other 'pink and dark brown' children have greater reasons to sue than you.

All of your questions are answered on the following website which is very easy to use:- http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/index/your_family/education/access_to_education.htm#compulsory_school_age For example:- Starting school In England and Wales, most local authorities have a policy of accepting children into school at the beginning of the term during which the child becomes five. However, the child does not have to attend school until the beginning of the term following their fifth birthday. In Northern Ireland, a child who is four years old on or before 1 July in any year must start primary school on 1 September that year. In England, from the school year beginning September 2011, local authorities must accept children into primary school in the September following the child's fourth birthday. However, parents may request that their child does not start school until later in the year or until reaching compulsory school age. A parent will also be able to request that a child attends school part-time until compulsory school age. Free education places for three-year-olds and four-year-olds In England and Wales, every three-year-old and four-year-old is entitled to a free early education place. This is only if you want to take up a place. In England, the place should be provided for 12 and a half hours a week. From September 2010, this should be 15 hours a week. You can spread this flexibly over at least three days a week during normal term times. In Wales, the place should be provided for at least ten hours a week. There is no minimum to the number of weeks in a year the sessions should be provided. Not all nurseries, schools or playgroups take part in the scheme to provide free early education places. Your local education authority holds lists of places which provide early education. The places may be in nursery schools, nursery classes in primary schools or reception classes in primary schools. Other places may be in playgroups, private day nurseries, independent schools, or with childminders who belong to an approved network. Even if the place would normally charge fees, you will not have to pay for the number of hours you are entitled to for free. However, if your child attends for longer than that, you may have to pay for extra hours. You can find information about schools and other organisations providing early education places at: www.childcarelink.gov.uk, or by phoning 0800 234 6346. In Northern Ireland, many three-year-olds or four-year-olds are entitled to a pre-school education place. The availability of places varies from area to area and you are encouraged to apply if you wish to take up a place for your child. If free places are not available, you may have to pay for a place, but, if a centre has enough free places, all eligible children whose parents apply will be given a place. Schools and groups in the scheme will provide information about how to apply for a place and about the education they offer. If you cannot find a suitable place offering free early education, you should contact your local education authority. For all other problems with free early education, you should contact the organisation involved.

Answer 3
I think you mean nursery, my daughter will start nursery a couple of days a week the term before her 3rd birthday (ie, April 2011) She will be going up to Reception the April or sept 2012 (i think) they usually don't start proper all day school till the term before they are 5.
2010-05-08 11:50:30

Answer 4
Children start school in the school year that they'd turn 5 (so will be aged 4 or 5 when they start). The school year runs from September 1st - August 31st. So your daughter would start in the school year beginning September 2012 (assuming she's 5 in May 2013) and it would be reception class. She will be 4 years old. I'm not sure where you've got September 2011 from, but I assume that must be nursery as it's a year too early for school! And if so, she doesn't have to go by any means.
2010-05-08 13:46:44

Answer 5
The term after she is 3, she is entitled to 15 hours of nursery provision. You can choose where you would like her to go, it can be a private day care, children's centre, surestart centre or school nursery, they will do the paperwork for you. You don't have to use it if you don't want to, and you can choose less hours or more than one setting. As for reception you will usually need to apply for a school place in the winter before she is due to start, so around November 2011 you should contact your local council, you usually get 3 choices of school and find out the result the following April, so you are ready for September (in your case September 2012). Her actual start date will vary from county to county and even vary from school to school. For example my daughter was 4 this April but she won't start Reception until January 2011 and spend the first term doing full days in the nursery, this is the policy at her school, others start them all in September.

This is a deliberately inflammatory question. You know that such a possibility has not be mooted in the UK.
