Lesson
Summary: |
You may be considering different options for
studying abroad. So what are some reasons you should choose
the U.K. over other countries such as the
U.S. or Canada? Here are some reasons why Britain is a much
better choice for you.
How much does it
cost?
Education Costs are
Lower
International students studying in the
UK pay less than those studying in the U.S. and other
countries. The average tuition in the UK is about £6,000 to
£7,000 a year, in comparison to $25,000+ in the U.S. for tuition
alone. Living costs range between £6,000 and £15,000 in the UK,
depending on where you study and on your lifestyle. For lots more
information on costs,
check this lesson out.
How long do programs
take?
It takes a shorter time to complete
your degree
You will also save a considerably large amount
of money while studying the UK compared to the US, simply because
your degree will likely take less time to
complete. Most programs in the Britain are 3 years, and
a masters program takes only 1 to 2 years. In the United States,
however, many degree programs are four or even five years long.
This will obviously cost you a lot more money in the long
run.
Does anyone help international
students?
UK education policies are working hard
to keep education affordable
You'll obviously have to manage your financial
affairs in order to afford your education. However, UK
policymakers are taking note at the great influx of foreign
students coming from outside the European Union. The UK
is continuously aiming to stay competitive so that international
students can combat the growing costs of education. This means
better visa rules and work regulations, more opportunities, and
of course lower costs.

Will I find any
friends?
You'll be joining a huge community of
international students
Don't fret if you're worried about not friends
in the UK. There are tons of international students who are
welcomed each year throughout Britain. In 2003, there were 96,000
students from the general European Union (EU) and over
203,000 students from around the world. UK
universities are well prepared for many international students
living and studying on their campuses, so there will be plenty of
resources for you. Support services, career help, and the general
welfare of their students is quite important to these
schools.
Over 30 percent of postgraduate
students are from outside the UK!

Does the UK Government support students
too?
The visa process in the UK is
straightforward
The UK is the second most popular place
for international students. Because of the recent visa
problems in the United States due to the policies and
consequences of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the UK is working
towards supplying the demand for English instruction. You can
find out a lot more about the visa process for the UK in
this lesson. The countries sending the most students to the
UK include:

What about the
language?
Improve your English
skills
The UK is a great place to improve your
English skills. The UK has some of the world's
best institutes for learning English as a new language, so you're
sure to fit right in even if your current English isn't perfect.
When you leave the UK you'll find that your English skills have
improved significantly! This will help you in your professional
career goals, since English is one of the most common languages
in the business and technology world.
Is there anything to do,
see, or visit?
An amazing opportunity for culture,
life, and fun!
The UK offers rich culture spanning thousands of
years! You'll find a great enthusiasm to games like cricket and
football which isn't prevalent in North America. As well, in
terms of music, fashion, and culture, the UK has a unique
combination of Europe's best influences. And don't forget,
Europe is hours away, so there are so many
sights to see- the Big Ben, Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, those are
just a very few places you could visit easily while studying in
the UK.
Any geographical
advantages?
Closer to Home?
One important reason to study in the UK rather
than Canada, the U.S. or Australia is that it's still on the
Eurasian continent. If your family lives in Europe or Asia, you
will be in much closer proximity. This is a great way to get
international experience while still maintaining ties
close to home. Airplane tickets will be cheaper
and perhaps relatives will be able to visit you in Britain while
you study. Who knows, they might even bring some yummy treats
from home!
Yes- The UK is awesome!
The UK offers plenty of financial advantages supported by both schools and the government, it's extremely welcoming to lots of international students, and it offers all the exclusive advantages of Europe in the English language! It's no wonder the UK is the best place for your studies!
