Information about foreign Universities please!?
-
I am a student in the state education system. I am in my last year of school and will be attending college to do A Levels next year. I have a few questions about universities abroad, trying to see if I can get the same standard of education abroad for less money. Not sure what the costs are like outside the UK. First: What are the costs like in Scotland/ Wales. I realise that because of devolution the rise in tuition actually only affects England. Is it cheaper to go and study in Scotland or Wales and would I be aloud? Must be something stopping loads of English people from just moving up to Scotland to study. Secondly: Are British A Levels accepted internationally? If not I can forget it. Thirdly: What would be the total cost (education cost + living cost) for attending an average university in America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and any other major english speaking countries? Is there anywhere I should avoid? Fourth: Is studying in France an option because I am learning to speak French and hopefully I will be fluent in 3 years time. What would education + living costs be? Fifth: What other complications are there that I probably don't know about (e.g. citizenship issues) or just any other general issue I might have to sort out? Thank you in advance for the help!

Answer:
1) They are cheaper in Scotland, but just about all degrees are four years while many in England are three. I think Wales is the same as England. Yes, you can apply and go - lots of English people do. "Must be something stopping loads of English people from just moving up to Scotland to study." - that would be that the courses they want to do / get into are not in Scotland. 2) Yes. Though for some countries you will also have to do additional exams, for instance to go to a US university you will need to take the SAT, to go to a university which doesn't teach in English you'll have to take an exam to prove your proficiency in the language. 3) Apart from the US being $$$, I can't answer that one. 4) You'd have to be _very_ good. No, you won't be fluent having learned French at school. If you are _really_ good at it, you _might_ be able to cope (and you'd certainly be fluent afterwards :) ). I say that as someone who learned French right up to A level (I got a B back in the days when getting 3 Bs got you into anywhere except Oxbridge) and who spent 6 months at university in Bordeaux. It was very, VERY hard work, and I wasn't even doing an essay-writing subject. But living costs are much cheaper. 5) Citizenship is unlikely to be an issue to study anywhere in the west. It might be if you wanted to go somewhere more authoritarian.
