Coming to live in a new country can be a great adventure filled with positive experiences, but it also carries some risks. Organisations like the British Council and various British universities are engaged in showcasing the positive aspects of UK student life and attracting the foreign student to study in the UK. No Briton or government department or British university is likely to tell you the truth about life in the UK. This is because they don't want to scare you away, or because they can't be objective being British themselves. This book is slightly different. Although it does showcase the positive aspects of studying in the UK it also helps you deal with the risks and dangers of UK life. Helping make your UK life a success is the goal of the author's books. His 12 books aim to explain what life in the UK is like with honesty and fairness. It is difficult to do that if you were born in the very society you are describing. People are human and bias is inherent in our worldview. The author is helped in his writings that he is not a Briton by birth. He can be that much more honest and fair in his description of life in the UK. This book, which focuses on studying in the UK, incorporates that approach. British Universities are world class. Four British universities are in the worldwide top ten best universities. Eight British universities are in the global top 50 in the 2014 QS World University Rankings. UK degrees are highly valued by employers worldwide. The majority (86%) of UK students are happy with the quality of their university course, according to the UK National Student Survey (NSS) 2014. A degree from a British university can change your life and your job prospects. This book has answers to questions that a foreign student planning to study in the UK would typically ask. It also answers questions on the UK student visa system. Choosing a good university to study is not merely a look at its worldwide academic ranking. You need to consider crime figures too when choosing a university. Which universities are located in crime hotspots? What cities/towns in the UK are known for high crime levels? What are the crime figures for London? These and many more questions are tackled in this guide.

Studying in a British university can change your life and prospects. British Universities are world class. Four British universities are in the worldwide top ten best universities. Eight British universities are in the global top 50 in the 2014 QS World University Rankings. 19 are in the top 100. An impressive 71 UK universities feature in the 2013/14 QS World University Rankings. Overall, there are a total of 29 UK higher education institutions in the global top 200, and 61 in the top 700. UK degrees are highly valued by employers worldwide. Looking at universities from the student side, the majority of UK students are happy with the quality of their university course, according to the UK National Student Survey (NSS) 2014. British universities are known for research excellence. While a degree from a British university ensures you a bright future, studying at Oxford university, Cambridge University, University College London or the London School of Economics can transform your life and your job prospects. It could also be the best use of your talents. The question is: can you can afford it? How much does a British education cost? Fees paid by English students at English universities (about 9,000 per year) are the highest in Europe. Students from European Union (EU) countries have to pay whatever fees are charged to local students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Students from outside of the EU are charged a range of fees WITH NO UPPER LIMIT! Living expenses come to about 700-1,000 a month. This depends on which town/city the university is located in. The closer to London, the higher the cost of living. What happens if you cannot afford a British education? Relax, help is at hand. Studying in a British University need not cost you a fortune! Smart students know that there are scholarships that pay for fees, living expenses, warm clothing, and return air fares. This book list some of the best scholarships an international student (both European and non-European) can get. If you want to avoid paying fees, then it is high time to find an alternative. You don't want to break the bank or make poor mum and dad pay to put you through university? Show how savvy you are by finding your own source of funding to study in the UK. Researching scholarships can take ages. Trying to find your way through the maze of web pages can leave you bewildered and ruin your eyesight. You need to save your eyes for your studies. Attempting to make sense of the range of scholarships available would resemble the plight of a man who tried to swallow the ocean in order to avoid being drowned. If you are looking for a scholarship to study in the UK, this book has what you need. In this book are listed the major scholarships that students from most nationalities can go for. These ideas work. The author, Rajiv Immanuel, ought to know. He came to the UK on a scholarship (listed in this book) fully funded for three years. They paid his fees, living expenses, cost of warm clothes and even paid his return air fare. This was in 1995. This is better than what many local British students get nowadays (in his day, local students studied for free). Now, about twenty years on, Rajiv, a British citizen, is an author of 16 books preparing foreigners for UK life. Read and save yourself a lot of money! Funding for international students and EU students with financial need is highly competitive. So go quick!"

More and more students in the world now decide to undertake their university studies in another country to their own. They see advantages of quality, value and experience in studying abroad and rightly see the experience as a preparation for life and a big plus for their CVs in an increasingly inter-connected world and job market. The world language is now undisputedly English and even universities in non-English speaking countries such as Holland and Denmark, universities that are wanting to attract international students, are switching to teaching university programmes in English. This makes for an unparalleled opportunity for UK students these days, just at a time when UK university fees are increasing significantly. This guide gives an overview of the opportunities available to UK students across the world, from the English speaking counties of the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, to Asia (India, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore), to offers nearer home, in Europe. As well as information on what is available - the education systems and academic cultures and demands of the different destination countries are explained, application procedures and information on living (accommodation, food, entertainment) are provided and there are self-development exercises that will help with the process of cultural readjustment that you as a UK student are likely to undergo and need to understand. The book covers information for both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and recommends ideal destination countries for these. Tips and advice on how to avoid certain pitfalls while being an international student living abroad are provided.
