Before you hit the road (or the airport), consider some important factors that impact your packing list:

✅Culture: What’s the culture of where you’re traveling? Is it conservative, similar to home, etc.?

✅Temperature: What’s the weather and how should you dress?

✅Access: Will you have access to the same things you have at home? In most cases, the answer will be no. This impacts what you choose to pack.

✅Cost: Is the cost worth bringing it along with you, or should you buy this later?

✅Space: If you’re backpacking for a long time, you might have very limited space. Conversely, you might have a full dorm to yourself to store personal items.

Happy new year lovely people.Wish you all the very best this 2024.

A UK school is opened again for SEPT 2023 for Business and Computer courses related. The deposit deadline is Sept 8, 2023.

Many international students in the UK take a part-time job, work placement or internship alongside their studies. Most courses allow students to work for up to 20 hours per week during term time and this is not restricted to on-campus employment

21/08/2023

Many postgraduate degree courses in the UK can be completed in one year of full-time study. This has financial and career benefits. A one-year master’s programme usually has fewer and lower associated costs. It offers the option of faster entry or re-entry into employment than a traditional two-year master’s programme.

As tuition fees vary by course and institution, we recommend you consult the website of the university or college you are applying for detailed information.

undergraduate degree courses in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland last for three years or four in Scotland.

20/08/2023

Fees for UK courses vary depending on your study level and where in the UK you are studying. For example, humanities and social sciences degrees tend to cost the least, while laboratory and clinical degree programmes tend to cost the most

Before or just after arriving at your property, ensure you find out who your contact person is. Save their phone number and email address on your phone and understand what kind of support they can offer you. For example, who do you go to if there is a water leak? If your cooker stops working or your boiler breaks, what is the process for sorting this out? Or even if you just need answers to any other practical questions about your accommodation, it’s always

20/08/2023

Before signing a contract, make sure you know your rights and obligations. Do you have to pay a deposit before you can move in, and if so, how much? Do you need a guarantor who will agree to pay the rent for you if you cannot? What is the cancellation policy if your plans change? For example, what happens if you don’t get accepted to your university, you don’t get a visa, or there are new travel restrictions put in place? Even if these things seem unlikely, it’s always better to be prepared and know what to do if anything unexpected arises

Location is one of the most important things to consider when looking for student accommodation. Your new home will be your base, but it’s worth considering where you want that to be and how you will be able to move around from there. For example, would you be close to your campus? How easy would it be for you to explore your new area when you have free time? How important is it that you can access the town centre or other places of interest quickly, easily and cheaply from your home? How close to public transport is it - for example, bus stops, metro or train stations, or would it be possible for you to walk or cycle to university?

19/08/2023

Before you start looking for somewhere to live, your budget is one of the first things you’ll need to figure out. How much can you afford, or are willing to pay per month, on rent? Your budget will be an important factor in determining what kind of accommodation you choose. Sharing with others is usually the most cost-effective. However, if you can afford to pay more and privacy is a top priority, a studio apartment might be your best option.

It's also worth keeping in mind that it's likely, especially in the private rented sector, that will require a deposit of one month's rent, for example, before you move in. So you will need to factor this into your budget

In a studio apartment, everything beyond the front door is just for you. It is totally private, and you don’t need to share anything, so this is the best choice for anyone seeking both privacy and personal space. Unsurprisingly, the cost of renting a studio apartment is higher than other available options

18/08/2023

In a private room, you have a bedroom to yourself and sometimes - depending on the property - also a private en-suite bathroom. Other facilities, for example, kitchens or laundry rooms, are shared. This can be seen as a sort of ‘medium choice’ for both price and privacy, and most UK students choose to rent private rooms

18/08/2023

In a shared room, you share a bedroom with a roommate, and all other facilities are also shared. This is a more sociable option and usually the most affordable, but will also offer less privacy. In the UK, this is less common than, for example, in the USA.

18/08/2023

When you start your search early, you will have more options in terms of university accommodation and the private rental market. This is especially important in cities or locations with less supply than demand. In most cases, it will still be possible to find private accommodation just before the start of the academic year. But be aware that you will have fewer choices available, so book early if possible. You will find better deals and, if you're looking with other people, you will be more likely to find something that suits all of your needs

17/08/2023

As soon as you receive your offer, start researching student accommodation in the UK. It is your responsibility to secure suitable accommodation for yourself. If you don't apply for university-owned accommodation, your university will assume that you have found or will find private accommodation

17/08/2023

Studying in the UK is an incredible opportunity and offers a very enriching academic experience. You will learn a lot in a collaborative environment. You are encouraged and required to think through whatever problems are in front of you. It can be a bit intense sometimes. As it’s a one-year programme, you cover a lot in the span of a relatively short space of time with not many breaks in between but it’s so worth it. You’ll learn about time management and will develop many other skills during your studies. Try to grab all of the opportunities available to you, including the fun ones. You won’t regret it.

17/08/2023

Even if you don’t know anyone before you move to the UK, as an international student here, you are not alone. It may feel like it occasionally - that is a normal part of moving anywhere new. But try to keep positive and remember that you will find friends. To do that, you need to take action and go out and meet new people. They will eventually become your community and it will make life so much easier and more enjoyable. Even in the beginning, if you end up spending time with people who don’t become your best friends, that’s fine - as long as it helps you settle in
