London
The British capital was considered in the latest QS ranking as the best city in the world for students. This is due to its wide transport network, diversity of cultural programs and high standard of living.
Among the city’s charms are its museums, such as the Tate Modern and the London Museum of Natural History, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the River Thames, over which you can stroll through a river network of public transport.
In addition, there is a great offer of universities for those who want to do higher education here. Among them are Imperial College London and University College London, two of the best in the world, and the University of Westminster.
Edinburgh
Capital of Scotland (British country located in the north of England), Edinburgh is a much smaller and colder than London, but it pays off with its beautiful historic buildings. The University of Edinburgh, another of the best in the country and also in the world.
Anyone who goes to Edinburgh for an English exchange will come across an accent a little difficult to understand. The region has another official language besides English, the so-called “Scottish Gaelic”, which is spoken by about 1% of the population, but is still studied and disseminated because of its historical importance.
Manchester
City that is home to the football team of the same name, is another of the largest in the UK, with about 3.6 million inhabitants in its urban area. It is marked by an industrial heritage: it was one of the main poles of the English Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries, and it is possible to see part of this history in the city’s buildings.
Other Possible Destinations For Study In The UK
In addition to the above three cities, the QS ranking still lists several other British cities among the top 50 in the world for students and they are Glasgow, Coventry, Nottingham and Birmingham.
Almost all British cities in the top 100 are from England, with some being from Scotland. Students who want to get to know the whole of the UK, however, can also think of an exchange in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Another option is Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, a country in the United Kingdom that is on the island of Ireland.
Prepare For The English Proficiency
There is no way to enter British higher education without sharp English skills! This requirement actually exists to ensure that foreign students make the most of their experience in British universities.
All higher and even some short courses require proof of mastery of the English language. It is therefore very important that your plan to take a course in the UK includes a specific preparation to get a good grade in the English language proficiency exam. The IELTS, which is the most popular exam in the world, even has a specific version for those who wish to take a British visa.
Calculate Expenses
Before registering, it is critical that you prepare a detailed budget to get a clear view of how much the experience will cost. The value of the course will probably be your biggest expense, but there are other expenses that should be considered, such as transportation, food, the purchase of books, among others.
