What conditions do college students need to study in Britain?

There are two ways for college students with no work experience to study in Britain: one is to go to the top, and the other is to have a master's degree/postgraduate diploma); ; College students with a certain number of years of full-time work experience can also directly apply for master's courses in British universities.

Three-year college students:

Option 1: junior college students apply for undergraduate courses in the UK, which is called the top case.

Undergraduate courses for college students studying in Britain are usually called bridging courses. The advantage of the course from junior college to undergraduate course lies in the wide choice of institutions and the quick and simple admission. Domestic college students can directly enter the last year of undergraduate study in British universities, and after completing the courses and graduation thesis, they can get a bachelor's degree in British universities. Making up lessons is one of the educational characteristics in Britain, and it is also a quick and feasible ideal choice for domestic college students to improve their academic level and self-appreciation ability in a short time.

British junior college (third year of undergraduate course)

In Britain, except Scotland (4 years), the undergraduate education system in the other two regions is 3 years.

A, Scotland, due to the particularity of its academic system and the comprehensive consideration within the school, few schools arrange recharge.

Courses, even if there is this course, there are few majors. University of stirling is one of them, offering a bachelor's degree in nursing and midwifery;

B, there are few universities in Wales, and there are basically no such courses;

C. English is the gathering place of this course. There are relatively many colleges and universities, but most of them rank lower, and their majors are mainly business and computer. Recommended institutions are: Kent University, Northumbria University, Coventry University, Portsmouth University, Brighton University, Nottingham Trent University, Hertfordshire University, Bedfordshire University, etc.

Suitable for the crowd: college graduates

Advantages: It takes less time to get an undergraduate degree, saving time and studying abroad expenses.

Disadvantages: students can only apply for majors related to their original majors in British universities, and they can't change majors casually. The choice of institutions is limited.

Admission requirements: 3-year college graduation, IELTS 6.0-6.5.

The bridging course not only requires students to have relevant professional background, but also requires students' English level when they enter school. Most of them need to reach IELTS 6.0-6.5, which is difficult. If students' IELTS scores can't meet the requirements, they can first accept the language intensive courses provided by British universities to ensure that students have enough ability to complete the intense and arduous study in the last year of undergraduate studies in the UK.

British universities offering bridging courses include Bath University, King's College London, Reading University, Essex University, Sheffield Haslem University, Bournemouth University, university of stirling, Nottingham Trent University, Swansea University, Hull University, Leeds City University, Northumbria University and Brighton University.

Many British universities offer bridging courses, but the bridging courses are not very comprehensive. Courses offered are mainly business and computer, including business administration, economy and finance, computer, tourism and hotel management, art and design, logistics and so on.

Option 2: Go directly to the first year of college.

Suitable for the crowd: freshmen/sophomores.

Advantages: you can enjoy the undergraduate education in the British system.

Disadvantages: the amount of economic guarantee is high, the study time is long, the application period is long, and the visa is difficult.

Freshmen:

After completing their first year of study, college freshmen can study in British universities without matriculation, because British universities are all three-year undergraduate courses. However, it should be noted that students who want to study abroad in this way need to have the same requirements for the basic subjects of domestic universities and the basic subjects of overseas planning. In addition, when a freshman applies to a British university, if he has the same major, he can propose some credit reduction when he is admitted to the other university, but it is more difficult. For students who want to re-select their major and have a long span, such as liberal arts to science and engineering, they need to re-apply to British universities as senior three graduates.

Junior college students:

Students who have completed the second year of junior college have the same path of further study as those who have completed the first year. Generally speaking, students should study from the beginning of their freshman year.

Option 3: junior college students apply for British master's preparatory course or direct master's degree.

Suitable for people: college graduates or college students with work experience.

Advantages: less time to get a master's degree, saving time and study abroad expenses.

Disadvantages: Not all British universities accept graduates from China to apply for pre-master degree or direct master degree.

British master's courses with short academic system and high academic qualifications have been sought after by domestic college students in recent years. A fresh graduate of a three-year junior college can study for one year in the British Master's Foundation and then spend another year studying for a master's degree, so if it goes well, he can get a master's degree in the UK in two years. If college graduates want to apply for a master's degree directly, it is best to have relevant work experience, because there is little room for direct master's degree. Generally, college graduates who want to apply for a master's degree in the UK will choose the pre-master's degree as a transition. In addition, the pre-master only requires IELTS 5.0 or above, so I have the opportunity to apply to a good school.

Description:

The disadvantages of studying for the master's preparatory course are also obvious: the cost is high, and the preparatory diploma itself is of little value. If you get a master's degree, some universities in Britain don't agree with the preparatory course for master's degree, so there are not many opportunities to apply for a master's degree from a prestigious school.

Description:

The British master's degree system is short, the teaching quality is high and the master's diploma is highly recognized internationally. Therefore, studying for a master's degree in Britain is the choice of many China students. Moreover, the unique education system in Britain is very beneficial for junior college students to apply for a master's degree in Britain.

Many British universities also indicate in their admission requirements that applicants with relevant work experience can make up for the lack of academic background. Therefore, college students who want to directly apply for a master's degree in British universities must have certain work experience, long-term high-quality work experience, and even apply for a prestigious school.
