The best thing you can do is go to the University you plan to transfer to and ask them, they'll be able to help.

High School Study abroad programs in the UK?
Does anybody know of any HIGH SCHOOL study abroad programs in the England? I know there is a lot of summer programs, but what about during the academic year? I've always wanted to visit England and it would be amazing to study abroad there.

Hi, try Best Exchange Student, they have plenty of UK families

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but many high school exchange programs have suspended exchanges with anywhere in what we typically call "the British Isles". (I can't comment on University level exchanges.) This is due to a difficulty in students getting visas. I can't speak for other organizations, but YFU may be reconsidering British exchanges in 2012, but there are no guarantees that they will resume. If I may, I would suggest contacting your local Rotary Club (just Google "Rotary" and the name of your city). While Rotary programs are more competitive and restrictive, they may have more on an 'inside track' for getting visas. As a note, please make sure that that any organization that you choose is listed with the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (csiet.org). They routinely audit programs for quality. While it is possible that a good organization is not listed with them, it is less likely and I would advise doing more research on anyone that is not listed with them. Also, have you considered other countries? If you want England specifically for culture or some other reason, then that's fine. But if you're just concerned about language, there are English-speaking programs to other countries (for example, YFU has programs to Australia, South Africa, Ghana, and India) and programs that do not require that you study the language before you go. If you don't have your heart set on Britain, post another question and I'm sure you'll get many answers. Good luck to you!

Can you get an English degree in the UK and still work in the USA
Can you get an English degree in the UK and still work in the USA?
I'm an American student at community college and was considering transferring to a school in the UK because they're cheaper (in some cases). Would I have trouble finding a job when I come back to the USA? I know problems arise if someone is pursuing a medical degree in another country, but I wasn't sure if that applied to English majors as well.

i doubt the school in the UK is cheaper for you than your community college. The prices u see online for the school is probably only for UK students as they get some of their schooling subsidized (paid for) by the government. a bachelors degree in english from the UK however should be fine to use for jobs in the US that you would get w a english degree obtained in the US. you may find problems if you are trying to get into grad school tho, esp bc most bachelors degrees in the England are only 3 years long, and you dont study many of the pre-requisites that most american degrees require.

Advices for a Hong Kong UK-boarding Sixth Form student to enter UK medical schools
Advices for a Hong Kong UK-boarding Sixth Form student to enter UK medical schools?
I'm a student from Hong Kong and I've got 3As 2Cs 4Ds in my HKCEE. I'm going to pursue AS/A2 in the UK this September and I wonder what I should do really to enter good UK medical schools. I'm planning to take Maths Further Maths Bio Chem Phy Chinese and French for AL, and I wonder if Further Maths is really unnecessary and time-consuming for my medical dream (how many notable schools consider only 1 Maths subject?). Also, what policy should I have concerning top medical schools? My 4 choices currently are Edinburgh, Nottingham, St George's and (undecided). I'm not sure if I should even think of the top 4. I'm a qualified first aider according to the Hong Kong St John Ambulance and I've gained 1 week work experience at the Department of Clinical Oncology in Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong. What stuffs is highly recommend for me to do in the UK during half-terms and holidays?

7 A-levels is a bit much. You're only going to have time to do 3 although they may let you sit chinese as a 4th if you're already fluent. The way it works is you sit 4 AS level subjects and then drop one to take the other 3 up to A level. It's good that you've got clinical experience, they like that and a little more in some other areas of medicine would be good. You can also volunteer at charity day centres for things like dementia to get more patient orientated skills. Have you considered Manchester? It was rated as number 1 a few years ago (though I don't know what it's at now). Dundee uni is also good for the general uni experience but I don't know what the medical school is like (I studied anatomy there).

No problem. you will be required to do teaching with young children. Before that you can apply with British council for education. The certificate will be accepted with British council recognition. Basically, the style of teaching will be differ though syllabus may be on par, and hence they need recognition. you please contact the authorities there in USA, and they are competent to explain the rules.
