Top Law school in the UK

Top Law school in the UK?
I'm from Malaysia. I've just finished high school (it's not A-levels here). I took English Language in the national examination. It has a section called 1119 (which is Cambridge marking). The result will be released in March. Moreover, I'm interested in doing Business Law. My questions are: Where should I go? College or University? What colleges and universities would you suggest? What are the requirements? The entrance time? The fees? Do i have to take IELTS? Can I apply for scholarships? (if possible) Thanks in advance.

I can't give specific advice, but a few comments: 1) If you're coming to the UK, you want a university, not a college. Our colleges are generally for 16-18 year olds and teach up to A level, not degree standard. 2) If you want to start in September 2008, you need to hurry. You've already missed the Oxford and Cambridge application deadlines.

yea you can. i'm not sure how it works but i know people who are going to school in Europe after they complete highschool in the US
2 :
Yes, it's possible. In fact, I plan on attending university in England as well.
3 :
Yes you can. Generally. However you will need to be reasonably good academically, and have the money to fund an education over here, as you would be treated as an overseas student (and therefore have to pay full fees). You should also be aware that 4 year degrees in the UK are not very common. 4 year degrees are often either science or technical degrees or"sandwich" degrees with a year's work experience in industry between the 2nd and final years of the degree. Degrees in the UK are not the same as in the US. They are not a general liberal arts education. They are degrees in a specific subject. There is not major/minor system - just a degree in your subject. Students in the UK specialise in the 2 years prior to university in 3 subjects, so where a university states that it requires particular A level, you may need to have an AP in an analagous subject. Best place to look for universities is through UCAS (the central application system). Look on individual university websites for admissions requirements.

Moving to the UK for 1 year. Husband is staying in the US. What cell phone companies will work for us

Moving to the UK for 1 year. Husband is staying in the US. What cell phone companies will work for us?
I am going to graduate school in the UK. it is not feasible for him to move with me (he has a great job, and I will only be there for one year.) I need to know of a cell phone company that won't charge me out the a$$ for international calls. I do not want a pay as you go phone. I don't want to pay $0.05-$4.00 a minute for my calls. Thanks for any help!

Don't use a mobile phone - use a landline. I use 1899.com which is free to sign up and it only costs 1p per minute to call my parents in the US from my landline to their landline. Mobile calls are always going to be more expensive, plus your husband will also pay to receive international calls on his mobile in the US no matter how cheaply you can call from the UK. Or just use Skype
2 :
ALL cell phone companies will charge you out the ass for international calling. The best way is to use a landline and buy a pre-paid international calling card which you can buy from most newsagents. You can get calls to the US for about £0.02 per minute.

High School Study abroad programs in the UK

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
2 :
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!
