well i went to this UK school in China and it started around the same time maybe a little earlier and then it ends around the last day of June. But thats because they have way more breaks during the school year.

How can I attend a UK medical school
How can I attend a UK medical school?
Hi, I am planning for my future and have decided that I want to live in the UK. I, however, wish to pursue a career in medicine. I still have two more years left of high school. What are my choices to attend a UK Medical school? I heard there were 4, 5, and 6 year programs. I was thinking of attending a university in London (richmond) and try to get a BA in Psychology. With this degree, could I get the requirements to take the 4 year course for medicine? Cheers and thanks in advance. I'd just like to point out that I live in the USA am I have signed up for multiple honors classes.

It's great that you're thinking about your options now. Here are a list of all the medical schools in the UK. Click the desired program and you'll get the links for the fees, requirements, etc.: http://search.ucas.com/cgi-bin/hsrun/search/search/StateId/D82iEo_5WWylC0z5bGhZ-hfcV5MwC-VQJm/HAHTpage/search.HsSearch.submitForm?txtSubject=medicine&cmbQual=&cmbAttend=&cmbInst= Yes there are 4 year programs (for mature students who already got a undergrad), 5 year programs (direct-entry med) and 6 year programs (Oxbridge, Pre-med, and Foundation courses). Foundation courses are for students who took no more than one of biology, chem and physics. Yes you can practically do any degree and go into med school somehow. However you'll have to do well on your UKCAT and/or BMAT. Yes, so you could go to Richmond. However, it is not really recognized...for a competitive program like medicine, they might look at the school reputation for border line cases. Try going to a top college like UCL if you really do decide to get a BA in psychology first.

Studying Abroad in the UK - High School
Studying Abroad in the UK - High School?
I am interested in studying abroad for either the full year or just a semester in the 2010 - 2011 school year in the UK. I have been looking at this website [ http://www.study-abroad-uk.com/ ] and it looks like it would be a good fit for me but I'm not sure how reliable it is and I couldn't seem to find the actual cost of the program. I have a few questions to please answer one or all. Have you studied abroad in the UK and if so, with what program? Is the website about reliable? What program would you recommend? Also, any tips for applying would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long winded question!

I studied abroad in college in London. I would recommend waiting till college- in which case you can go through your school. I had the time of my life and am dying to go back, but since schooling in London is very different (I'm not sure what grade you are in now ) It may be a difficult transition. They have A levels and College (college is not the same as university like it is in America) It may be difficult for you to find where you belong. There are some interning summer programs abroad which would give you experience and are legitimate.

Is it Possible for Foreigners to Get a UK Drivers License
Is it Possible for Foreigners to Get a UK Drivers License?
I'm planning on staying in England for awhile but I won't be going under any scheme. I plan to rent my own flat for long-term stay, so I'll have a UK address. But I won't be working or going to school in the UK. I'll just have plenty of money so I'll be able to afford to be there for a long time. So, it's more like an extended vacation, for a year or longer. However, I'd like to get a driver's license there eventually, if it's possible. Is it possible to get a UK driver's license even if I'm not a UK resident or citizen, or are there specific requirements? Oops, I forgot to mention I'm actually U.S. citizen. Sorry, that'll take the guess work out of it.

Pretty soon an "EU licence" will be introduced. This is useful as it stops people who are banned from driving in one EU country from getting re-licenced in another. However, I think you can apply and take a test like everyone else if you arer a citizen or long term resident.

I've always wondered this too. I work with someone who went to one who reckons that it goes back to when they were founded. They were the first schools, so instead of being home-taught the children were sent out to be public-taught. That's one theory anyway.

Graduate school in the UK?
I wanted to apply to a graduate school in the UK! I am from the US and I didn't know of a legitimate website that would give accurate information about it! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

I don't know if this will help but.. . I'm planning on attending the University of Edinburgh in Scotland for graduate school in a little while. I haven't actually applied yet but from what my counselors have said i'm guaranteed entrance. I would go talk to your advisor and/or the office in charge of study abroad programs would have a lot of helpful information. I have found out most of what i needed to know from them and also the schools website. Most websites will have a special link for international students and some are even specific for individual countries. If you don't know what school you want just google it (ex. graduate nursing programs in the UK) or something like that but with what you want to study. At my current college the advisors weren't very helpful finding an international college that would be good for me so i had to do that part on my own but once i had a few in mind we requested information on the specific progams i was interested in and the UK schools will mail you a lot of stuff.

Generally, for postgraduate courses in the UK one goes to each university's web-site not to an official central service. A commercial but well regarded place to start, however, would be the Hobsons postgraduate courses website. They work closely with the British Council, a government run body, who would also be worth approaching. In the UK UCAS is the official central service for applications for undergraduate courses. As far as i am aware there is no equivalent facility for postgraduate courses. However, their website will let you search for undergraduate courses by topic, so if you're interested in something very specific (e.g. forensic engineering rather than law, as the latter would be offered in many places) it might point you towards universities who are strong in your area of interest. I'd recommend you start with Hobsons.
