Erasmus
Erasmus enables higher education students and teachers from 31 European countries to study in another country for part of their degree. It lasts for one or two terms. British institutions have a great deal of partner universities across Europe compared with other European institutions, meaning that there are many choices of different European cities to spend their Erasmus placement. Usually there are more available Erasmus places than the number of students applying for them.
Overseas study programs
Overseas study programs are another added value of the universities in the UK. As a result of the expensive tuition fee (mostly twice as much as English fee), lack of student loan for tuition fee and the difficulties of getting VISA, studying in a university in the USA or Australia is quite uneasy. However British universities have lots of exchange programs with the overseas institutions.
Volunteer and paid job opportunities all over the world
A considerable amount of exciting and adventurous opportunities are provided by British universities for students. These include summer jobs and longer (8-12 month) placements like gap years. Examples of activities students have performed include providing support in building villages in Kenya (accommodation and food are provided, because this is a volunteer job) or working in a Californian golf club. The possibilities are endless!
Building your contacts from all over the world
Without a doubt, one of the biggest benefits of studying in the UK is making many new friends from all over the world. University life gives you a fantastic opportunity to build deep and life-long friendships. Life at university is not just about studying. There is a lot of spare time which you can spend with your peers, such as trips, sports, parties, or a walk in the afternoon. Students often visit each other over the summer break. The friendships made at the university will be invaluable in the future. There are a large number of international students at universities in the UK compared to other countries; therefore student life here creates a good platform to mingle and hang out with foreign students.
