Have a look at the universities’ websites! They often have a page dedicated to international academic partnerships with a list of all the foreign universities they work with.
      This might give you the opportunity to study in the UK in the framework of an international exchange programme.

      You can also enroll in a study abroad programme in the UK via a private organization. There are private companies which help international students find the right university abroad and facilitate their mobility. These private institutions have developed specific partnerships with reputable foreign universities, including in the UK. They will take care of administrative procedures and make sure and support you during your time abroad.

      Attending a study abroad programmes might be a good opportunity for you. It allows you to study a semester, a year or more at UK university without paying the British tuition fees. Instead, you will either pay the tuition fees of your university of origin or the fees required by the private organization you chose.

      Summer schools at British Universities

      Many British universities offer summer school programmes. The summer courses usually last between one to five weeks and generally take place in June, July  and August. These courses are meant to reinforce your existing knowledge of a precise subject or to introduce you to new aeras of study for the first time. Many courses are usually available at all levels. As summer schools are cheaper than studying a whole year in a British university, it can be a great opportunity for you to study in the UK while avoiding important tuition fees. On top of that, summer courses can make you gain valuable international experience while improving your English. You even might be able to acquire some credits that can be recognized as part of your education training. It all depends on the summer school programme you decide to choose. Don’t hesitate to ask the school

      The University College London, the University of Edinburgh, Oxford University, or the University of Leeds for example, are amongst the numerous British academic institutions which offer summer school programmes.

      To know which British university offers summer courses, you can visit their websites and find the perfect summer school programme depending on your interests and your needs. The majority of universities in the UK have a page dedicated to summer academic activities. In the context of the global Covid-19 pandemic, a lot of universities have developed online summer school programmes in 2021, which are available from anywhere in the world.

      Short University courses in England

      A variety of short courses are available in a lot of British universities. Short courses allow you to refresh your knowledge in a specific area, explore a new subject or enhance your professional and academic development. As their name indicates, short courses usually last no more than 10 hours, spread out over a few days; it all depends on the course and the university you choose.

      Short courses are usually good value for money as they allow you to take courses in renowned British academic institutions and gain valuable skills and knowledge. It also allows you to experience the British education system for cheap.

      Have a look online to see if the university you would like to join offers short courses!

      If you do not know where to start, here are some universities which have developed short courses programmes:

      • University College London
      • University of Westminster
      • University of London
      • University of Kent
      • University of Edinburgh

      Study abroad in the UK using your credits

      If you have already taken some courses at university level, completed a degree or a part of it and acquired some credits for it, you might be able to apply for a credit transfer in a British university.

      Of course, your new university will ask you to meet certain entry requirements to make sure you will do well.  You will also need to provide evidence of your previous study and the credits you have gained.

      Before applying, carefully check if the foreign university you would like to join recognizes your credits and your study path.
      Make also sure that your country and university of origin will recognize your experience abroad and allow you to make it count as part of your study path. Some institutions don’t accept credits or experience acquired at a non partner university. It is best to see with your academic advisor in order to make sure your abroad experience will be recognized.

      Applying for a credit transfer in a university in the UK and using your previous study is free. It allows you to reduce the amount of time you need to study to gain a degree and reduce the overall cost of studying in a British university.

      The United Kingdom left the European Union but remains in the European Higher Education Area which was implemented in the framework of the Bologna Process (intergovernmental process between 48 countries). It is notably at the origin of the principle of the generalization of ECTS credits for short cycles, first and second cycle for all these member countries. Therefore ECTS will remain recognized in the UK!

        Nacel is an exceptional school where you stand a good chance of brushing up on your English level. In fact, it's a big break for engaging with native English teachers and classmates all over the world. Teachers are always willing to clear up your doubts and they truly care about your progress with your English. Besides, you could go on outings alongside with the other learners and teachers which is a quite striking experience since you could hang out with foreign people while you learn more about British culture, customs and traditions. Therefore, I just want to thank all teachers (Anne-Marie, Jonathan, Tony and Nick),classmates and staff with whom I enjoyed meeting at Nacel as they really went a long way in boosting my confidence with English! So, if you are really into enhancing your English speaking, listening or writing, I recommend that you give it a shot at Nacel. It will undoubtedly be a remarkable life experience!

        I did a 6 week class back in 2016/1017 in preparation for the Cambridge Advanced Exam. Fellow students quick became friends and the time at the school was a great experience. I felt supported by the teachers and they could explain everything so well. I would recommend this school to everyone and I would go back there in a heart beat if I ever need to. Thank you Nacel, I miss you!

        The Nacel English School is fantastic and I really enjoy it. Last year I had pleasure to study there during three weeks. The English teachers are very good and kind also they have big skill to teach English. Now, in 2020, I’m whatching the live classes on social media and it’s great because I can learn more and review what I’ve learned 01 year ago. Thanks so much Nacel.

        I studied at Nacel 2 years ago and the school is amazing, with excellent teachers and staff. Surely having studied at Nacel made my exchange even better. And the live on instagram that Nacel is doing now has been very useful to continue learning. Thank you Nacel!!!

        I had a really good experience in this school. Today is my last day and I'm so impressed how my English has improved so much. All the teachers in this school are native English speakers. Maybe this is is the reason for my fast development and good pronunciation!

        It took me a while to decide which English school I wanted to go to because there are so many. Nacel English School had very good reviews so I thought I should go for this one. Indeed it is a great English school in London! My English improved much faster than I thought and the school has a great atmosphere. The teachers are very very nice, and they make the learning easy. The staff at the reception are always very helpful and made my stay in London much easier. I also like meeting people from around the world in the school, it’s easy to make friendships. I am very happy of my choice with this school.
