Applications to universities in the UK

Universities in the UK have an international reputation of excellence, with many frequently ranked among the very top universities in the world, notably University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and London School of Economics.

There are five main course types available at UK universities

Students studying in the UK usually begin higher education with an undergraduate (Bachelor’s) degree at the age of 18. Bachelor’s degrees typically last three years, although courses in Scotland are usually a year longer.

For some subjects you can enrol on an undergraduate degree that leads directly on to a master’s program – usually totaling four years. Some UK universities also offer fast-track undergraduate courses which can be completed in as little as two years. Master’s programs usually last one year and Doctorates (PhDs) at least three.

Universities in the UK are usually very accommodating to international students. Some have courses are specially designed or adapted to be more accessible for students from other countries studying in the UK.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

Study Links often prove vital for the communication between school and parents, particularly where the parents speak little or no English, and they provide necessary support when it comes to arranging travel arrangements for children either side of school holidays.

Marketing Manager, Fulneck School
Without Study Links my daughter would have been lost when she arrived in England. From day one, they offered a guiding hand and the support that a parent wants to give their child, but can’t give when they are so far away from home. They found a wonderful homestay family for my daughter, and each stay was well organised. Thank you Study Links!

Mrs Chen, Parent of Daisy
I have had some wonderful moments when my students have asked to bring friends home and we have had an enjoyable ‘family’ style gathering, with much laughter. We have celebrated students’ birthdays and birthdays of my family members involving students.

Nessa Nedd, Study Links Homestay
This is my first year in the UK and Study Links have helped me to settle in to my new school. I get on really well with my host family and they treat me like their daughter. They make me feel like part of their family and I really enjoy staying with them.
