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 always ensure that the school is fully informed of the details of the homestay arrangements made for our students. We have found them to be knowledgeable, reliable, swift to respond to any concerns and all aspects of our relationship have been very good.

Headmaster, Woodhouse Grove School
If I have any problems in the UK, the first thing I do is tell Study Links, because they will actually give you solutions to sort out the problems. I remember when I first came to school in the UK I couldn’t speak English at all. Because of them, my English has improved a lot and I am studying English as a first language now!

Billy, Study Links Student, Fyling Hall School
Study Links cared for my children like they were their own children and for this I am grateful. I never worried for their safety when they were under Study Links’ care. I would always recommend their service to any parents thinking of sending their children to the UK.

Mr Wong, Parent of Samson and Samuel Wong
We have confidence in Study Links but so do our pupils and parents. I have dealt with many guardianship agencies during my years as Head. Study Links’ provision is by far the most impressive, since they are prepared to “go the extra mile” to ensure that parents and pupils are happy.

Headmaster, Terrington Hall School
