There are many things to enjoy as a student studying abroad in the UK, and many things you will be unfamiliar with. INTO will help you to adjust to British life and culture in every way. The following section features important information about students studying abroad in the UK, ranging from visas and banking to entertainment, public transport and health services.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >It's important to plan your expenses as an international student in advance. Use the following section for advice on budgeting</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >Practical information</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >We do not advise carrying large sums of cash with you on arrival. We recommend that you bring enough cash with you to cover your first two weeks in the UK - no more than £250 for your immediate needs. It is safer to bring large sums of money in travellers' cheques which can be cashed in banks, post offices and airports, but be aware that there is often a minimum commission charge. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in the UK, MasterCard (Access) and Visa being the most common. Diners Club and American Express are less commonly accepted. You can withdraw money from a cash machine (also known as an 'ATM' or cash point) if you have a Personal Identification Number (PIN) for that card.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >You may want to inform your current bank that you are moving to the UK and ask if you can use your card here.</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >Currency</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >Currency across the UK is the pound sterling (£GBP). One pound is divided into one hundred pence (100p). Notes are issued to the value of £50, £20, £10, and £5, and coins to the value of £2, £1, 50p, 20p, 10p, 5p, 2p and 1p. Please note that £50 notes are very uncommon and should be avoided as they can often be the target of counterfeiters.</span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >Bank accoun</span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >ts</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >UK banks are open 9am to 4.30pm on weekdays, and some are open on Saturday mornings. If you are going to be here for longer than six months, we strongly recommended you open a UK bank account when you arrive.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >For further advice on opening bank accounts in the UK visit the UKCISA site.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >Living costs</span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is important to plan for the cost of living in the UK in advance. It is estimated that an average student needs approximately £650-£750 a month to cover their basic living expenses. This is just an indication and should be adjusted depending on your lifestyle and spending habits. Click here for an international student cost calculator to help with planning your finances.</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family: arial;">Do you need a visa?</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A visa is generally needed if you (or your family) are nationals of a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland. This visa is called "entry clearance" because it gives you permission to enter the UK.</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">If you are a national of the EEA or Switzerland, you do not need immigration permission to enter the UK.</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">You can check your status and whether you need a visa on the</span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/doineedvisa/"> UK Border Agency website</a><span style="font-family: arial;">.</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We advise that you check these websites for up to date information on visas:</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family: arial;">Personal safety</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">While you're unlikely to be affected by crime as a student in the UK, it is important to take basic security measures. Health and safety in-centre is everyone's responsibility, and if you do see something that concerns you or your classmates, please report it to our reception staff who will make sure it's dealt with immediately.</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">At each of our centres we provide students with an emergency contact number which can be used at any time, day or night. You can also report a crime at any time by phoning 0800-555-111. This call is free from anywhere in the country. The police use this system to receive information without asking the identity of the caller.</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Uniplan medical and travel insurance</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Uniplan Insurance is a comprehensive insurance policy designed for international students in the UK. Full medical and travel insurance is mandatory for all INTO students, and Uniplan insurance will automatically be added to your course fees unless proof of suitable cover is provided.</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family: arial;">Students under 18</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Under the law of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, any person under the age of 18 is regarded as a child, and is the responsibility of their parents. INTO Student Services look after the welfare of all INTO students, but particularly those under the age of 18 who may need extra help and support. Our Student Services staff have extensive experience in providing pastoral care for international students, and in some cases have been overseas students themselves.</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family: arial;">To parents of students under 18</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">While INTO will do everything possible to care for your child during their studies, we cannot take full parental responsibility for them. We strongly recommend that you appoint a guardian who is a resident in the UK for your child. A guardian is someone who can act in your place if there are any problems or emergencies. They will provide an added level of care for your child and give you extra peace of mind.</span></span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Guardianship options:</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> 1. If you have a trusted friend or relative living in the UK who is over 21 years of age, they will be eligible to act as your child's guardian</span></span>
<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> 2. There are a variety of guardianship agencies in the UK. You should look for one that is a member of </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.aegisuk.net/">AEGIS</a></span>

It’s impossible to know exactly how much you will spend whilst you are here, but the following forms a break down of the estimated average student expenditure for the next academic year.</span><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 324px; height: 394px; font-family: arial;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNq0kvThj3gRC9TF-Eb9NjlFPgvb74aGl2fyF5Wjj9TVknt9eteeTeJoO9lVqzT3v_MUMrDdVT9l-JT9n7-Bwer_EahtKNPYf4JcSPiL24sigFBn-mhanznT1HgY_dYbnTCD4ayntp63I/s400/rft.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616633553196485714" border="0" /><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">Please remember that this is an estimated cost of attendance table so you’ll need to increase or decrease the figures to meet your circumstances. The number of weeks is generally 39 for pre-clinical students and 52 for clinical students. The tuition fees shown above will also vary depending on your course.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">It is important that you have enough money to cover all your costs, but it is also sensible not to take out larger loans than you need.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">International Student Calculator</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">UKCISA have teamed up with UNIAID to develop a new online tool to help international students plan and manage their finances for studies in the UK.

The college has its origins in 1733, and was the second institution in England to provide formal training courses for doctors (after the University of Oxford). As of 2008 the medical school accepted around 100 graduates, 175 undergraduates and 10 students from overseas making it one of the larger UK medical schools.<br /><br />St George’s was the first institution in the UK to offer a Graduate Entry Programme to Medicine open to graduates from any discipline. We are the only specialist, independent medical and healthcare institution within the University of London. There are currently 2,900 full-time undergraduate students and 400 postgraduate students and our location means that students can walk the corridors from clinical teaching room to laboratory to hospital ward.<br /><br />One of the unique features of our courses is that undergraduate students from most subject areas are taught together in the first semester. This gives our students an opportunity to share learning with other future healthcare professionals and to make a start on the team-building that is vital to the delivery of modern healthcare.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>Medical schools</span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Address<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">St George’s, University of London</span><br />Cranmer Terrace<br />London SW17 0RE<br />Telephone +44 (0) 20 8725 2333</span></div>the onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044346358383303989.post-11002318479855405872010-06-28T04:48:00.000-07:002010-06-28T05:05:02.762-07:00School of Oriental and African Studies " SOAS" - Study in University at London<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;">Studying In London Programmes Study in politics concerning Asia, Africa and the Middle East </span><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 128px; font-style: italic;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-gUv32_MiofQR2cB4oWi2e0185rVcJrO-ZvIpckerv1CdEMTaoIzwdOI-N6JVuBaY3Y5qDmlzQoXMqdYJG-SCJCFXW5s16fmOn7Aec83VTJn1bsC65n49ll9sI3RikY7ttxm5Sp176q4/s400/kk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5487794012484499586" border="0" /><span style="font-style: italic;">and law and social sciences, languages and cultures and arts and humanities.</span><br /><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) </span>is the only higher education institution in Europe that specialises in the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Founded in 1916, it has grown in size and reputation to offer an unrivalled combination of scholarship and specialist collections. Many students have passed through its doors including luminaries such as Paul Robeson.<br /><br />SOAS is a unique institution offering programmes in law and social sciences, languages and cultures and arts and humanities.

Many students have work and family commitments while studying, the External System offers a longer period of time to complete a degree compared with those studying face-to-face in London. Students generally have three to eight years to complete an undergraduate degree and two to five years to complete a postgraduate degree.

Some British universities give a bachelor's degree in science, or medical science, mid-way through the medical course, and most allow students to intercalate a year of more specialised study for a Bachelor of Science (BSc), Bachelor of Medical Science (BMedSci) or Bachelor of Medical Biology (BMedBiol) degree with honours.<br />Although notionally MB and BChir are two degrees, they must be taken together, and by convention entitle the bearer to use the title of Doctor. In some Irish universities a third degree, Bachelor of the Art of Obstetrics (BAO), is added.<br />The non-university (licentiate) qualifications allowing registration as a medical practitioner in the UK, which have not been awarded by the United Examining Board since 1999, also conferred the courtesy title of "doctor</span></div>the onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044346358383303989.post-24263010763573987532008-08-21T11:12:00.000-07:002008-08-21T11:16:19.349-07:00bachelor's degrees (new)<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">New bachelor's degrees<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237036360291221650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisvG71xZDPq8bSrxKSsngJyQ-1ZX0sk7rH-Ps7WXEQFiglCia_UjjUH4sO2HgK7Z7qZuv4l-wiUhtP6k2nGqb-DU6-vEirW2dDGsy2AJ6twcSNQkr4Nd9H-bi7Zy39kizHG159RiSqnJk/s320/o1x.JPG" border="0" />The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge are perhaps alone in the United Kingdom today in awarding the B.A. for all undergraduate degrees. Almost all American universities award both B.A. and B.S. degrees, though a number of small liberal arts colleges award only the B.A. (e.g. Hamilton College). However, on a global scale, in many universities over the last hundred years the range of bachelor's degrees has expanded enormously, especially in Australia, New Zealand, India and South Africa. This represents a move towards specialization in tertiary education, in which college or university in these countries is intended to be training for a specific career, and therefore akin to vocational education. It is a departure from the liberal arts approach common in the United States, in which the graduate is versed in a wide variety of subjects in addition to an academic major, with the intent they be well prepared to pursue any number of careers, or a progression of careers</span></div>the onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044346358383303989.post-51246342102277274612008-08-21T10:23:00.000-07:002008-08-21T10:39:30.676-07:00Bachelor's degrees<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>Bachelor's degrees in England, Wales and Northern Ireland </em></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237024265761655346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzFDGarqriP2CHB9Bq6azwE7kP7ApjHmYxR6HaCyOUoVhtlnWwregflp7e2fjfBQpDhvW9LOm40laPfVfO4QP4a7SEAZ1iADpaZt9zVE1vZlmO41CrF-S5-P0K_olcGtiNXL6uCzcB5gQ/s320/gj7.JPG" border="0" />The degrees awarded carry a designation related to the broad subject area such as BA, BSc, BEng etc. The majority of Bachelor's degrees are now honours degrees. Prior to the mid 20th century all candidates would take an Ordinary degree, and then be selected to go on for a final year for the Honours degree. Now this may be reduced to two either by direct second year entry (for people who have done foundation degrees or changed subject or similar) or by doing compressed courses (which are being piloted by several newer universities). For funding reasons (funding for undergraduate programs is automatic, funding for postgraduate programs is not) it is becoming increasingly common to skip the Bachelor's stage entirely and go straight to Masters level on a four year (five year if with industrial experience) course (which often shares the first two years with the equivalent Bachelor's course).<br />Honours degrees are of a superior academic standard. However the practice of writing 'Hons' as part of the degree designation is untraditional and some consider it to be an affectation. An Honours degree is always awarded in one of four classes depending upon the marks gained in the final assessments and examinations. The top students are awarded a first class degree, the next best, an upper second class degree (usually referred to as a 2:1), the next a lower second class degree (usually referred to as a 2:2), and those with the lowest marks gain a third class degree. An Ordinary or unclassified degree (which does not give the graduate the right to add '(Hons)') may be awarded if a student has completed the full honours degree course but hasn't obtained the total required passes sufficient to merit a third-class honours degree. Alternatively a degree may be denied honours if the student has had to retake courses. An ordinary degree usually requires 300 CATS points whereas an honours degree requires 360 CATS points. It is possible to be awarded an ordinary degree with distinction if the average of the 300 CATS points is 70%+.<br />Ordinary degrees are unclassified degrees awarded to all students who have completed the course and obtained sufficient marks to pass the final assessments and examinations. Ordinary degree courses usually have lower entry requirements than Honours degree courses. Although Ordinary degree courses are often considered to be easier than Honours degree courses, this is not always the case, and much depends on the university attended and the subject being studied. Some modern universities offer the opportunity for Ordinary degree students to transfer to an Honours degree course in the same subject if an acceptable standard is reached after the first or second year of study.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><strong>Today,</strong> the most common undergraduate degrees given are the Bachelor of Arts (Artium Baccalaureus) (BA, AB) and the Bachelor of Science (Scientiæ Baccalaureus) (BS, BSc, SB, ScB). Originally, in the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Trinity College Dublin, all undergraduate degrees were in the Faculty of Arts, hence the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Since the late 19th century, most universities in the English-speaking world have followed the practice of the University of London in dividing undergraduate degree subjects into the two broad categories of arts and sciences, awarding the degree of Bachelor of Science to students of the latter category of subjects.</span></div>the onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044346358383303989.post-86893341786456499472008-08-21T09:22:00.000-07:002008-08-21T09:27:02.692-07:00Master of Science<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237008168498971570" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-KEXVDhzPWQRR3TaxJURcQ7E9KmrFpjmCBdUPDJ9odGUZK3u7tEdstJ5vSjh7NA-O1HSKy9TkHK8T_9HmTNqEcN1p1FpwuQnfT-5AhcBRCWSHOCAdtqiepps3_rExaRYKBP79HaksUl8/s320/h63f.JPG" border="0" />Master of Science is a postgraduate academic master's degree awarded by universities in a large number of countries. The degree is typically studied for in the sciences and occasionally in the social sciences.<br />The MSc is typically a "taught" postgraduate degree, involving lectures, examination, and a short project. Taught masters programmes involve 1 or 2 years of full-time study. Some universities also offer research MSc programmes, where a longer project or set of projects is undertaken full-time.<br />The Master of Science degree should not be confused with the more recent MSci, or Master in Science degree, now offered by U.K. institutions. This is an extended undergraduate degree, with honours awarded, and is intended to better prepare students for postgraduate study. Many research universities are now demanding MSci degrees for entry to PhD research programmes.<br />This education pattern in United Kingdom is followed in many Commonwealth Nations such as India, Pakistan, Canada.</span></div>the onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044346358383303989.post-49188269353254251832008-08-21T09:10:00.000-07:002008-08-21T09:18:47.353-07:00Master of Research<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>University-Collage study program</em></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5237005926538213058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijWmkHTv0stM7yOt9k_YN-dMHI3WoYXVBYAIedITMH7rgPUMxKz_iTksvttVP16__laBPGTE0VxeCBBNP_FDfLePbZMSnRqNEiB7dsGkX-qb2TGqv1VgqNdR768_mm0ZH7ZEuHCZ7UbC4/s320/y75g.JPG" border="0" />In the United Kingdom , the <strong>Master of Research</strong> degree is a postgraduate degree available in a range of academic disciplines. The MRes is designed to prepare students for doctoral research MRes can also stand for Master's by Research, or Master's in Research<br />Many MRes courses are advanced postgraduate degrees which differ from taught Masters degrees by placing particular emphasis on a large dissertation (typically between 35-40,000 words) in addition to fewer taught modules.<br />In addition to specified MRes courses, at some universities an MRes may be awarded to a student who begins an Engineering Doctorate but chooses not to complete the full period of study for the Engineering Doctorate, typically four years or more, but has completed a sufficient dissertation and taught content to be acceptable for the MRes, typically after completion of a "mini-thesis" after 2 years or more of study.

These are taught courses, with a research element in the final year, this can vary from a small component to an entire year working with a research group -- and are not available as postgraduate qualifications in most cases, although depending on institution the final year can be considered as approximately equivalent to an MSc. Most British universities offer both the traditional three year or four courses in physics, leading to a BSc, or MPhys respectively.<br /><strong>Structure<br /></strong>In terms of course structure, MPhys degrees usually follow the pattern familiar from bachelor's degrees with lectures, laboratory work, coursework and exams each year. Usually one, or more commonly two, substantial projects are to be completed in the fourth-year which may well have research elements. At the end of the second or third years, there is usually a threshold of academic performance in examinations to be reached to allow progression into the final year.

The degree is awarded by all of the schools of pharmacy in the UK and superseded the BSc (Pharmacy) and BPharm degrees when the length of the undergraduate pharmacy course was increased from three to four years in 1997 as part of EU harmonisation. The initial 3 years of the degree are taught at undergraduate level (failure to complete the 3rd year with satisfactory marks can result in the awarding of a BPharmSci (Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science) degree) and the final year is taught at postgraduate level in order to attain a Masters degree.<br />The MPharm is the only qualification in the UK which leads to professional registration as a pharmacist. MPharm programs are accredited by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) in England, Scotland and Wales and jointly by the RPSGB and Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland in Northern Ireland.<br />Aspiring pharmacists in the UK qualify by first completing this degree, then undertaking a year of pre-registration training. On successful completion of this training they become registered pharmacists and members of the relevant pharmaceutical society, and can use the postnominal letters MRPharmS (Member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain) or MPSNI (Member of the Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland).<br />Universities<br />United Kingdom universities (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) offering Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) degrees:<br /><strong>Pharmacy program in England</strong><br />Aston University – Birmingham<br />University of Bath – Bath<br />University of Bradford – Bradford<br />University of Brighton – Brighton<br />De Montfort University – Leicester<br />University of East Anglia - Norwich<br />University of Huddersfield - Huddersfield<br />Liverpool John Moores University – Liverpool<br />Keele University - Keele<br />King's College London – Chelsea<br />Kingston University/St George's - South West London/South London<br />Medway School of Pharmacy - University of Greenwich/University of Kent<br />The School of Pharmacy, University of London<br />University of Hertfordshire - Hatfield<br />University of Manchester – Manchester<br />University of Nottingham – Nottingham<br />University of Portsmouth – Portsmouth<br />University of Reading - Reading<br />University of Sunderland – Sunderland<br />University of Wolverhampton - Wolverhampton<br /><strong>Pharmacy program Northern Ireland</strong><br />Queen's University Belfast (QUB) – Belfast<br />Pharmacy program Scotland<br />Robert Gordon University – Aberdeen<br />Strathclyde University - Glasgow<br /><strong>Pharmacy program Wales</strong><br />University of Wales – Cardiff, (Welsh School of Pharmacy) </span></div>the onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044346358383303989.post-43813382555991754842008-08-21T06:39:00.000-07:002008-08-21T06:47:00.112-07:00Pharmacy programs<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><em>University-Collage study program of Pharmacy</em></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236966971567656306" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmQHgB0h1IRtiovyccpnTyh1DUD_R3aPPa5fhyphenhyphenBKXXPqG3RQcNOGTXGxqeZE2oBcQwMkErZusuECAz9h9ismGdyvayf3UScynEJdm2owa2545QWKY0Sn1viuXDxpaVNcA83RQdbbLOv2E/s320/y3s.JPG" border="0" />Bachelor of Pharmacy </strong>(abbreviated BPharm) is an undergraduate academic degree in the field of pharmacy.<br />In the United Kingdom, the BPharm degree was awarded following a three-year undergraduate pharmacy program.

(also LLM or LL.M)The LL.M. degree is a course of specialized research pursued after earning a first degree in law (such as a LL.B., B.C.L. or J.D.).<br /><strong>In the United Kingdom</strong>, an LLM programme is open to those holding a recognised legal qualification, generally an undergraduate degree in Laws or a CPE. They do not have to be or intend to be legal practitioners. An LLM is not always a sufficient qualification in itself to practice as a solicitor or barrister but is an opportunity to gain specialist knowledge of a particular area of law and/or an understanding of the legal systems of other nations. As with other degrees, an LLM can be studied on a part-time basis at many institutions and in some circumstances by distance learning.<br />Some institutions allow those without legal qualifications onto their LLM programme although there are still minimum educational requirements, such as an undergraduate degree, or evidence of substantial professional experience in a related field. Examples of such institutions include the University of London External System which has been offering LLM studies to both LLB and non-law graduates since 1925 , the University of Edinburgh (LLM degree by distance learning) and the University of Leicester . In addition, Queen's University offers an LLM suite, accessible to legal and social science graduates, leading to specialisms in sustainable development, corporate governance, devolution or human rights. </span></div>the onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044346358383303989.post-62885250525796697102008-08-19T14:15:00.000-07:002008-08-19T14:18:47.505-07:00Master of Enterprise (M.Ent.)<div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236341088453164322" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi05lJhKF4ZkYHLbcSvZ3a43K9lRGeBG1NNZLHmZhe7N629vxb69Rrks3joqQvNuiRDWlCwG7ejajSHg-y0p7mup9WFSnp1lmTmhg9b7jPL5xtshGH5Gl5jn45WTsnDVvzuerQnKivI5bw/s320/mv1w.JPG" border="0" />Master of Enterprise (M.Ent.)

The nine larger colleges are Birkbeck, Goldsmiths, King's College London, the London Business School, the London School of Economics, Queen Mary, Royal Holloway, the School of Oriental and African Studies, and University College London (UCL).<br />For most practical purposes, ranging from admission of students to negotiating funding from the government, the 19 constituent colleges are treated as individual universities. Within the university federation they are known as Recognised Bodies, with the authority to examine students and have the university award them degrees. Some colleges have recently obtained the power to award their own degrees and the University has amended its statutes to allow them to do so and remain in the university. For instance, beginning in the 2007/08 academic year, King's College London, the London School of Economics and the University College London will be awarding their own degree certificates while retaining their constituent colleges status within the University of London.</span></div>the onehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10563020951511815321noreply@blogger.com0
