<p>I'm currently a High School Senior, and was accepted - among others - into Pace University with a full Scholarship for their Biochemistry Bachelors Program. Now, I plan on transferring to a better University after boosting my GPA a little. More specifically, I want to transfer to a University in England. I am rather clueless on how to organize/arrange this, and I'm unsure whether I could lose Credits due to transferring halfway through my 4 year Bachelors Degree.</p>
<p>Could anyone with more intricate knowledge of the mechanics of International Educations enlighten me? What should I take care of, and when should I let Pace know of my decision?</p>
<p>Itâs the UK not England. Get it right. I doubt you will be allowed to transfer. You have to start again usually. At least at the decent universities. Where you are you thinking of?</p>
<p>I was referring to England specifically, because Iâm not interested in Wales and Scotland. I suggest you check your facts before trying to correct others.</p>
<p>I have yet to investigate intricately, so Iâm open to all urban Institutions with a Neuroscience Program. Iâm mostly worried about accreditation and immigration, though.</p>
<p>Immigration wonât be a problem if you can show you have enough money. You shouldnât expect to automatically remain in the UK after graduating, though.</p>
<p>Transferring might be harder than you think. Since English uni courses are not âmodularâ and the academic standard is higher than in the US, itâs unlikely youâd be able to transfer.</p>
<p>No he meant England, get it right. UK would imply that he would want to go anywhere else in the UK when he specified England. Donât be an a**hole.</p>
<p>TS, there is much to do on your part. Learn about getting a Student Visa and ask your school for a print out of Universities in England that are affiliated with US (Which there are many) that way you can possibly use financial aid to help you.</p>
<p>Also, most of your credits do transfer over so donât listen to the âIt is UK not Englandâ guy. Email the Universities you are thinking about applying to and they can help you further. Most Universities in England also have American Scholarships for people just like you!</p>
<p>I believe in UK unity. As Neither England Scotland or Wales are sovereign nations in their own right, it makes more sense to refer to the UK. I donât see why I should change my views for some minor people on internet forum, especially one with an incorrect latin name.</p>
<p>In general, it is very difficult to transfer in the UK. They donât really have that concept here. So probably you would have to start again in the first year. However, this may not be a bad thing as depending on the subject studied, many courses only last 3 years. So you would only end up with 4 years college in total, including your year in the US.</p>
<p>There are very very very few scholarships of any sort at any uni for international undergrads. This is basically how UK unis make their money. I hope Clydefrog can send us a link to the scholarships s/he thinks exist.</p>
<p>Sorry but this makes absolutely no sense. Even if you believe in UK unity, there might well be reasons to refer to the constituent parts. What if the person really wanted to go somewhere that speaks Scots or Scottish Gaelic, so had posted âI want to go to school in Scotlandâ ⊠would you correct them and say they really mean the UK?</p>
<p>Itâs not an ideological thing. I donât believe in UK unity - I canât wait for the UK to break up, or at least for some form of devo max. But since it still exists, Iâm happy to refer to the UK.</p>
<p>âI hope Clydefrog can send us a link to the scholarships s/he thinks exist.â</p>
<p>Let me start by saying I am considering a transfer to England myself, therefore, I have done my research. There are so many scholarships for an International student I do not know where to begin. I have a list of over 100 colleges in the UK that are eligible for American Financial Aid and that will accept American credits. </p>
<p>Most of these schools on my list give scholarships for International Students; nevertheless, there are plenty of private scholarships that you can use at an University overseas and the possibilities are endless.</p>
<p>University of GreenwichâŠoh dearâŠhardly a good university. If you are going to travel all the way from the USA to the UK you might as well go for a good university - otherwise you will come back to the US with a degree that counts for little in the UK and even less in the US.</p>
<p>^
Thanks for the pessimistic reply and I already said that I have a list of over a hundred schools-including branches of Oxford and Cambridge. I was right about the opportunities for an American student in the UK and because you are bitter about that you discredit The University of Greenwich, sounds good.</p>
<p>ClydeFrog, where are all these scholarships then? Iâve hardly seen any. UK universities donât give home students scholarships, so why do you think they give them to internationals?</p>
<p>Talk to the higher ups like I did and get as much information as you can from International Services at your local University or State College. Email Universities about Scholarships or apply for private scholarships. I have read a few books about private scholarships and emailed several Universities for additional information whom are affiliated with United States. I cannot be any more clearer about this matter, do the research yourself-I have already laid out the map. Good luck to you all.</p>
<p>The âUniversityâ of Greenwich currently is ranked 102/118 in the UK. What would be the point in coming from the US to study at a university that people in the UK think is Crap?</p>
<p>Oxford and Cambridge do not have âbranchesâ get your terminology correct - or do you really know that little about the UK system? Are you claiming that they are âaffiliated with the United Statesâ (Nonsense) I think you are spreading dangerous misinformation. As Dionysos said, why would they fund Americans when they donât fund home Students?</p>
<p>^ Generally agreed. There <em>are</em> some scholarships for foreigners to study in the UK, but they are extremely prestigious and competitive. Think Rhodes/Fulbright. You wonât be getting those.</p>
These are mostly (possibly all? I think Rhodes are) for graduate students in any case. Very many foreign students in the UK have some kind of scholarship or loan from their own country, but I would guess much less than 1% get anything from a UK university. I donât think there are hordes of âhigher upsâ who will only speak to ClydeFrog hiding hundreds of scholarships for overseas students somehow.</p>
