Hello i am currently wrapping up community college in florida with an AA with english, and i was wondering if its even a possibility to transfer to a international university. I would really like to study in the U.K or any other places with strong english academics. Thanks!
Well, if you transfer to the UK, you’ll start in year 1 and will have 1 more year of classes + 1 year of a thesis. Wyhat’s your GPA? Also, what’s your budget? (No financial aid)
University of Auckland accepts international transfer students.
I have a 3.8 GPA and close to $90k saved up for university.
Programs at English unis are generally 3 years.
You may be able to skip year 1, but most likely, they’d accept you in to the start of their 3 year program.
Their colleges (between HS and uni) generally cover what you cover in CC.
But you’d have to know what you want to study, however. You enter a course where you concentrate on a subject or two.
You could, but Community Colleges cover about the material of British academic high schools, so with the rigid fixed curriculum, you would probably start at year 1 of 3 in England or Canada.
@sattut, more like the material in English colleges (between HS and uni).
With an Associates degree with a 3.8 GPA, and assuming you have your GED as well, its worth a shot. Your savings should cover 3 years at an English, Welsh or NI university but you will need to start from year 1. To be honest you are unlikely to matriculate to the tippy top schools but there plenty of quality alternatives. Try avoid London and the south east as the cost of living will have a material affect. Last time I checked UCAS cost around $35 total to apply to 5 universities so it wont break the bank to give it a try. At the very least you will be able to contact schools you are interested in directly as most will have an international student liaison officer where you can ask questions and receive advice on your academic standing via e mail. Good luck.
Oh, and besides the non-Scottish UK unis, I believe many Irish unis (not TCD) are also 3 year.
Yeh, you might get into a better school in England or Canada than the US, because you would probably be coming in as 1st year of 3 rather than 3rd pf 4. So from the point of view of an English school, you would have solid preparation, as opposed to relatively weak preparation for a US school. You are not likely to get into a really top school anywhere without high test scores from high school. However, you could probably get an excellent education in England, so it isn’t a bad idea.
Canadian unis are 4 years, however.
In many ways, they are similar to large public American flagships.
