Studying an Undergraduate course abroad.

This covers all BA and Bsc courses. Bachelors courses are traditionally for high school graduates or those with an International Baccalaureate or A-levels. However there are many other routes in, especially for the International Student. There are access or foundation courses or community colleges which can be taken as steps to a degree.

A bachelors course would generally last three to four years depending in which country you study. However, some private universities have full degrees that can be completed in two years and in some parts of the world can take over four years. Many degree courses now include a 'sandwich' year or placement year where the student works in a related area. This adds time to the study length. International students must check that they are eligible to work in the country of study.

If you are applying to the UK, application is done through UCAS. More information can be found on www.ucas.ac.uk . However it is also advisable to contact the institutions first.

Students looking to apply to the United States must apply directly to the institution and follow the application from there.

To apply to Canada, again contact the institution first. Once you have been accepted follow the procedures from there. As Canada does not have a national education system the procedures vary between provinces, so check.

This is also true in Europe, different countries have different procedures so check with the institutions you are applying to for the correct application procedure(s).
