1, saving time
Postgraduates in Britain are divided into teaching system and research system. Most teaching graduate students can complete their studies within one year, and they can apply for a PSW visa for two years after graduation, which is convenient for students to practice and find job opportunities, and is the first choice for most students and parents; The research master's degree is for students who want to continue to apply for a doctorate. The academic system is two years.
Most students are worried about whether the British postgraduate 1 year academic system will have a low teaching quality. In fact, Britain has always taken the route of quality education. The holidays in Britain are only Christmas, Easter and summer vacation, which add up to only two and a half months, which is equivalent to nine and a half months of classes for students this year. In other western countries, the total holiday will reach 4-6 months. Although it is a two-year system, the real study time in school is no longer than that in Britain.
2. The cost is relatively low.
Many parents have a stereotype that Britain costs a lot. This is because 10 years ago, the exchange rate of RMB against British pound was 1: 15, and now it is 1:8.5, which means the cost is halved. 10 years ago, 10 years, you need to prepare 500,000 yuan. Now 250,000-300,000 yuan a year can satisfy students' study and life. Therefore, the cost of studying abroad for British graduate students is roughly 300,000-350,000; Compared with other 2-3-year graduate students in western countries, the total cost can be saved by 200,000-300,000.
3. The diploma has high gold content.
Founded in 1096, Oxford University is the oldest existing high-end institution in the world, and it has been nearly 1000 years since its establishment. 200 years later, in order to let more talented people receive quality education, students of Oxford University established Cambridge University on 1209. /kloc-In the 5th century, Columbus discovered the new continent of America. In order to educate the people in this land, students from Oxford and Cambridge jointly founded Harvard University, the first institution of higher learning in the United States, on 1636.
Since then, the top three universities in the world have been born, from which we can find that the whole history of western education began to develop in Britain. So Britain is also a country in the world, and the degree certificates issued by college students after graduation are honorary bachelor's degrees; In other western countries, such as the United States, Australia, Canada and so on, only 65,438+00% graduates can get an honorary bachelor's degree every year. In addition to completing the on-campus examination, you also need to take the national unified examination for outstanding students and get an honorary bachelor's degree. This is why the British postgraduate degree is naturally half a step higher than the diplomas of foreign students in other countries.
4. All majors
Britain led the first and second industrial revolutions. Watt created the steam engine and made a historic contribution to the liberation of the labor force for all mankind. In order to train a large number of professionals, Britain invested heavily in establishing six red brick universities in the19th century to meet the booming industrial tide, and also established Britain's leading position in the industrial field. BBC Communication Company was founded in 1922. As the earliest media company in the world, it surprised people all over the world with the voice of the British. The decades-long cooperation between Cardiff University and CCTV in university of westminster and China has helped China to establish its own news and media channels, and has also established an unparalleled reputation among China media enterprises. As the capital of the world, London's political, trade and financial influence in the world is obvious to all. The annual financial transaction volume in London exceeds that of new york and Tokyo combined. PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte, the world's four largest audit firms, were established in London, England. This has also created the heyday of British business schools, Warwick University and Manchester University, focusing on European business and financial research, consolidating Britain's advantage as the world's first financial city; International universities such as London School of Economics and Political Science and London Business School attract high-level talents from all over the world to obtain fresh information and ideas, and rely on these outstanding alumni in the future financial sector to continuously expand the global influence of British finance, thus forming a unique and global advantage of British business.

First, go out early.
General airlines require passengers to arrive at the airport at least three hours in advance to check in. Because the airport will stop check-in half an hour before the plane takes off, everyone will leave early as required.
Second, prepare documents.
You also need to prepare your own registration documents in advance, including passports, visas, admission notices, etc. And the boarding pass will only be given to students when they register. Everyone prepares a folder to put them together separately.
Third, check in
After arriving at the airport, if there are no other arrangements, you can check in directly to avoid the rush hour of subsequent boarding. First, you must go to the station building to get your boarding pass.
Everyone needs to show their ID card and passport. After the inspection, the staff will change your boarding pass. In the meantime, you need to check your luggage.

First, the fake landlord
Please pay attention to some house advertisements. They will be incredible, but the rent is very low. Some false advertisements put some "bait" and then ask you to pay through the internet before you see the house.
2. Repeated collection of credit assessment fees
Landlords often check the credit of potential tenants in the future. However, in order to prevent them from defaulting on their landlords, some intermediaries charge high credit check fees. Overall, the credit check report is about 100, but some intermediaries require tenants to pay higher fees.
To make matters worse, some agents will show you many apartments and then ask you to do multiple credit checks, which is totally unnecessary, because the credit check will only tell the landlord and tenant the previous credit records.
3. Non-refundable handling fee
Once, an international student told me that she was charged a handling fee of 2 10 by the intermediary because she thought the house was hers. Then her agent told her that the landlord accepted another offer, but her handling fee could not be refunded to her.
Other worse things have happened, and the tenant even paid a handling fee of 540 pounds. You should refuse to pay the handling fee until you are sure that the house is yours.
In addition, if you communicate with the landlord in person, you may not need to pay any fees. You can even find houses on some social networking sites, such as Facebook and Weibo. Some universities have the landlord's personal contact information. In Scotland, there is no tenant fee.
4. Unprotected deposits
According to the law, owners must protect their tenants' deposits in one of the following three projects: deposit protection plan, my deposit and lease deposit plan.
Still, some landlords won't do this. It is very important to determine which project they use to protect your deposit before signing the contract, and to ensure that they can produce evidence to prove that your deposit has been protected, which can avoid future disputes.
Every deposit protection project has a free appeal service. You can use this service if the landlord deliberately refuses to refund the deposit. Please ask your agent for the reference number, and then call them yourself to find out whether your deposit is protected.
5. Expensive search fees
Some companies charge you an expensive house search fee, which is wrong. You shouldn't pay any house search fees.
VI. Multiple documents
If you want to get an extra contract, there may be extra expenses.
Seven. Change of lease term
You may have to pay a fee for the change of lease term and the change of tenant name.
Eight, the rent increase
Real estate agents and landlords will raise your rent in some cases. Please find out the rent of similar houses in the same area, and then use these to discuss with the landlord.
IX. Renewal fee
If you want to renew your lease, please note that some agents will charge you for renewal.
