Study in Vancouver with an International Undergraduate or Graduate Study Preparation Programme

A 4 month pre application programme for English speaking Undergraduates

Many undergraduate students from around the world aspire to study in North American universities. However, even some top students struggle to perform well in a new academic setting that is far away from family and friends.  Without the proper academic and cultural skills, how do they choose appropriate courses, learn the dangers of plagiarism and the rules of citation, understand how majors are selected and changed, manage their time to include volunteer, athletic and club activities, and know when, where and how to apply for admission?

The International Undergraduate Study Preparation Program is the perfect preparation.

Choose From a 14 or 16 week programme for Graduates

Higher education at the graduate level (Master’s Degree) in a top North American university is considered by many international students to be a necessity for achieving their academic and career goals. In the competition for admission to graduate school and to achieve success in these advanced degree programs, students require a number of specific skills. For those unfamiliar with North American academic culture, quickly developing these essential skills can be a challenge.

Fees start from $1250 CAD

Study in Ontario , Canada and Florida , USA and take an Internship at Disney , Orlando

Sounds like a holiday, I know.
The best of it is that this opportunity is no only open to Degree Students but College students too.
You could be studying a Diploma in Business at St Lawrence College in Kingston , Ontario.
Being an existing student of St Lawrence is one of the prerequisites for the Disney package  but not only can you gain experience working at one of the world’s major tourist attractions , you can add to your diploma by coming away with a qualification in  Service Leadership or Intercultural Communication from Florida State University too.

The of study at St Lawrence is relatively low ; diploma programmes come in at an estimated $11500 CAD pa that’s about £ 7200.

Accommodation there will cost you an estimated $5500 Cad – about £3500 with meal plans to suit your needs too. I think the accommodation is pretty cool – take a look.

If you decide to head to Florida – its going to cost about $ 3995 USD and that’s about £2500 including accommodation.

And don’t forget, your're going to get 12 weeks paid work too – which will equate to about $2500 USD after the $80 or so has been deducted for your accommodation close to Disney World. You’ll earn about £1600 in the end. Mind you, I am guessing there is plenty to spend it on !

It is all about figures, an observation by Dan Billington of Study-International

22,000 UK Students chose to study abroad in 2009.
150,000 UK students now planning to study abroad.
70% of School leavers now considering Study Abroad
500,000 plus applications to Undergraduate programmes by  UK  to home universities in 2010.
200,000 rejected applications

Thousands of UK Undergrads heading abroad  says the Guardian.


In a report dated 13th June 2012, the Guardian newspaper suggests that many British  students are about to leave the United Kingdom and study abroad in their tens , if not hundreds, of thousands
Detailing the considerations faced by a student wanting to study abroad, the Guardian made the following statistical comparisons

“Going to university is a pretty big step, but moving abroad for three years to do your degree is an even bigger one. To date it's a choice that few UK students have made – 2009 figures from the OECD show just 22,000 opting to study in another country, a tiny proportion of the two million or so who stay at home.”

Whilst in reference to research completed  by the  graduate careers website;  Prospects, they further evidenced assumptions that might result in a mass student exodus overseas.

“More recent figures on who's moving abroad to study are hard to find, but a survey of school leavers and undergraduates carried out in March by Prospects showed that a quarter were planning to study abroad, over 70% more were considering it, and only 4% completely ruled it out “

Furthermore, In February this year, the Guardian also reported a fall in the numbers of UK undergraduate applications to University at home. The numbers then had been dramatically slashed by almost 9%. That alone equates to about  55000 students.

So do the figures stack up ?
In 2010, the guardian also reported that over half a million applications to undergraduate programmes in the UK had been received and over 200, 000 of them had been rejected. The Guardian, experts in the education market also indicated a similar differential for the previous year.
So where does that leave us ?
An estimated 600,000 UK undergraduates seeking university places for 2012 intake and based on those figures:
420,000 students potentially considering university places overseas. 150,000 actively taking them up on an annual basis. The airports are going to be busy come the autumn.
Perhaps the numbers are far in excess of what will be the reality, who knows - but what is true is that these statistics are sufficient for UK students and parents to at least consider every option. Already 150,000 are thinking about it every year.
Will you join  those who study abroad and become one of  the leaders of tomorrow, the entrepreneurs of the future or a decision maker of the decades to come or will you study in the UK only to be chattelled to a life time of debt?. If so, not only will you take control of your own future but you will have the best experience in doing so.  You will be amongst the most attractive candidates to the most attractive careers. The most sort after commodity.
The reality of course is also that those figures will balance naturally and only those students with the intention of seeking to get a head in their future career will opt to study abroad and whilst products of home education will struggle to find their feet post graduation, those that took the decision to study abroad will be tomorrows high flyers.

I think that is going to be you.
