Hey everyone,

I'm new here!
I'm wondering if there's a thread for intl students applying for UK schools? I'm Chinese with Canadian PR stats, so erm, I guess I'd be looking for a Canadian thread if possible?
=D

Thanks!

Hey I'm looking for the same thread. I'm also Canadian! What are you applying for?

I don't know if I've ever seen a Canadian thread, but why not start one?
I'm willing to help.
I'm Canadian, first year in the UK, so I applied last year.
What would you like to know?

I heard that the British A-level thing is very hard and somewhat harder than the Canadian highschool curriculum. Do you think it is wise to go to a UK college straight out from a Canadian high school? Will I have a hard time or disadvantage compare to other locak students because they have learned more?

It depends what you're looking for. The A-Level system is just different. The Canadian/American university system with its more liberal arts focus is to me much easier because a) it's a more handheld system and b) there is grade inflation which means its difficult to compare them. But if you're looking for a challenging university degree i definitely think you'd find it in the UK.

Hi everyone. I'm a Canadian applying to the UK for undergrad (law) as well. Does anybody know of any scholarships that Canadians can apply to, and use for a UK education?

Thanks in advance!

Usually just independent ones from the universities you apply to. Nothing national I know of. Although if you're from Ontario it is possible to qualify for OSAP. Not as nice as a scholarship though.

The only scholarships I've seem to have found for Universities in the UK are all Grad school only

i believe it depends what university youre applying for really if memory serves a few offer scholarships to gifted foreigners but im not sure if they were country specific or not..

Canadian here too, will be moving to UK in the fall. (Hopefully Visa will come in ! )
Canadian PR status is different from Canadian nationality, so you will probably have to apply as a Chinese national.
Canadian high school curriculum is usually considered on par with A-levels, while US usually required APs, at least for Medicine.
