ooooh, well they should, i'm sure they can afford to ship abroad O.o i'd assume that they should if not... go on a rampage until you find one
Not for free, it seems. UCL ships prospectuses free across the globe, but then again they're a "global university". xD I have 2+ copies of the UCL prospectus... Will probably pick up another (2012 version) when I go as well.
My floor is currently covered with prospectuses... They're very very neglected
The problem with prospecti is every time you pick one up to look through, you start getting bizarre irrational thoughts in your head that, hey, I think I'd like to study chemistry, or maybe geography, or maths, or even English Lit...
Oh okay good! Just checked the website 10 pounds to ship. :/ I'll just wait then, there's no use to order in advance.

£10?! that is a lot to get a prospectus... seems that sticking with the website is a good idea ah i very much like the idea of UCL!

I KNOW!!! I was bored last week so I flipped through the UCL prospectus... I was like... HMM, what if I did Linguistics?! Or Law?! Never mind that I already almost finished the PS- OOH, PHYSICS LOOKS INTERESTING!

I know exactly what you mean, but not in terms of subject, i'm pretty sure on medicine! But i'd love to European Medicine or at least have the opportunity to study languages still, and as i pick up more prospectuses i realise more and more universities have these opportunities, even Imperial which is meant to be just super science based! Ergh, i hate having to make decisions

Physics ALWAYS looks interesting. Like at open days, they're just showing off their cool experiments and you're like wow, until you realize that this contraption will have been built by a 20-man team of graduate students, each one contributing little more than a screw!

Indeed... and all the maths! I couldn't handle all the maths, as lovely as the quantum physics aspect seems. *sigh* I could go on about theoretical physics for a while but mention projectile motion or vectors and I will run away screaming. >.> I blame the bad physics teacher I had last year.

The only contraption fitting that description would be a pile of 20 screws

I think in Scotland, at least, you do one year of medicine working in a clinical setting abroad.

Oh ha ha! My point being: at Glasgow open day I spent ages talking to this guy about his work at the LHC; doesn't seem so impressive when you realized there's 9999 other guys there chipping in too! I imagine they long for the days when the likes of Michael Faraday could make paradigm altering discoveries in his garden shed.

Everyone 'likes' quantum physics, cosmology, relativity etc. They're the staple of popular science. Yet none of us really understand them in the same sense we understand, say, the Neo-darwinian synthesis, or plate-tectonics. So I can evaluate Evolution by Natural Selection's veracity on my own but when it comes to the vagaries of Quantum Physics, I can only spit out what some figure in authority - Feynman, Deutsch, Green, whoever - has told me. No one can understand it without learning the maths, and without learning the maths, we can't make an informed evaluation of it - without learning the maths, neither I nor you can really say we 'like' theoretical physics because hell it may seem cool but we still have no idea what it really is!!! =L
