Placement and year abroad funding

I was wondering how students find funding to study abroad, since the UK gov doesn't offer student loan unless they are studying at a UK uni. Courses in European unis can range from circa 3000 EUR to 30,000 EUR a year, so I was wondering what ways students can use to fund the costs. Do a lot of students just have very rich parents?

I have currently started my first year at college in the UK studying psychology, sociology, law and politics. I have known for the majority of even my high school years that I want to study in a Swedish university and begin a life there. Of course, I have two years+ to go but to be able to live in Sweden this time in two years will honestly be a dream come true. My parents 100% support me already as they know my love for the country.

However, I'm not sure where to start and need a sense of direction. I have been researching universities, but as I'd be setting up a whole new life, I understand I will need to have funding for living costs eg taxes, rent, etc and insurance there too. There's a lot more to it than choosing a university here in the UK. I have set up a savings account at the start of this month and put all my wages into it which I plan to do with the majority of my pay (I get enough tips as a waitress to have that to spend on myself). As the time grows nearer, my parents are more than happy to help but I want to be as independent as possible financially with this process.

I'd like to mention that I speak Swedish already. I'm a completely self taught 16 year old (17 in two days). I have Swedish friends who have of course helped me a whole lot along the way. I do make mistakes as you'd imagine, but holding a conversation is not difficult anymore. I have not been to Sweden as of yet, but am awaiting for May to roll around for me and my parents to check it out. I understand it may be early to be considering universities as I have only just began college, but with it being abroad, I feel as though I need to be as prepared as possible. I'm terrified of leaving it too late and the chance of me studying in Sweden being impossible.

What are the most important things to consider when starting a process like this? I'm completely lost with where to start.

I am looking to do a year abroad or two years at the University of British Columbia. How do students fund there studies?

I have recently been accepted onto an exchange year with a partner institution in China. I've already changed my Student Finance England to study abroad status.

Does anyone have any knowledge about tuition fees, my university stated they can send what I apply for through SFE to the partner to pay for those fees. I have to foot 50% of my first semester myself for my visa to be processed, I'm just not clear if SFE will fund my tuition abroad for a year.

Thank you

My names Kate. I'm starting an undergraduate course in university in September. I'm a mature student as well as a single mother.
I'm very interested in studying abroad for a semester in either Canada or the USA.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has done this with children? I have researched a lot into it and know that it is possible, but if anyone could share their experiences that would be amazing.
Thank you.

Hello!

I'm just about to start my second year at college doing a level 3 Btec in Marine biology & Ecology and looking towards university afterwards in the Zoology/ Animal behaviour departments.

Currently my main choices are penryn campus of university of Exeter, due to being able to stay at home and knowing the area, and Bangor univeristy. Since i have family nearby which can also cut down living costs. More recently with my joining time being where Grants will likely be scrapped (2016) I am now considering studying abroad.

I believe by moving away from the place I have always lived, it will force me to be more sociable and more engaging with others. However cost is a major factor, i have heard that some countries (Germany?) tend to Cover a lot of the cost for international students, which would be good to finally confirm.

Additionally besides English I know basic french but enough to ask for directions and help with. so countries with less emphasis on local language would be far better so i could interact easier. besides europe Canada and New Zealand have been places i have also really waned to visit. I'm probally not going to go Asian countries because i have been told that local language is a lot bigger aspect there.

Thanks for reading and any advice is greatly appreciated!

Is there any extra financial support for students who are studying abroad in a particularly expensive country? The degree I want to do has a compulsory year abroad in Norway, cost of living is much higher there than in the UK or pretty much anywhere else in Europe.
