Masters
How easy or difficult is it to get into a masters programme in the UK? I am French but fully bilingual in English and French.
Hi, I've moved your thread to the postgraduate applications forum.
I suspect it is much the same as in most countries - the difficulty will be very variable depending on the university and subject in question. Some are famously competitive, others may be much easier to get into. Bear in mind in general masters degrees in the UK have less competition from UK graduates due to very limited funding available, and many will self-select out of applying do not being able to afford the masters degree in the first place (particularly for very expensive courses such as business/management/finance etc).
If you can afford it and meet the stated academic requirements there's little reason to suppose you couldn't be successful.

It depends if you meet the entry requirements for the course or not. You'd also have you prove your English language capability if you hold only French citizenship.
