Study Abroad UK

Many US teens have travelled England and successfully transferred their educational credits. If you want your study in the UK to be useful when you return home, it is strongly recommended that you explore options to transfer credits. To obtain credits back home for work done in England, we recommend students contact their guidance counsellor. Ask about a written policy for transferring credits. Get your guidance counsellor to make a special written document that states exactly what you have achieve whilst you are in England. Make sure they write down what you need to do for them to be able to transfer your credits. Your guidance counsellor might ask you to select and study the same or similar subjects when in…

We are happy to accept UK High School Exchange applications and Study Abroad applications through the postal service, you do not need to use a courier. We recommend you check with your mail service the length of time an application will take to get to England. You can always send your application to our office but we think your Study Abroad and High School Exchange application will be safer if you send it to PO Box 95, Sandown PO36 6AU as the application does not leave the the mail system until someone from our office team collects in person. The UK postal service is excellent. There are postal boxes everywhere and you can buy stamps from convenience stores, major supermarkets…

Study Abroad UK has been challenging the UKBA about exchange student immigration for years. In 2008 the UK government introduced a new system and along with this UK government omitted the special immigration concession for young people coming to the UK as exchange students. An exchange student is a young person usually aged between 16-18 arriving in the UK to experience life and education. Exchange students are not necessarily coming to the UK for formal studies but as a cultural visitor exercise. Exchange students were allowed to enter Britain for up to 10 months. And now, if they are visa or non visa nationals they are not. We are pleading with ministers to put this concession back. Micheal Gove said…
