difference between COLLEGES and UNIVERSITIES

[fred]

Just noticed the British school in Manila link Ricky..
I checked their prices before and for both kids for one year it came to almost 20,000 Pounds a year..Now that amount could seriously hit my beer fund.
I`ll check the others though...Thanks.
BTW.. How long is the course and what age do they start?

fred, keep a watchful eye on UK university fees.
These are set to increase significantly over the coming years. The govt still undecided
if a 'cap' will be put into place or if uni's will be allowed to charge whatever they will.

if your thinking of sending your kids in the phils to Uni in the UK fred, you might have to pay international fees for them

Do you mean they will have to be UK resident for a certain period before they are eligable for loans/grants etc?

yes basically there are exceptions but your looking at 3yrs i think, something you need to verify Fred b4 you do anything. i might be wrong but i don't think so.

if it is 3 yrs and you still want them at a Uk uni, might be a good idea to get them back here for A levels (6 form you might not have to pay not sure, but at a college you might - same rules ?)
and get them to take a yr out in the uk, and then apply for uni at home fees ..

i'm not 100% sure, but you need to look into b4 you do anything..
