Things to think about

Does the course you're considering offer a year abroad programme? Will you be restricted to studying at one of a small group of selected universities, or can you apply anywhere, get a job or volunteer abroad? If you want to study a language, is your course more focused on the country's language or literature? Is it a respected course? Check out The Guardian's UK University League Table 2014 to find out. Will you have to take exams abroad, or will your grades be based on a year abroad project? A standard Modern Languages degree in the UK is four years, and if you study in Scotland you'll finish with an MA not a BA. If you do a joint degree (e.g. French and Economics), you'll gain language skills PLUS a workplace skill - but it's hard work... Visit our Forum to discuss these points further.
