The year abroad is not just for linguists! There is an absolutely HUGE range of UK university courses for scientists, humanists, artists and mathematicians which include a year abroad.
Just imagine - you spend two years studying Marine Biology in Essex, and then finally your exams are over and you jet off for a whole year in a new and inspiring location, studying your chosen subject in English but from a fresh perspective, meeting students from around the world, getting international work experience for your CV and making useful career contacts - it really transforms your degree from ordinary to unique, especially in the eyes of future employers! And it's seriously good fun.If you're nervous about the idea now, remember that in 3 years' time, you will be more confident, more independent and more ambitious, so don't miss the opportunity of a lifetime by picking a course without a year abroad!
