How is the Across the Pond expert guidance & help service free?
Across the Pond can offer this unique free service, as our funding is provided from the UK universities that have appointed us to represent them in the US. This means we can offer students a choice in terms of programs, institutions and geographical locations in the UK.
Does Across the Pond guarantee entry to their partner universities?
No. We believe that by using our service you will increase your chances of acceptance, because we make sure that you are applying to universities that match your subject preferences and academic ability. All final decisions are made by the Admissions team at each university and decisions are based on your own academic qualifications, standardized test results, personal statement and reference, and for some a portfolio of work or audition tape.
Can I bring Canadian student loans with me to the UK?
Yes. All of our British partner Universities accept US student loans.
Do I need a visa to study in the UK?
Yes, you need a student visa to study in the UK (be it England, Scotland or Wales). Our advisors will help guide you through the tier 4 student visa process and liaise with our university partners to help facilitate the process for you.
Are all entry requirements the same?
No. All of our partner universities vary and so it is best to check with us the exact requirements needed. Department entry grades vary within the universities and can be higher than the minimum requirements of a university. Do contact our advisors for more details.
Am I allowed to work while my study in Britain?
You can work for up to 20 hours a week while you study in the UK. A normal student salary is between $8 - $10 per hour. For more information, please visit the UK Border Agency (UKBA).
