I am considering to apply for university in England, but have to get everything translated first.

is it a really good idea to study in england if you have to have everything translated? all lectures will be in english & all supporting material will be too.


& i'm looking at applying for either my ma or my pgce, except i don't know where i want to go >.<

Middlesex
Forensic Computing

UWE
Forensic Computing

Either one with a foundation year if they hate me :]

Did you only apply to two Tiff?

What subject Erin?

Open University
Psychology.

*wanted to join in* :3

There are only 5? or so unis that do that course and I know that one wont take me, and a few others are too far up north.

Fine Art or Community Art.

Or PGCE in Secondary teaching.

if i don't continue with my education i'm going to get creative & set up a community art thing in Stoke, like doing Batique/Kite Making/Masking Making/Paper Mache Sculpture type community initiative in the area hopefully with a friend on the course.

Glasgow/Edinburgh Uni - Phd Clinical Psychology or Glasgow Caledonian Uni - Msc Psychology and Mental Health. If my OT says that i'm well enough.

I meant all the graduation certificates and stuff (its not called A-levels or GCSE in Germany). It has to be compared to the english school system I guess.
There are some differences and I can't send them my german graduation.
Sorry that this wasn't clear.

ah i get it now,
i thought you meant you couldn't read/write/speak english, ignore that fact you have written on an english website for a moment, my brain does not process these things apparently =/

how long should your personal statement be?

Oh and here is my list of schools

[removed]

Not sure in America, it's been four years since I wrote mine & i need to do it all over again... bollocks.

Here there is a limit (characters, rather than words I think) for personal statements, but have no idea about the States. I think most institutions set their own standards. Best to call/email them and ask.

In the UK it was 4000 characters, or 27 lines (I think) and it was whichever was the shortest was the limit.

The common app has only a minimum limit. :(

i have 3602 characters (682 words) so i think i'm in the clear

going to Nottingham in a few weeks going to look at the MA Creative Collaborations :D
£4,440 ><
luckily mr boyfriend-who-earns-too-much-money might be helping me with funding :)

ooh, I'm debating applying for a masters in integration theory, if I can't get a job!
