University choices interest every family. PASSPORT has been
reporting on the popularity of the various education fairs (see
Out & About November 2010 and March 2011). Higher education
abroad, or at foreign universities in Moscow which are of
ever greater interest to ex-pats and locals alike.
PASSPORT seeks to help improve the flow of knowledge
between families and institutions. Our partners are the
British Council who already co-ordinate a lot of exhibitions,
visits, training sessions and advice, and a selection of the
best universities. Each month, we hope to publish a list
of coming expos and visits, and to invite experts to share,
in summary form, their wisdom for readers’ benefit. Universities
are warmly invited to contact us to publicise their
events and places.
By April, most choices for September 2011 will have been
made. If you still have big decisions to make, get help immediately.
Start with The British Council or other contacts on this
page. Applications for September 2012 need to be organised
in the early autumn—mid-September for some key options,
late November for nearly all selections, whether in the UK,
USA, EU or elsewhere. Spend the spring identifying what you
want; visit your short-listed preferences in the summer; and
use the best help to get the applications completed before
the autumn leaves fall.
In the UK, degree courses are typically three years to a
B.A., or four in Scotland. Students with A-levels or I.B. will
April 2011
normally go straight into the undergraduate programme,
aged 18+. Students aged 17+ or with the Attestat may need
to prove their English level using IELTS, and/or be admitted
to a Foundation Year. UK degrees are available for students
who stay in Moscow, or who wish to combine study in Russia
and the UK.
We hope this will be another valuable contribution to
making the best of living in Moscow: your passport to higher
education. Please contact us: j.harrison@passportmagazine.
