For no one is it a secret that both citizens of the United Kingdom and Latinos have many differences not only in terms of culture but also academically.
‘How to adapt to this new way of life?’ is one of the most frequent concerns among our students. That’s why here, we debunk and confirm some of the most common thoughts when it comes to living and studying in the United Kingdom.
Working and studying at the same time
TRUTH
One of the main reasons why students choose the UK as their destination is because they have the possibility to work a maximum of 20 hours per week while studying. Moreover, during vacations, they can work full-time without any issues.
On the other hand, the British government allows graduates to stay up to two more years in the UK only if they already have a secured job position or if they decide to study a STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
Studying in the UK is more expensive than studying in the United States
MYTH
It’s not only proven that you will save costs, but you’ll also be able to become a professional in less time. In these universities, undergraduate programs have a duration of 3 years and 1 year for master’s degrees, without affecting students’ job opportunities.
The costs of tuition, accommodation, among others, are factors that will benefit you economically when deciding to study in the UK.
The majority of graduates find a job within the first 6 months after finishing their studies
TRUTH
Studying at the best universities in the world immediately opens up job opportunities for our students right after obtaining their professional degree.
Critical, investigative, artistic, and problem-solving skills enable them to acquire more than what is necessary to work in nationally and internationally recognized companies.
Remember that at MAS Education, you can access universities that are part of the Russell Group, which refers to the highest-rated group of universities in the UK.
People in the UK only socialize with English students
MYTH
The United Kingdom is a nation distinguished as one of the most sought-after destinations for students worldwide because its cities and countries are known for being multicultural and diverse places. That’s why our students have the opportunity to interact with people from other countries, learn new languages, and much more.
Cities like Belfast have stood out globally for being a destination where people from other countries are warmly welcomed. So, you won’t have to worry about that.
Make the decision to live one of the adventures that will not only change the way you see the world but will also provide you with MORE opportunities in the professional and job field.
