'As a comprehensive survey of the subject, it will be valuable for
students, parents, school advisers and indeed for Universities -
International Officers, academic programme coordinators and
others... It is a very readable book, with nice touches of humour
and thoughtful, helpful insights into issues related to study
abroad.' J.E. Reilly, Director, UK Socrates Erasmus Council
'Tackles a complicated subject with some aplomb.' John
Alexander, International Office, University of Glasgow
"Get Set for Study Abroad" is a guide-book for students who are
thinking of studying outside the UK as part of their home degree
and for others who want to know what is involved.
It takes you through the whole process, from finding out about
the opportunities available and making your selection of a
programme up to completing the studies and returning home. It
explains what things you need to think about at each stage as you
make your preparations and then carry out your studies. There are
sections on academic requirements, costs and funding. The book also
offers advice on study skills and outlines issues which arise in
intercultural communication. It gives particular coverage of
programmes in the European Union (such as Erasmus/Socrates) and the
USA, the two main areas of interest for UK students. Though the
focus is largely on undergraduates, there are sections dealing also
with postgraduate study. Student commentaries, a guide to web-sites
and printed materials, and a glossary of the terms you are most
likely to encounter are also included.
The text cuts through the red-tape and bureaucratic language of
much of the programme literature and presents a student-friendly
viewpoint with candourand good humour.
