第一篇:海外留学:PTE助你感受真正的英国范儿
海外留学|PTE助你感受真正的英国范儿
神探夏洛克里福尔摩斯和华生这一对有爱CP,至今令人神往的哈利波特就读的魔法学校,《王牌特工》潇洒帅气的绅士特工,英国在我们的印象里早已不只是米字旗、皇家礼遇、大本钟、温布尔登和定制西装了……随着近年来英国留学的大热,当我们谈论“英伦范儿”的时候,并不仅仅指的是英国时尚或生活方式,同样也是包括沉浸于古老与现代完美兼容,学术气息浓厚的英国大学中的广大莘莘学子。
小编采访过一些留学英国的同学,他们给出了选择英国的原因,小编把提及率最高的几个原因列在下面,有打算去留学的同学可以参考一下:
教育质量高,学历为世界认可
在世界排名前100名大学中英国大学占20%,前10名中英国大学就占了4所。英国不但拥有牛津、剑桥以及帝国理工等举世闻名的顶尖名校,而且英国严格的教育审核机制加上激烈的竞争环境,这些方面因素也促使各大学在不同的专业领域内发挥所长。
学制短 去英国留学获得学士学位只需三年,授课式硕士学位课程就只需要一年。而其他国家本科一般4年,硕士2-3年。留学费用总投入相对便宜,一年制研究生的总费用只需20万人民币左右。
最棒的欧洲旅行
沉浸挪威大森林,探索爱瑞士冰川,徜徉浪漫精致的佛罗伦萨,漫步凉风徐徐的塞纳河畔,从英国出发,方便又快捷。数量众多的博物馆和灿若烟霞的艺术珍品,让你充分感受欧洲传统文化强国的艺术氛围。“都可以随便的,你说的我都愿意去,小火车摆动的旋律”还记得这段歌词吗?乘火车旅行不仅便捷,而且优美的自然风光让你感觉置身仙境一般。
那么在决定去英国留学之前,有一个语言能力证明是必须的,选择PTE学术英语考试(PTE Academic)对于去打算去英国留学的学生来说是一个不错的选择。它可以充分向你选中的大学机构证实你的英文能力并获得一个CAS(英国境内的教育机构出具的学习录取确认函)。如果申请者的成绩达到B2以上(PTE成绩51分以上)就可以申请英国大学啦。
PTE学术英语考试的设计取材于真正学术环境,考生能通过考试了解自己真实的语言能力,知道自己是否已经具备了留学所需的技能。与其花费时间进行应试训练,待到实际应用时仍旧一筹莫展,影响学习成绩和生活质量,更明智的选择无疑是真正提升自身英语水平,做好充分的准备,让留学的每一步更加脚踏实地。
下面我们就来看看几所世界级英国名校的PTE学术英语考试的入学要求,希望可以帮助打算留学的同学早做准备~

第三篇:英国留学感受:打工学习两不误
英国留学感受:打工学习两不误
午后的咖啡馆里,姜婕和我们聊起了在英国的生活,尽管已经回国两年,但一聊起在英国留学的日子就格外兴奋,尤其是那段让她“难忘”的打工生活——去英国留学之前,我就了解了一下打工的情况。毕竟出身工薪家庭,生活费用是个不小的负担。下了飞机来到位于邓迪市的学校,我安顿好了以后,就直奔城里的工作中心。
工作中心是将各种工作分类的地方,找工作的人可以在那里的电脑屏上查看详细信息和雇主的联系方式。可能是因为刚到英国,还不适应新的语言环境,我一开始打了几个电话,愣是没听懂电话那边在说什么,最后终于有一家我听明白了:一家餐馆需要清洁员,我留下了自己的联系方式。有了打电话的经历,我就下决心尽快提高听说能力,心想打工的时候一定要与人多交流。
老板是个英国人,我介绍了下自己,他就把我带到工作间。说是清洁员,其实就是打扫厨房,洗盘子。虽然和店里的伙计经常聊天,但大多数时候,是我一个人默默地面对一堆盘子。于是我和老板商量,是否可以为外面的客人服务。征得老板同意后,我开始给客人点菜、上菜。这下我可以和很多人交流了,虽然大部分时候是比较固定的几句话。很多当地客人虽然有口音,但面对我这个亚洲面孔,还是会尽量说得慢一些。
几天下来,老板有些不高兴了,因为他不希望我和客人聊天,他认为这会打扰其他客人。但我还是希望利用这每周近20小时的时间多练习听说能力。我很幸运地在学长的帮助下重新找到一份在艺术礼品商店帮着卖礼品的工作。我所要做的就是熟悉店里出售的商品,为客人介绍和解答问题。虽然同为打工,但这份工作为我提供了更多的交流机会,有时我还能熟练地应付客人的讨价还价。但工作不是一帆风顺的。有一次,我因为弄错了客人一幅画的尺寸而送错了商品,白跑了一天还遭到老板的批评。这之后我变得更加谨慎,对于没听清的一定请求对方重复,这类问题就再没出现过。老板也对我比以前更加认可,常常让我一个人打点店面。
其实,每天回到住的地方感觉全身都快散架了,身体疲劳加上心理上的孤独,这是我在国内的时候从未经历过的。但打工让我的生活有了一定的经济来源,更重要的是,让我适应了当地的语言环境。这是我在这里学习和生活的前提,所以在找工作时最好能找到这类锻炼自己的工作,这样,打工、练口语两不误,而不是为了打工而打工。

第五篇:英国4大最难录取的商学院高冷女王范儿看你敢不敢申请
英国4大最难录取的商学院 高冷女王范儿看你敢不敢申请
大家都知道,英国的高等教育是世界上最传统,也是最经典的大学教育,英国的各大大学都可以称得上是“冰山美人,然而,在这些冰山美人当中,又有4所可以称得上是“冰雪女王”的院校,他们不仅高冷,而且高冷,在各方面都很高冷,那么就让小编来带大家看一看,英国最高冷,最难录取的4大商学院都有哪些?
一、帝国理工商学院
排名情况:金融时报欧洲商学院排名:13。金融时报全球MBA排名:49
高冷理由:
伦敦帝国理工学院下属学院,位于伦敦市中心,世界三大权威商学院认证机构三重认证。2014英国大学专业实力测评中,商管专业位居全英第一;下设10个研究中心,涵盖金融分析、商务分析、风险管理、能源、数字城市等领域。
录取要求: 211、985,85%+的成绩,雅思7-7.5分,实习经历要求各种高大上。当然,这只是你的敲门砖,等你写出PS和CV,打开申请表格准备递交申请,看到里边的职业规划和数学能力问题,瞬间觉得全身每个细胞都不好了;好不容易突破重围,别着急,后边还有视频面试呢,要穿正装、化淡妆、自信还得能说。你只是去面试不是去相亲,这气势可不得把人都吓跑呢!
二、华威商学院
排名情况:金融时报欧洲商学院排名:19,金融时报全球MBA排名:25,经济学人全球MBA排名:37,福布斯全球商学院排名:7
高冷理由:
华威大学商学院简称WBS,是英国的十大顶尖商学院之一,世界三大权威商学院认证机构三重认证。华威商学院与英国业界巨头紧密合作,比如百事、维珍航空等,人称”华威公司”,可见其商业人才培养能力。
录取要求:
经济、金融、金数等热门专业请参考帝国理工商学院和伦敦政治经济学院要求,市场营销雅思要求曾经是8分,降低后的要求请参考牛剑(顶级大学的标准)!拒信理由永远都是“竞争激烈,申请人数多,所以拒绝也是没有办法的”连拒绝都如此高冷。连拒信都是如此高冷的回应,难怪能够入读华威商学院的都是精英中的精英了。
三、曼彻斯特商学院
排名情况:金融时报欧洲商学院排名:37,金融时报全球MBA排名:43,福布斯全球商学院排名:13
高冷理由:
简称“MBS”,英国十大顶尖商学院之一,世界三大权威商学院认证机构三重认证。中国学生最喜欢的商学院之一,热门专业竞争激烈程度不亚于LSE,和WBS也算是一个重量级的。
申请要求:
MBS的申请要求基本可参考帝国理工,申请时必须递交雅思成绩,要求7.0分,其中写作和口语不低于6.5。因为申请太多,拒绝信发的也多,人多,拒绝就是这么任性;另外,别忘了他家还收取60镑的申请费,即使是秒拒,申请费也是不退还的。看看,这就是范儿。
四、巴斯大学管理学院
排名情况: 金融时报欧洲商学院排名:47,金融时报全球MBA排名:84,经济学人全球MBA排名:43
高冷理由:
这所英国商学院建于1966年,是巴斯大学下属国际商学院,受到EQUIS和AMBA两个权威认证机构认证。这所商学院的会计金融专业全英国排名第一,学院学生满意度全英第一,果真是商科牛校。
录取要求:
会计金融类专业硕士,即使是在英国就读本科,一等学位也有可能被秒拒,高冷,太高冷了。国内学生,如果你能达到华威商学院、曼大商学院的基本申请要求,那么巴斯大学管理学院可以一同申请(他们是不是都商量好了录取要求)。
看了这4所商学院的申请要求,你是不是已经感觉牙齿被冻碎了呢?其实这些商学院申请要求高也无可厚非,因此,想不被这些学校高冷的对待,提升自己的硬实力,拿出好的成绩,才是这些学校的敲门砖!
