International Students

As an international student, you will quickly
find out that studying in the UK differs from
studying at home. Factors such as the type of
your course, level of study and university
location may require you to do things differently
than what you are used to.

In the UK, it is common for students to manage
their own research and time, instead of being
prescribed set work. Coursework is completed in
students own time and there are numerous exams
which tests their knowledge and understanding.
Lectures are a large group of students in your
year or studying the same module or course. A
lecturer often stands in the front of the lecture
hall and presents information about a specific
part of the course. It is expected that students
complete, recommended reading before/after the
lecture to make the most of them.

Seminars are classroom-sized groups of students
(20-50). Seminars are designed to allow the
students to discuss module topics from reading
and lectures in greater detail. Often seminars
can hold debates or student presentations.
Exams usually starts in January and May by all
students, however there can be smaller tests
given during seminars. Exams can be very
stressful, make sure you attend all your lectures
and seminars, as you will learn the layout and
topics of the exams there, eliminating some of
the stress.

Course work also known as written assignments,
which can take many forms (such as essays,
reports, presentations, etc). A deadline is given
to the student for the coursework, alongside the
assignment brief, stating the main question and
points to cover.
Plagiarism means taking someone else ideas or
work and presenting it as your own, without
crediting the source. It is important all
students reference their work properly. If you
are found plagiarising, you can fail the exam or
assignment, or even be asked to leave your
course. You can read more about plagiarism
