I didn't realise Scottish people wrote standard English in a different dialect of English to people in England.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostI think they'd right this one off,"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Interestingly, if you have a French, or EU residence, you pay overseas fees for Jock Uni's and it's about £1800 a year.
4 year degrees there end in Masters too, iirc. I am thinking of sending the girls out to live in our place in Poitou-Charentes the summer they apply for Uni places. Anything but having to buy a place in Scotland...Comment

So you need to educate them in the French system or at a European school in France, with a home address in France French school for the last 3 years of their education."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I believe Scottish pupils do their final exams a year earlier than the English, that accounts for the extra year at Uni.Comment

Not from the ones I have looked at; you need, and I quote, Undergraduate Courses: Students with qualifications from any international high school are expected to have results comparable to students from UK institutions.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostIt's actually the three years before they take in to consideration.

Well, that would be covered. No time limits suggested. I have spoken to Edinburgh uni, and all they have to do, is apply.
It's also free for them to go, I was wrong about the €1800. All they have to do, is have comparable exam results from UK institutes.Last edited by Old Hack; 23 September 2013, 19:51.Comment
