What are the types of British master's preparatory courses in 2022?
1, the university's own preparatory course
This kind of preparatory course is mainly aimed at the admission of our university, with high ranking, strong teachers, targeted courses and very high enrollment rate.

Recommended universities:
University of Bristol (Bristol)
Durham
University of Nottingham (Nottingham)
University of Birmingham (Birmingham)
Cardiff University (Cardiff)
Leeds University, etc.
2. General preparatory courses

These educational groups cooperate with many universities, such as Sheffield University, Glasgow University, Liverpool University, Manchester University, East Anglia University, Lancaster University and Leicester University.

Unlike many preparatory courses, which only connect one or several undergraduate courses, graduates from public institutions are all over the prestigious schools. Such as: St Andrews University, Durham University, Warwick University, York University, etc. At the same time, some outstanding graduates have also won university entrance scholarships.
5. Directionally entrust the preparatory organization.
This kind of preparatory course mainly entrusts affiliated colleges to accept preparatory students, and after completing the preparatory course, they are directly promoted to the formal courses of the university, but the recognition of other schools is not high.
For example, the cooperation between York University and York College is now called York University Foundation, but it is only an undergraduate foundation; The University of Edinburgh entrusts Stevenson College to enroll students; Loughborough University entrusts Loughborough College to enroll students.
6, domestic and foreign cooperation in running schools.
There are also many universities in China that cooperate with foreign universities to run schools, and put foreign one-year master's preparatory courses in China, which is fully prepared and smoothly transitioned. For example, the University of Essex in the UK and university of international business and economics jointly set up a master's preparatory course, studying foreign trade for one year in China, and studying at the University of Essex abroad for one or two years can get a master's degree.

The rent in Britain is quite special, and it is settled weekly, which is different from the monthly settlement method in China. Therefore, when calculating money, don't naively multiply the rent for one week by four. The correct calculation method is: (weekly rent) x52 (number of weeks in a year) ÷ 12 (number of months in a year), and the result is accurate monthly rent.
3. Food and beverage expenses
There are large and small local supermarkets and China supermarkets everywhere in Britain. It is very convenient for international students to cook by themselves, and the cost is about 5- 15 pounds/day. Students who are in a hurry choose to buy fast food, and the price of a set meal is about 5-6 pounds. Eating in China restaurants usually costs about 10-30 pounds per person. So for most students, if they cook by themselves every day and occasionally go out to eat, 100 pound/week is enough.
Food and beverage expenses vary greatly according to students' personal living habits, and the price level in Britain is also different. The above figures are for reference only.
