SCHOLARSHIPS
Across the Pond works with our world-class, academically prestigious university partners to promote unique university scholarships,
as well as our own exclusive opportunities, not available unless you apply through us. Please contact an Across the Pond advisor
to find out if you qualify.
ACCOMMODATION
You have the choice between living in student-organized accommodation or in private housing. With benefits to each, your per-
sonal Across the Pond advisor will work with you to determine which option is best for you socially and financially.
The majority of our partner universities guarantee university-run accommodation for international students during their first year of
study, which makes sorting your finances and lodging much easier from home, since you will not have to worry about any extra
utility payments, taxes or fees; these are all included in one lump sum paid directly to the university.
The cost of living in UK student halls varies and depends on location, the length of your contract, and how new and modern the
accommodation is. These varying factors make it difficult to provide an exact overall estimate, but most universities breakdown the
cost week-by-week, with prices ranging anywhere from $130-$500 per week. Whatever housing option you choose, you can
be confident in the knowledge that you will not be paying for any extras since electricity, water, taxes, and internet costs are all
included.
If you prefer, you can choose to find private accommodation, but this can be a bit more complicated to arrange long distance,
and you will be responsible for not only your rent, but also possibly city taxes and extra bills, like internet fees, depending on
where you live and with whom you live. Additionally, many landlords want to meet students in person before leasing their space.
Landlords may also require large, upfront deposits, and often you will need a British guarantor and/or a British bank account.
This does not mean that living in private accommodation is impossible; it is just a little bit more complicated and time-consuming to
arrange. Some of our advisors have lived off-campus during their studies in the UK and are always happy to chat with you if you
are considering this option, but ultimately you are responsible for your own living arrangements.
TYPES OF STUDY
UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES IN THE UK
British universities offer a very wide range of subjects and you have the option to
combine several subjects within your degree, or concentrate on one major through-
out your studies. Students who pursue undergraduate programs with colleges and
“ Anytime you move away from home
it can be scary, but I can assure any pro-

universities in the UK focus on their major coursework from the start of their degrees.
Allison, University of Southampton
Our Across the Pond Advisors will help assess your academic background, test
scores and personal interests before recommending the universities and programs
that will best serve your academic and professional goals. You will receive free
guidance and advice from your own personal advisor to help you choose the British
university and undergraduate degree that is right for you. Entry requirements vary
from one British partner university to another and from one academic department
to another, so entry requirements are one area where past ATP students have really
benefitted from our expert advice.
Contact one of our UK Study Experts for more information to find the right course for
you.
GRADUATE DEGREES IN THE UK

The Across the Pond UK partner universities have an outstanding range of top grad-
uate degree programs, most of which are offered in globally-leading departments.
Whether you have already completed a study abroad program and wish to pursue
British graduate degree or wish to study in the UK for the first time, we offer you op-
tions specific to your individual objectives and background.
A British master’s degree can bring several benefits compared to a corresponding

US degree. A recent IPSOS MORI survey has actually revealed that most employers
in the US consider degrees earned in the UK to be the same as or better than those
earned in the US.
Our Across the Pond Advisors will help assess your academic background, GPA,
professional experience, and personal interests before recommending the universities
and the programs that will best serve your professional goals. You will receive free
guidance and advice from your own personal advisor to help you choose the British
university and graduate degree that is right for you.

degree for you.
