Hello tout le monde, je suis nouveau sur le forum et j'aurais besoin de votre aide. Je m'explique je rentre en terminale cette année et je prévois de continuer mes études en Angleterre et plus précisément à Londres. Seulement voilà, mon soucis est que tout cela à un coût et je souhaiterais savoir s'il existe des bourses étudiantes. J'ai regardé sur beaucoup de sites, mais beaucoup ont des contraintes de revenus annuels dans lesquels mes parents ne rentrent pas.
Voilà ce serait bien si quelqu'un pouvait m'apporter des idées et/ou m'éclairer sur mon projet.
Je vous remercie tous d'avance!
En tant qu'étudiant européen tu as droit au prêt à taux zéro consenti par le gouvernement britannique, cad que les sommes prêtées devront être remboursées à la fin de tes études (c'est à dire qu'à la fin de tes études, tu ne pourras pas contracter un crédit pour t'acheter une voiture, un appartement, etc).
Si tu es un peu plus souple et que tu peux aller étudier au pays de Galles, Ecosse, ou Irlande, tu as droit au tarif spécial pour les étudiants de la nation concernée, soit 1/3 du prix anglais environ. Il existe aussi des allocations de vie, et il existe des bourses au mérite si tu es très bon (généralement au moins 14 de moyenne, et 16+ au bac de 1e est une bonne idée ainsi que dans la matière que tu veux étudier, surtout si c'est un diplôme matière + French). Le nombre de bourses varie selon les universités.
Qu'il serait bien d'avoir 16 de moyenne aux épreuves anticipées? Parce que la étant en série S du baccalauréat, j'avais Français et Histoire et j'ai une moyenne de 6,42. Je ne pense pas que ça va me porter préjudice vu que je suis bon dans le reste des matières (à voir pour la philosophie). Je pense avoir 14-15 de moyenne.
Ensuite, seconde question: tu parles de bourses accordés aux "meilleurs" et j'ai déjà lu des choses à ce propos. Ma question est: est-ce que c'est à partir d'une certaine moyenne comme tu le dis ou plutôt pour les 5 ou 10 premiers?? Cela dit, je pense que cela dépend de l'université choisie.
Encore une fois, merci pour les réponses.
Pour avoir une bourse au mérite il faut souvent avoir 16 de moyenne dans les 3 matières principales y compris celle qu'on compte étudier dans le supérieur, et une excellente moyenne aux épreuves de fin de 1e (qui sont prises en compte comme indication de ta motivation, tes compétences personnelles, etc). Donc avec 6 et des poussières tu pars déjà avec un handicap certain... Cependant si tu as d'excellentes moyennes en maths ou sciences tu peux essayer de faire des études dans ces branches. Chaque université décide des 3 matières à avoir (+ anglais bien sûr) et des notes nécessaires. Ex: AAB = tu dois avoir 2 16 et un 14 de moyenne, BBC = tu dois avoir 2 14 de moyenne et un 11 environ...
Attention un bac S spé maths n'est pas suffisant pour faire un BA de maths en GB, si tu étais pris tu devrais rattraper les notions manquantes pendant l'été (le programme de maths avancées va un peu plus loin que la spé - les élèves en ont 10h/semaine pendant 2 ans donc c'est logique, et l'option la plus prestigieuse pour faire des maths est "Further Maths" pris en plus de maths avancées et qui correspond au programme de Maths Sup).
Par contre, pourrais-tu m'expliquer comment fonctionnent les allocations de vie dont tu parlais dans ton premier message?
Merci d'avance, encore une fois 🙂
Si tu veux entrer directement dans le programme "Master en 4 ans", il te faut 15 de moyenne générale et 15+ en maths, physique chimie, et SVT ou STI., plus score de 6 à chaque partie de l'iELTS.
Si tu veux entrer dans le programme de Bachelor en 3 ans (qui peut être suivi d'un Master en 2 ans), il faut 14 de moyenne générale, 14+ en maths, physique, chimie, et SVT ou STI, plus score 6 à l'IELTS.
C'est le niveau minimum pour être considéré pour l'admission pas le niveau des admis.
Tu dois trouver 4 programmes similaires dont au moins 2 plus faciles (comme Swansea, Kent, Plymouth, UWE Bristol...) et un de même niveau (Reading, Brunel, Loghborough), et soit un de plus au même niveau, soit un plus prestigieux (Cardiff, Queen's Belfast, UCL....)
Le classement se trouve ici: http://www.theguardian.com/education/series/university-guide-2014-subject-tables
L'allocation pour vivre s'appelle Maintenance Grant.
Et les bourses au mérite sont là: http://www.sems.qmul.ac.uk/ugadmissions/scholarships/
Ok merci beaucoup tu m'as vraiment éclairé sur ce que je voulais savoir et je t'en remercie grandement. Peut-tu juste m'expliquer ce que tu entends quand tu dis:
Tu dois trouver 4 programmes similaires dont au moins 2 plus faciles (comme Swansea, Kent, Plymouth, UWE Bristol...) et un de même niveau (Reading, Brunel, Loghborough), et soit un de plus au même niveau, soit un plus prestigieux (Cardiff, Queen's Belfast, UCL....)
Je ne comprends pas trop ce que tu veux dire.
En tout cas, je te remercie encore une fois. C'est vraiment super de voir à quel point certaines personnes peuvent en aider d'autres ;)!!!
Tu vas faire une demande sur UCAS avant le 15 janvier (UCAS = APB anglais). Tu as droit à 5 demandes. ça peut être 5 programmes dans la même universités, 5 programmes identiques dans plusieurs universités, 5 programmes différents dans plusieurs universités. L'admission est compétitive, cad qu'il y a un nombre de places strict, quel que soit le nombre de candidats. Donc on doit toujours choisir 2 programmes, sur les 5 possibles, pour lesquels on a des moyennes bien au-dessus du minimum pour être sûr d'être pris. Et mieux vaut faire des demandes à plusieurs universités (par exemple, rien ne t'empêche de faire tes (tes 5 demandes aux 5 programmes de Queen Mary's, mais tu te sabotes toi-même puisqu'ils ont un niveau de sélectivité proche et il y a peu de probabilité que tu sois admis au 5e si les 4 autres t'ont refusé. Logique. Sans compter que.... les profs se parlent.)
Tu devras pouvoir montrer que tu as le score voulu à l'IELTS et avoir écrit un "statement" où tu expliques en quoi ton expérience scolaire, tes notes, ton expérience professionnelle (jobs, stages, rencontres avec des professionnels) t'a particulièrement bien préparé aux études que tu envisages, et en quoi tu te distingues de la majorité des candidats (à part que tu es français, ce que tu peux noter.) Le statement doit avoir été relu par au moins un adulte avant d'être mis en ligne (je recommande ton prof d'anglais :p).
Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde.
I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better.
I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help!
Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone
After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has already had the experience of working abroad?
I don’t have a specific country in mind yet, so I’m open to hearing about your experiences on this topic—the pros and cons, etc.
Hi there!
I’m a young Malian looking to work in Morocco. Besides a passport, what other documents are required at the **Moroccan** border?
Thanks for your help!
Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D
I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...).
Thanks again!
Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies.
PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.
In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there?
Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!
Thanks for your feedback!!
Hi there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.
Best regards,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too.
Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese?
I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga.
To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that...
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻
I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background:
• I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*.
• I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor.
• Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience:
• I work as an *Employment Counselor*.
• I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0.
• I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles?
We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!!
Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin.
I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well:
I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers?
First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand?
Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]
Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
