Download or read book Study in the UK written by Rajiv Immanuel and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-09-19 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming to live in a new country can be a great adventure filled with positive experiences, but it also carries some risks. Organisations like the British Council and various British universities are engaged in showcasing the positive aspects of UK student life and attracting the foreign student to study in the UK. No Briton or government department or British university is likely to tell you the truth about life in the UK. This is because they don't want to scare you away, or because they can't be objective being British themselves. This book is slightly different. Although it does showcase the positive aspects of studying in the UK it also helps you deal with the risks and dangers of UK life. Helping make your UK life a success is the goal of the author's books. His 12 books aim to explain what life in the UK is like with honesty and fairness. It is difficult to do that if you were born in the very society you are describing. People are human and bias is inherent in our worldview. The author is helped in his writings that he is not a Briton by birth. He can be that much more honest and fair in his description of life in the UK. This book, which focuses on studying in the UK, incorporates that approach. British Universities are world class. Four British universities are in the worldwide top ten best universities. Eight British universities are in the global top 50 in the 2014 QS World University Rankings. UK degrees are highly valued by employers worldwide. The majority (86%) of UK students are happy with the quality of their university course, according to the UK National Student Survey (NSS) 2014. A degree from a British university can change your life and your job prospects. This book has answers to questions that a foreign student planning to study in the UK would typically ask. It also answers questions on the UK student visa system. Choosing a good university to study is not merely a look at its worldwide academic ranking. You need to consider crime figures too when choosing a university. Which universities are located in crime hotspots? What cities/towns in the UK are known for high crime levels? What are the crime figures for London? These and many more questions are tackled in this guide.

Download or read book A Case of Neglect 1996 written by Ian Butler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1996, this book advocates and persuasively exemplifies a qualitative sociology of childhood, spoken repeatedly through children’s voices. After a long period of dormancy, interest in the sociology of childhood became a focus of attention and scholarly interest. Developments in practice by professionals working and learning in the fields of welfare, education, and youth and community studies have been paralleled by the emergence of specialist courses within sociology degrees. Yet the challenges raised by the sociology of childhood remain marginalised within the social sciences more generally. A Case of Neglect? provides an accessible reader and review of the field. Heard wherever possible through children’s and young people’s voices, it provides a penetrating insight into their understandings and experiences of their own and adults’ worlds. It also provides a readable and absorbing review of qualitative applications in the sociology of childhood, and a counter to the common reliance on evidence derived from quantitative approaches. The fieldwork applications range across the often hidden worlds of children’s and young people’s involvement in prostitution, their experience of abuse, black children’s experiences of social services, children’s school cultures, naturist children and childlessness. Always arresting and sometimes poignant, A Case of Neglect? works towards a sociology which is both of and for childhood. This book was originally published as part of the Cardiff Papers in Qualitative Research series edited by Paul Atkinson, Sara Delamont and Amanda Coffey. The series publishes original sociological research that reflects the tradition of qualitative and ethnographic inquiry developed at Cardiff. The series includes monographs reporting on empirical research, edited collections focussing on particular themes, and texts discussing methodological developments and issues.
Download or read book The Satsuma Students in Britain written by Andrew Cobbing and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1865, when Japan was in the grip of a major civil war, eighteen samurai and an interpreter risked their lives to embark secretly on a voyage to the unknown lands of the barbarian west. Their destination was Britain - at the hub of a vast empire. These were the Satsuma students, some of them still in their teens, all carrying orders from their domains to travel abroad. It was an extraordinary and daring expedition. Their experience of life in the west not only transformed their perception of the outside world, but through their diverse activities in later life, had a profound impact on commerce, education and culture in Meiji Japan. First published in 1974, Inuzuka Takaaki's study is still the classic work on the Satsuma students' revealing tale of discovery. In this translation by Andrew Cobbing, further details that have since emerged are also included to give a fresh portrayal, the first in English, of this singular episode in the opening of Japan.
