Anyone know which universities in England have quality education yet affordable for Master degree? Which universities do most Nepalese attend in England? Just curious, I'm thinking of moving there. Thanks all.

what subject or major?

Note that in many cases in England - depending upon where you end up - it can be fairly difficult to work and pay at the same time.

visit the sites, and check them out! Matter of fact, you can cope your study while working for Master Programmes!

Good Luck !

YOU CAN'T COPE ! ( Sorry type mistakes)

Thanks for the list ALSON Nepal but actually I was looking for specific schools and not a list, but thank you anyway. I'm thinking of studying public administration, social development and subjects like that. Why did you say we can't cope studying Masters and work at the same time in England? Is it just too hard to do or what is it? Seems like you have some experience, wanna share? Thanks.

alkyatraz,
First of all if you end up in place like London or Glasgow or Edinburgh, the cost of living is very high - regardless of whether you live in school housing or somewhere else. Second, you are allowed to work only 20 hours a week during school season (more often than not in minimum hourly/daily wages). This will in no way cover your living/school expenses if you plan to pay your own way through in majority of good grad schools.

Third if you end up in schools which are located in the neck of wood (so to speak - schools with comparatively cheaper fee - for example University of Sunderland) you will be hard pressed to find a job for yourself.

Thus basically it is a catch 22 situation. You want to go to good school - you won't be able to pay your way through. You want to go to a cheaper school - you won't be able to get a job.

For social sciences the best school in UK probably is LSE (London School of Economics) - quite difficult to get in though. It is also bloody expensive. As are Oxford and Edinburgh.

Durham/Stratchlyde are very nice as well.

If you really want to go to management streams you should try either LBS (London Business School), MBS (Manchester Business School) , Cranfield or Stratchlyde in Glasgow. Note that the programs here are 18 months - 24 months programs - as opposed to normal practice of a 12 months master programs.

All these schools are very expensive - 40,000 pounds for LBS (tuition fee only - living expenses not included) to 28,00 pounds for Stratchlyde. However if you can get into LBS or MBS there is a high probability that you might be able to get a loan from HSBC - payable in 5 years (in case of MBS) or 7 years (in case of LBS). The loan process can start only after you have been accepted and paid the upfront fee to the school. If your loan application is denied, the school will refund your upfront fee. The interest rate is extermly competitive. And this is open to all students. Unlike majority of British schools, the fee is same for home students (for example me) or overseas student (you).

All four schools require very high GMAT score and work experiences. LBS has a rolling intake. I don't know about others.

To search for the university:

And, almost all the universities fees in UK are £6,000 to £30,000 - £40,000 for International student.

Many of the university wouldn't bother about your IELTS as long as you have good english because the amount of money that you are bringing to their institution, this might be some case however if you are thinking of going Oxford, Cambridge or LSE or LBS (as bratboy) they will expect you to have high level of English language.

Good Luck
WOF

Bratboy, do u mean one wil be had presserd to find job because its small place/less opportunities or its degree from not so reputed university like Sunderland? However I have some frens who are studying and doing well in so called small towns like COVENTRY, Leicester just to name a few.

So u mean, there r less chances of jobs if u graduate from smaller towns? I guess its your degree and experience that counts. On the contrary, Im not sidelining the reputation of school such as Cambridge, LSE, LBS or MBS...
