High School (UK) Pyschology Class?
II'm in year 9, and im coming up to taking options, and i've heard from a teacher that there is an option for a pyschology class, and i'm quite interested in taking it, could anyone tell me what the course would involve? bear in mind, the first year would be aimed at 14/15 year old teens, and the second year will be aimed at 15/16 year olds.

Probably the basics of psychology, like brain function. And some terminology.

If i go to law school in the UK can i practice in the US
If i go to law school in the UK can i practice in the US?
I want to go to law school in the UK, but I live in the US. If I go to law school in the UK would I be able to practice in the US? what are the different requirements? I know I would have to take the bar for whatever state I want to practice in, but are there any special requirements or is it state by state? If it is state by state does anyone know the requirements for Texas, New York and California?

I gather each US state has its own bar exam. www.lmgtfy.com !!

If you wish to become an attorney then you really need to develop your research skills and this simple matter should not pose a problem for a law candidate. If you obtain an LL.B. from the U.K. you would not be eligible to sit the bar exam in most States ((NY and California are two of the exceptions) because one of the requirements to sit for the bar is that you must have at least 12 months of education or hold a J.D. from an ABA accredited law school-- which if you study in the U.K. you will not have. If you decide to take and pass the bar in NY and California then you will still find it difficult to be employed since you will just be an LL.B. attorney living in a J.D. world and thus are considered under-educated and under-experienced compared to those who graduated from a U.S. law school. The idea is to obtain a law degree within the country that you wish to practice in. The better alternative for you would be to obtain your J.D. from a ABA accredited law school and then go abroad, should you choose to, and obtain an LL.M. (Master's of Law). This will save you a lot of money and a lot of heartache in the long-run.

What are good schools in the UK (preferably London) one could go to for Medical school and 4 year college
What are good schools in the UK (preferably London) one could go to for Medical school and 4 year college?
I would like to be an Ob/gyn and I'm starting to think about colleges. I live in America but I want to move to London, England or maybe a suburb of London when I graduate from high school. What are some schools, preferably in London, that I could go to for a four year bachelor's degree and for Medical school?

The UK has a different system. You don't have to get your bachelor's to go to med school. You're accepted after secondary school based on your A'Level results. These are done in the last two years of secondary school. After 5 years of medical school you graduate with a medical degree. I recommend if you do move to the UK doing the A'Levels and then applying to medical school rather than doing an undergrad degree. Also UK degrees are 3 years not 4 years because of credit from A'Levels. The link below shows the entry requirements in more detail: http://www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/medical_entry.shtml Website with different UK universities and their programmes offered with student reviews: http://www.whatuni.com/degrees/home.html Good Luck

In the UK, you study medicine at the undergrad level, for your bachelors. So you wouldn't go to a uni first, then on to med school. All the UK med programs I know of only admit foreign students if those students come from a country where the medical education is non-existant or inferior. That's hardly the case for the US. But do look at the requirements for entry into various medical courses in the UK, and see if you can find some that will admit US students. I don't know *all* of them, so there certainly could be some. If you went to the UK for your bachelors degree in something other than medicine, a lot of US med schools wouldn't admit you. Some don't admit foreign educated students at all. Others do, but you'd need to have done a year of your pre-med classes at a uni in the US. Still others would be fine with you, so long as your UK degree covered everything required in the pre-med requirements. These are things you'd want to check into. Another factor in all this is that the salaries for most doctors in the UK are far lower than in the US. If you were to study medicine in the UK, you'd pay international student rates, which are fairly high. Not has high as the cost of med school in the US, but still; high. So you'd need to think through your ability to pay those costs and/or the student loans. But don't just take me on my word on all this. Keep looking into it. See what you can discover that might work for you.

Would it be a good idea for an American to attend medical school in the UK
Would it be a good idea for an American to attend medical school in the UK?
I am a seventeen year old American very interested in becoming a doctor. I am told medical school is only about 7-8 years in the UK compared to about 11-12 years in the US. I love the thought of saving four years if I attended schooling over seas. Would this be a good idea? If i did go, and became a doctor would i ever have to opportunity to practice medicine in the US after so many years if i desired so? feedback?

If you can afford it. The cost of living in UK is much higher than USA, so you would have to factor in those costs plus you would not be allowed to get a job to help you with finance, unless the university had some arrangement for overseas students. The big issue is, do American hospitals etc recognise UK qualifications? Or would you have to do some certification if you returned to USA? It's worth finding out first. Find out how much the Tuition is for overseas students. There are 3 semesters per year. Usually they pay the fees all at once at the beginning of each year.
