Educating Beyond Borders: Guest blog by Voice of Salam - Would you pay tens of thousands of...

Pinned to Brainfood on Pinterest: Guest blog by Voice of Salam - Would you pay tens of thousands of pounds for an incomplete degree? We're delighted by the growing media interest in the plight of international students in the UK.Click this link to read the excellent article by the blogger Elizabeth on her blog the Voice of Salam. Please would you read this article and ask yourself this very tough question: what would you do if you'd spend 200000 to learn a highly specialist subject in a foreign country. Then find out you couldn't learn all the skills and subject matter;only towards the end of your degree. After you'd spent alot of time and alot of money working towards your professional qualification. How would you feel?What would you do? Would you want others to help you get justice? Maybe these questions might be quite challenging in the current context of the immigration debate in the UK. Ponder these questions until the next guest blog posts from Media Activist Jay Baker are published.

The adventure starts here, NOW!

Would you pay tens of thousands of pounds (sterling) for an incomplete degree? 

 It's a great question, Elizabeth, asked on her blog recently:
 https://voiceofsalam.wordpress.com/2016/01/18/would-you-pay-tens-of-thousands-of-pounds-for-an-incomplete-degree-the-uk-government-wants-you-to/


Not sure what yours would be. But my answer is "NO" of course.

The title of Elizabeth's blog really makes you stop to think. But I've also found her article really explains what it's really like to be an international student here in the UK.

I never thought, 5 years on from being awarded a Distinction for Part 2 of my Architecture studies. Plus, my beloved GD placing 2nd in the prestigious Corus Awards would I be here. My Part 3 not done.

My life plan (doesn't everyone pre - map out their exact career path from start to retirement at 50?) meant I'd have 5 years solid experience with a reputable, design led company. Before 35, I'd be moving on, launching my own architecture practice; be a director of my own company.

Well, it's not quite worked out like that. BUT, the adventure is about to begin again. Join me here on my digital adventure to finish my studies. After not being able to blog for the past 6 years. It's nice to be back. I think we're in for one heck of an adventure!

I'm looking forward to sharing it with you =)
