[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been considering England or Wales schools bc the tuition/room/board is similar to our flagship price bc it’s 3yrs vs 4. My child has hyperfocus & absolutely loathes the idea of gen eds & Eng/Wales schools at least don’t have them.

I’ve found that many courses/majors have the option on “year in industry”. So you’re at uni for years 1-2, then are placed in an internship for a year, then back on campus final year. The tuition for internship year is like  3k gbp.

I’d like to hear others perspective on if a year long internship would help mitigate the “I’ve never heard of that school” factor. For even some of the “lesser” universities with Mech E degrees, they’re placing kids at Rolls Royce & other places I have heard of[/quote]

We have cousins in England, and one nephew is taking a year off his history degree to do a placement with an international accounting firm. Apparently, people don't need to do an accounting degree to become an accountant. Kid loves history, but he never thought he'd be an academic historian. Seems like a great system. [/quote]
