Visa applications will be made a lot easier for prospective one-year master’s students applying to Newcastle University this year, thanks to a new visa pilot scheme.

Eligible international students applying to the prestigious Russell Group university will no longer be required to submit certificates, transcripts or documents showing they meet the Tier 4 visa maintenance requirements in their applications. The Tier 4 visa pilot has also increased the period students can stay in the UK after completing their programs from four to six months.

Anyone in the University’s 2018-2019 intake who wishes to study for 13 months or less will be able to participate in the pilot, which has also been rolled out to 22 other universities in England.

Students from the European Union and European Economic Area do not need visas to study in the UK at present, but the pilot could help if you’re from elsewhere in the world and wish to live and work in the UK after university.

Lucy Backhurst, Head of Recruitment and Admissions at Newcastle University said, "Newcastle University continues to successfully recruit students from across the globe based on our reputation for providing a world-class teaching and learning environment. The new pilot provides a far more streamlined process for genuine students who truly wish to study here."

The government said the pilot would support international students who hope to remain in the UK after their degree and switch to a work visa.

Chief executive of the Russell Group, Dr Tim Bradshaw, said: “International students enrich the learning environment on our campuses, enable local businesses to connect globally and bring huge economic benefit to the UK.

“For every seven international undergraduate students at a Russell Group university, £1 million is added to the economy.”

“The extension of this pilot is good news. It offers students a streamlined visa application and expands our post-study work offer. This will help attract students to study here and enable the UK to benefit from talented international graduates.”

2018 saw a record number of international applications

Despite concerns from 56 percent of students that Brexit would have a negative impact on their career, the UK’s decision to leave the European Union hasn’t diminished the number of applications to UK universities, according to the latest UCAS figures.

2018 actually saw a rise in the number of international applications to UK universities - over 100,000 for the first time ever.

The number of applications from EU students from outside the UK also hit record levels in January, rising 3.6 percent.

Helen Thorne, director of external relations at UCAS, said: "The UK’s universities are highly popular with EU and international students because of the quality of the teaching and experience they offer.

"There are probably several factors influencing the increasing numbers of applicants from the EU and beyond.  

"For example, the weaker pound makes the UK a cost effective place to study and the Government’s confirmation that EU students starting courses this autumn will be able to benefit from the existing financial support arrangements will have been beneficial."

The UK remains a top study abroad destination primarily thanks to the high standards of research and teaching established by its universities. There are currently 959 universities in the QS World University Rankings, including four within the top 10.

Also, eight UK universities are listed in the QS Best Student Cities Ranking 2017, including London and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, achieving high scores in desirability, employer activity and student experience.

留学的感觉就像回到了童年。作为留学生来到东京，你很快就会意识到你需要重新学习的东西有多少。至少在开始的时候，请忘掉你认为自己知道的一切，因为即使是像阅读食品标签或乘坐火车这样的事情也是一个新的挑战。

然而，正是这些细小的、意想不到的差异，让适应新的生活方式变得如此有意义--更不用说，回国后你还可以向家乡的朋友们讲述那些精彩的故事。

如果你对在日本东京留学的想法很感兴趣，这里有一些你可以期待发现的文化冲击和令人兴奋的差异。

买食物首先会是一个试错的过程

也许你会认为自己是一个经验丰富的旅行者，但在日本超市的货架上尝试阅读食品标签，你会很快打消这种错觉。解读汉字（日本汉字）虽然有难度，但只要多加练习，也不是不可能。如果你对什么东西过敏，一定要在钱包里带一张纸，上面写着过敏原的汉字名称和发音。

随着时间的推移，阅读日语会越来越容易，但你可能想打印出这个词汇表，以帮助你在日本旅行的最初几个月读日文。

幸运的是，东京是一个非常国际化的目的地，所以很常见到用英语写的招牌，虽然不是所有的店员都会说英语，但他们一般都会很乐意帮助你，并尽力满足你的需求。

你一定会爱上新&旧东京

玄奘寺的 "羽田一 "展销会

善导寺

东京通常被认为是一个非常华丽和现代的地方，但它也是一个反差很大的城市。比如浅草，是首都最古老的艺妓区，有着非常传统的氛围。这里有许多古老的戏院和旅馆，是传统的日本旅馆，有滑动的米纸屏风和榻榻米。

此外，东京最古老的佛教寺院 "善导寺 "也在这里，其历史可追溯到7世纪。每年有超过3千万人次的游客，是世界上最常被拜访的灵修场所。

艺妓

与浅草完全相反的是东京的超酷原宿区，这里是世界闻名的日本亚文化中心。在这里，你会发现有很多独立的商店和年轻人的勇敢的服装选择。

原宿站

饭菜是非常值得品尝的

作为世界上拥有米其林星级餐厅最多的城市，东京是美食家的天堂，提供从日本的高级料理到富有创意的街头小吃的、令人愉悦的菜肴。在东京生活，你会被宠坏，但如果你想家了，想吃家乡的饭菜，只需坐火车到新宿、涩谷或池袋，你会发现那里有几家适合学生的餐馆。

你会爱上东京的二次元

秋叶原

秋叶原，东京的极客区，对宅男-往往是对流行文化的某些小众方面狂热的年轻人-而言，是人间天堂。想象一下游戏玩家、流行偶像迷和漫画、动画爱好者。

秋叶原也有很多漫画店和游戏商场，在街上看到玩Cosplay的人并不稀奇。如果你在秋叶原游玩时，看到有蓝色、绿色或粉色头发的人，千万不要吃惊。

在东京的公园里度过下午的时光

明治神社

提起东京，人们往往会联想到人山人海、高楼林立的水泥丛林，但其实东京的绿化程度出乎意料，在城市的中心地带，有许多公园和花园。

其中，明治神宫是一个占地70公顷的灵修场所和森林，就在东京市中心的原宿站旁。世界各地的政治家都曾来过这里，包括乔治-布什、希拉里-克林顿和吉多-韦斯特韦勒。在炎热潮湿的日本夏季，这里是学生们特别喜欢的休闲场所。

上野公园

在赏樱花（Hanami)，-标志着樱花季开始的户外派对-期间，当灯笼高悬，春天的上野公园也是特别美丽。

东京的地铁让你印象深刻

东京拥有世界上最高效的公共交通系统之一。与世界其他首都的地铁或地下系统相比，东京的火车总是干净、准时、安静。和伦敦人一样，东京人也不能容忍吃东西、大声说话和插队的人--所以如果你最终要通勤或需要去城市的其他地方，可以保证你将获得平和、安静的旅行。不过，火车也会像西方国家的火车一样拥挤，所以不要总是指望有座位。

如果您想去海外或日本国内旅行，东京也有令人惊叹的交通枢纽。东京有两个主要的国际机场，羽田机场和成田机场，这两个机场都可以通过高速列车从东京到达。这些高速列车连接着日本的主要城市，是游览日本的一种奇妙而快捷的方式。

日本的夏天很有特色

日本的夏天非常炎热潮湿，从6月初开始一直到8月，气温在30多度左右。在这个时候，经常可以看到当地人拿着小毛巾到处擦脸。

东京的雨季，又称梅雨，是梅子成熟的季节，从6月上旬开始，北方的寒流与南方的暖气交汇，到7月下旬结束。一定要注意不要出门不带伞!

在东京选择大学

作为世界上最受欢迎的留学城市之一，东京拥有众多著名的大学，其中早稻田大学提供50多个全英文授课的课程。其中，早稻田大学提供50多个全英文授课的课程。早稻田大学的留学生人数在日本各大学中名列前茅，引以为豪。

早稻田大学位于东京市中心，该校的学生经常会步行到高田马场，附近有很多拉面店、卡拉OK店和商店。

Have you ever been passionate about knowing how organizations work? Or how to create and promote a product or service? Is one of your favorite famous people a renowned business leader?

If at least one of the answers to these questions is yes, then you should probably be thinking about studying business at university. From my personal experience, pursuing a business and management degree can do wonders for your career and there are few other degree options which will prepare you for the working world to the same extent.

Here are five reasons why studying business is the best thing to study at university.

You’ll learn how to become an entrepreneur

When you’re studying business, you gain knowledge of a wide range of subjects. From finance and marketing to strategic management and design thinking, the variety is immense, and all of these skills will be essential if you want to start a business and become your own boss someday.

As the final project of my master’s degree, I will create a business and pitch the idea to a panel of judges from the business community. This will give me the opportunity to apply my knowledge as I design the structure of a company. If you’d also like to work independently by creating a start-up, then business is the career for you.

You get fantastic experience of networking

In life, it’s not always about what you know, it’s who you know too. By studying business, you’ll have the chance to develop meaningful relationships with your classmates, your lecturers, and guest speakers. Moreover, you can attend networking events to meet potential contacts, and even use tools such as LinkedIn to create your professional brand online.

By reaching the right people, you can be one step closer to achieving your goals of getting a job, or even becoming a manager in another country.

Few other degrees are as good at developing your soft-skills

Studying business means you’ll have a chance to develop various important skills in addition to your academic knowledge. These soft skills are things every professional requires in today’s workplace. In my case, I’ve been able to improve my public speaking skills through presentations, learn how to work in teams through group work, adapt my communication style when working with people from different cultures, and enhance my critical thinking abilities by writing essays and reports.

You’ll also feel more confident as you learn new things and leverage the opportunities that come your way.

Business degrees offer a fantastic, practical education

Many of the top business schools offer internships as a way for students to apply their knowledge. By gaining work experience, you’ll get an idea of how a company works from the inside and be able to relate your learning experience to the real world. An internship can also be a pathway to getting a part-time or full-time job.

Another way of getting experience is through volunteering, in which you can gain new skills while giving back to the community. In my case, my university offers volunteering opportunities for students on campus and I had the opportunity to volunteer as part of the Orientation Week Team. This involved welcoming new students to campus, which was both an awesome experience and a chance to develop my initiative and my communication skills. This is also a fantastic way to improve your CV as employers look for people who are committed to social causes.

The work you do will be helping other businesses thrive

If you want a degree which can help you give back to society, consider the fact the skills and abilities you’ll learn while studying business will ultimately be the key to helping companies be successful. If you enjoy tackling the big picture, using your problem-solving skills and helping others, then you could use your business degree as a stepping stone towards a career in consultancy.

Whatever you decide to do after you’ve graduated, studying business will help you tremendously at both a personal and professional level. So, take a look at this year’s QS World University Rankings by Subject and choose a top-ranked university for business & management that’s near you.
