The British education system has good reputation. Accredited qualifications obtained from British schools and universities are recognised in most parts of the world. There are courses in a wide variety of subjects, including many which are open to international students. Language teaching methods in the UK are well developed, although the quality of teaching at language schools can vary a lot. If a language school is recognised by the British Council, it is regularly checked to check that general standards are high.

If you are given a student visa when you enter the UK, you are allowed to work part-time. The cost of living in the UK (for example, accommodation and food) is quite high, so many students want to find part-time or holiday jobs so that they can afford to stay longer. Employment opportunities exist: unemployment is quite low in many parts of the UK, and there are shortages in certain professions such as nurses and teachers. Voluntary work has a long history in the UK and is usually well-organized. The number of holidays people can take is quite high compared to some other countries, and members of staff are usually encouraged to take them.

With increasing number of students facing financial constraints these days, many will seek casual or part-time work. LOECM is able to help by offering various types of job opportunities- from assisting with conferences to working in our bars, cafés and restaurants - for students of all years and subject disciplines. Rates of pay are competitive with other local employers, and parents and students can rest assured that they will not be exposed to unsafe conditions, unreasonable hours or an unpleasant working environment.
