We will hold pre-departure orientations at the British Council for people intending to study in the UK from the next academic year (autumn 2009). The orientation will include an update on visas from British Embassy staff and a networking party. Don’t miss this chance to exchange information with like-minded students headed for the UK!

The yen-sterling exchange rate is now around ¥150 to £1, only 60% last year's rate of around ¥250! This means that the yen cost of a  £20,000 MBA course, for example, has fallen from ¥5 million a year ago to ¥3 million today. What's more, you can obtain an MBA or most other Master's degrees in a year, so you save on living expenses, too. And don't forget that you can work in the UK after graduating, allowing you to build up your work experience as well as your savings. So if you have been dreaming of studying in the UK, this could be your chance...
