    UoL has a good reputation, the courses are reasonably priced (just don't forget to add the costs of examination of the British Council if you are not in UK - not cheap).

    I am working of a BA in French. I have to say that the program is not very flexible: I had to sit the expensive and time consuming French A level exams although I am a native French speaker. Students also have no choice in the first and second year levels. We have to study what was decided by UoL (ie not like a US university). Exams are once a year only.

    You get guide booklets to help you study (you will need to buy tons of books if you don't have nearby a library carrying the books).

    Examinations are in form of essays (write 1 or 2 essays in about 2 hours, depending on the exam). Examiners expect a certain format/style which I find a little challenging.

    Dear Fadel,

    Our courses really vary from one to another. I believe initially you were interested in the MA Applied Educational Leadership, this is an incredibly different course to the BA French.

    Therefore could I suggest that you do a search for "University of London" on this forum to get a wider range of student experiences. You will not find any student already taking the MA Applied Educational Leadership and Management as it is a new course this year.

    However I'd suggest trying to contact other students taking postgraduate courses. With the exception of the LLM these courses do not require the purchase of any additional textbooks or other materials.

    I'd further hhannahh's suggestion. Please visit the British Council where you are based and find out the full costs you will pay for the course (not just the University fees). For details of your nearest British Council office in Saudi Arabia please follow the link provided.

    If you have any specific questions that you would like answered please do not hesitate to contact the UoL Information Centre on [email protected]

    Hope this helps,
