Accommodation
Living on campus
Most students in their first year live on campus in halls of residence. If you're an international student we'll give you priority for this. If for any reason we can't find a place for you in our halls of residence on campus, our student services team will help you to find private accommodation that's near to the university.
Living in private accommodation
In your second, third and fourth years of study, we'll help you to find a place to live that's near to the university. We'll help you to find accommodation that can include your family, if that's necessary.
Council Tax
In the UK, people have to pay for local services (such as police and libraries) through Council Tax. If you are living with other students, on or off campus, and are in full-time education you won't have to pay Council Tax. If you are living with a partner who can't work or claim benefits as part of their visa, then they won't have to pay council tax either. You may be required to prove that you're a student to the local council or your immigration status to a landlord (if you're renting private accommodation near to the university). We can help you with this.
一、住所
1、住在校园里
大多数学生在第一年住在校园内的居住地。如果您是国际学生,我们会优先考虑这一点。如果由于任何原因,我们在校园里的居住地不能找到一个地方让您居住,我们的学生服务团队将帮助您找到靠近大学的私人住宿。
2、住私房
在您的第二,第三,四年的学习中,我们将帮助您找到靠近大学的住所。如果有必要,我们将帮助您找到可以包括您的家庭的住宿。
3、家庭税
在英国,人们必须通过理事会税来支付当地的服务(如警察和图书馆)。如果你和其他学生住在校外或在校外,并且正在接受全日制教育,你将不必缴纳家庭税。如果你和一个不能工作的人合作生活,或者要求他们作为签证的一部分,那么他们也不必缴纳家庭税。您可能需要证明您是本地理事会的学生或您的房东的移民身份(如果您在大学附近租用私人住宿)。我们可以帮助您。
Academic life
Studying at university in the UK may be different to what you're used to in your own country. Courses are normally split up into 'modules' which cover different topics within the overall subject you're studying. These modules are usually taught in lectures to large groups and followed up by tutorial sessions with smaller groups. You may get the chance to see what you're learning in action with a trip to a neighbouring farm, environmental project or something appropriate to your studies.To help you get settled into academic life in the UK, we'll invite you to a pre-sessional programme. This takes place before the start of the academic year and is designed to introduce you to life in the UK and help you prepare to study at Harper Adams. For some students, attending the pre-sessional programme may be mandatory.
English language support
If English is not your first language, you can access our English language support services. These include classes, one-to-one sessions and pre-sessional English language courses. We'll tell you more about these services when you apply, but you can also get in touch with us if you have any questions.
二、学术生活
在英国大学学习可能与您在自己国家习惯的学习有所不同。课程通常分为“模块”,涵盖您正在学习的整体科目中的不同主题。这些模块通常在大型课堂上讲授,并跟随较小组的辅导课程。你可能有机会看到你正在学习的行动,去邻近的农场,环境项目或适合你的学习的东西。为了帮助您在英国进入学术生涯,我们将邀请您参加一个会前课程。这是在学年开始之前进行的,旨在向您介绍英国的生活,并帮助您准备在哈珀亚当斯学习。对于一些学生,参加会前课程可能是强制性的。
英语支持
如果英语不是您的第一语言,您可以访问我们的英语支持服务。这些课程包括课程,一对一课程和会前英语语言课程。如果您有任何问题,我们会在申请时告诉您有关这些服务的更多信息,但如果您有任何问题,您也可以联系我们。
