I. Introduction of BRP Card
Biometric residence permit is its full name, which will contain the owner's fingerprints, photos, signatures and other important information. In Britain, the equivalent of a student ID card can give us a discount, and a BRP card is even more essential for students who love to drink, because in Britain, if you want to buy alcohol, you must reach legal age. Unless you look old at first glance, you really don't know if you are lucky or unlucky.
Second, how to apply for a BRP card?
Since it is so important, it won't be too much trouble to apply. Some students think that you have actually fallen into a misunderstanding. Sometimes important things are not necessarily hard to get, and sometimes what you have worked so hard to get is just an empty shell, such as the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror. This BRP card does not need to be applied separately. We applied for a British visa by the way. Isn't it a surprise?
But it will be more difficult to apply for renewal in the UK. Although it is also done with the renewed visa, we still need to go to the post office to collect biological information. But not all post offices can handle this procedure, so you can first find out which post offices can provide services on the branch finder, bring the required documents, submit them to 19.2 for information, and then you can go home and wait. BRP will be mailed.
It should be noted that students who choose priority service must complete the entry of biological information within two days, while students who choose value-added service can go through the formalities directly at the renewal office.
Third, how to apply for a card
How to get a card for students who don't choose to mail it? If you don't choose to mail, the post office will inform you when to collect the certificate. You can get it directly without an appointment. This is really hard to get in Britain.
Fourth, matters needing attention in life
If you want to plan the time to study in Britain, you must take the right first step. Generally speaking, the first step of a thing will set the tone for a thing, so you must not underestimate it. So the first thing to do when you first arrive in Britain is to attend the orientation week, because this week is the best time for you to know about this school, and you can ask anything you meet. There are also some clubs that recruit people at this time. When they arrive in a new place, they will always have a good impression on those freshmen who also come together. If you go late, you will miss such a good opportunity. Moreover, if you arrive one day earlier, you can get used to life in Britain, adapt to the new environment and adjust the time difference.
In Britain, their classrooms are not fixed, and many classrooms have to be changed every day. It is difficult to find a suitable place if you are unfamiliar with the school. Besides, you shouldn't think that you can follow your roommate in China. In Britain, your roommate may not be in your class, because in Britain, you choose your own courses, and generally speaking, we need to rent a house outside the school because there are not many student apartments in the school.
Join an interested club as soon as you arrive at school, so that you can find like-minded partners and cultivate interest. But don't sign up anyone who is interested. Unlike domestic clubs, there is basically nothing wrong with clubs in Britain. In the choice of clubs, you can also choose clubs and interest clubs that are helpful to your major.
Studying in the UK has four long holidays a year, so if you want to go to other European countries, you need to make plans in advance, you can apply for multiple round-trip visas to France, which is also very convenient for going to other countries in the future, and the general exams are arranged after Easter and Christmas, so you should pay attention to this if you want to go out to play. You can adjust your mentality before the holiday.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) teaching method
Course composition
British courses are called modules, and each course will have several teachers, a module leader and several tutors. Each course consists of lectures and seminars.
give a lecture
This is the framework for us to learn knowledge in Britain and the foundation of everything. Usually, one or more professors come to teach and explain knowledge and theory to students. The teaching method is basically the same as that of domestic universities. Many students will study together in a larger classroom. The teaching duration is generally more than 2 hours, with a break of 10- 15 minutes in the middle.
I believe that when you watch those British campus movies, you will find that they basically have computers. Yes, you can basically bring it in the classroom in Britain, or even you must. If you encounter any problems in class, we can ask them. Don't be silent all the time, because it is not easy to find a teacher after class.
seminar
Generally, courses will be set up after the lecture, and the instructors will guide the discussion. Generally, there are 0/-2 times per week1-20 students, and the course duration is 30-60 minutes. At the beginning of the course, the instructor will upload the topics to be discussed to official website in advance. You need to download it yourself, and prepare the relevant materials first. The course will be more casual. Everyone will sit together in groups of 3-4. For some questions, the tutor will grade the students according to their performance, and this score will be counted as the final grade, so be sure to be prepared.
workshop
This kind of course is prepared for students who pay attention to practical operation, such as fashion design, chemistry, etc., and students need to do experiments in the workshop. The curriculum is generally uncertain, and an experimental report may need to be completed.
