SLIDE 8
University of California
Maths requirement
Must have evidence of passing exams that include calculus (A2 Maths or equivalent) You cannot apply to UC without this
Six independent campuses/colleges
Los Angeles San Diego Irvine Berkeley Santa Barbara Davis But you cannot choose which, they will assign you to one if accepted
SLIDE 9
Karolinska - set programme: no choice Melbourne and Singapore most flexible relatively easy to get on courses UC and UNC - Sign-up is on a first-come-first served basis and priority may be given to home students You will need to be pro-active (persist, pushy, pesky, persuasive) with module co-ordinators
Getting onto your chosen modules
