Bellerbys introduced me to the English system of education and provided excellent quality of teaching and subjects that were relevant to my university degrees, which as a result, enabled me to get into LSE. At LSE I was one of the winners of the Merrill Lynch Challenge, which enabled me to do an Easter internship at Merrill Lynch. In my 2nd year I did a summer internship at Merrill Lynch Investment Managers. After graduation I worked as an investment analyst before joining a financial PR agency.

The teachers were very helpful throughout the course, humorous, supportive, encouraging and kind. They taught material in simple way, but covered everything that is needed. Extra classes that helped to improve my logical thinking, prepared for the presentations and the whole interview process at Cambridge helped prepare me for my further studies. I wouldnt be where I am today without Bellerbys because it provided me with clear path to UK higher education.

Bellerbys three-term course allowed me to bridge the gap between the UK education system, where the academic year starts in September, and Singapore, where it runs from January, without having to lose a year. The number of international students at Bellerbys creates a very cosmopolitan environment. Also, the small class sizes let you get to know your teachers and classmates very well.

As a resident of Bellerbys you can enjoy a healthy breakfast on campus before you start your day. The canteen offers a range of choices to suit all diets and tastes. While there you can meet up with friends before morning registration.
Lessons are demanding but fun and you'll love the way technology, especially interactive whiteboards, is used to make classes more intesting.
When studying and learning its important to take regular breaks so you keep your concentration levels up. A break at 11am means that you can meet up with classmates in the common areas of the college, discuss your studies and relax over a snack.
What I enjoy most about my time at Bellerbys is the opportunity to learn about various cultures. I love meeting people from all over the world. It makes me feel more connected to those places. Bellerbys also helps prepare me for my further studies encouraging me to try my best and believe in myself. I would not have aimed as high if it werent for Bellerbys. Being here has encouraged me to demand more for myself. I would not be where I am today without Bellerbys.

I will always remember my Pre-Masters course in Bellerbys College as one of the most wonderful time as a student in the United Kingdom. Bellerbys helped to prepare for my further studies by developing the study skills which all students definitely need for their postgraduate studies.
Acclimatisation to British culture and British academic methods A major benefit of the Pre-Masters course is that it allows you valuable time to get used to the way of life in the UK and the academic system before you start your Masters programme. This means you will be fully prepared, not just to progress to university, but also to succeed when you are there.
Expert advice on choosing the right Masters course You will receive expert counselling to help you choose both the right university and the right postgraduate course for your academic ambitions.

Homestay
Homestay If you want to live a relatively independent life, but still have a caring home environment, Homestay is ideal. Homestay gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the UK culture and to feel part of a family, eating meals with them, and sharing their lives to get a real experience of British life. All Homestay accommodation is carefully chosen for the security and friendliness it provides and we make regular visits to ensure you have everything you need. We offer a choice of either single or shared rooms. All our hosts will warmly welcome you into their homes. Included in all Homestay accommodation l Fully equipped study bedroom, including desk and wardrobe l Breakfast and evening meal from Monday to Friday with a breakfast and main meal (lunch or dinner) at weekends l Telephone access l Weekly laundry Homestay Plus If you are under 16 years of age, you will be automatically registered for Homestay Plus. (Note: Homestay is only available in London to students who are 16 years old or above). This gives extra support and higher levels of personal supervision. A detailed care plan will be prepared for you, focusing on class, personal study and curfew times as well as dietary and medical issues. A copy of the care plan will be sent to your parents/guardians, so they know youre in good hands. Homestay Plus gives extra pastoral care, liaising regularly with the college, and giving extra support to you when you need it. Sharing You have an option to share your room with another student. Many students find this a very good way to ease the transition of living away from home. They often find it easier to settle in, and benefit from making friends with their new room-mate. Location We aim to place you in Homestays that are as close to our centres as possible. However in some cases, this may involve some travel to the centre, usually by bus or train. This a great way to see more of the city youre living in.
