La lezione di oggi darà alcune informazioni utili a chi vorrebbe studiare nel Regno Unito.

If you are planning (progettando) to study in the UK, you will have to consider what course you will study, how you will pay for your fees (tasse universitarie) and expenses (spese) and where you will live.

The British Council can provide (fornire) information about the courses you can attend (frequentare) in the UK.
If you cannot afford (permetterti) the full cost of your studies, you may apply for (fare domanda per) a grant (borsa di studio). However, competition for grants is high, so be careful not to miss (mancare) application deadlines (scadenza).
Having suitable accommodation (sistemazione adatta) is very important to help you settle (ambientarsi) into the UK. Some institutions provide accommodation for students in halls of residence (casa dello studente).

The cost of accommodation and other expenses (food, books, transport) will vary depending on (in base a) where you live. It is estimated that a degree student (studente universitario) needs around £770 per month to live in the UK.

Che differenza c’è tra college e university? Scoprilo leggendo la lezione di oggi.

In Britain, the word college is used to refer to a number of educational institutions: public schools for children (e.g. Eton), sixth form schools which are attended by students aged between 16 and 18, and universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, which consist of a federation of colleges.

In the United States, the word college is used to refer to smaller institutions which only grant bachelor’s or associate’s degrees (diplomi universitari, lauree di primo livello).
Institutions of higher education which consist of different faculties and offer several higher degree courses are called universities.
However, in everyday language, Americans say “go to college” or “go to school” even if they are referring to university.

This is why confusion may arise between British and American English.

La lezione di oggi ti illustrerà l’uso dell’articolo determinativo the con i nomi di edifici.

Leggi le frasi seguenti. Qual è la differenza tra loro?

1. “Does your sister go to university? ”
   “Yes, she studies Biology”.
2. “Excuse me, how do I get to the university?”
   “You can get a number 45 bus from here”.

Nel secondo esempio, ci riferiamo all’università in quanto luogo fisico specifico, dunque utilizziamo l’articolo determinativo.

La stessa regola si applica a college, prison, hospital e church.

Alison had an accident yesterday. She’s in hospital now.

I went to the hospital this morning to visit her.

Ricorda che se la parola College o University è preceduta da un nome proprio o geografico, l’articolo si omette:

She has applied to study French at London University (The University of London).
