UK Education : Departments 
       
Some UK courses have a well deserved international reputation 
        and high standards of entry. 
There are various department heads. Each department provides a variety 
        of courses. The level of qualification required and acceptable by each 
        department may differ. Some departments may accept assessments of prior 
        experimental learning (APEL). 
In this case you can provide evidence 
        of your previous acquired skills and knowledge by presenting a portfolio 
        or taking a test.  
      Some courses (where work experience forms a part of course) grant permission 
        to work. It is a valuable opportunity for overseas students since permission 
        to work is generally hard to get. So check out for a department having 
        good contact with industry and business that facilitate better work placement 
        opportunities or involve you with a relevant project which could be valuable.
