If I hadnt gone to INTO Manchester, I wouldnt have got into Cambridge, that is for sure. On my own I would not have achieved it as I wouldnt have had the support of my teachers and the necessary background knowledge. Cambridge is quite unique. You really have to show them that you stand out from the crowd. The key to this is confidence and having the attitude that you have nothing to lose. You also have to prioritise your workload and breaking it into small manageable portions can help. That it the key to success!

The city of Manchester


A student-friendly city
Manchester is a vibrant and modern city with cultural events and attractions to suit every lifestyle. The city itself has a diverse and multicultural population and is also home to one of the largest student populations in the UK.
The worlds first industrial city, which has been transformed into one of the most dynamic and lively cities in Europe. A student-focused city that attracts more international students than any other UK region. Home to two premiership football teams: Manchester United and Manchester City football clubs. Over 300 restaurants including the famous Curry Mile and Britains second largest Chinatown. More than 50 museums and galleries in Greater Manchester, most of which provide free admission. Shopping capital of the North and home to the UKs largest inner-city shopping centre.
A history of innovation
Manchesters position as the worlds first industrial city is evident in its famous Victorian buildings and monuments, such as the Town Hall in Albert Square. Over the last few years the city centre has been reshaped. New public spaces have been created, and imaginative buildings and developments have appeared, transforming Manchesters skyline.

Cultural Manchester
Manchester is rich with famous comedy clubs, leading museums and theatres featuring the countrys top performers. Also famed for its vibrant music scene, the city has launched some of the great names in music history including The Smiths, Joy Division, Take That, Doves, Oasis and the Stone Roses.

Food from around the world


With over 300 restaurants in the city, there is an eclectic range of high-quality, modern British and international cuisine available, making it easy to find foods from around the world. Manchesters Chinatown is the second largest in Britain and has a number of Asian restaurants and supermarkets. There are also many restaurants and shops in Rusholmes Curry Mile offering South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine and produce.

A world-class sporting city


Manchester is home to two of the biggest names in sport: Manchester United and Manchester City football clubs. Their stadiums are located at opposite ends of the city. Manchester Uniteds grounds, Old Trafford, is the largest club ground in Britain, while 2012 Premiership winners Manchester City are based on the other side of the city at their Eastlands stadium, originally built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. The Games left a legacy of world-class sporting facilities, including the Manchester Aquatics Centre located on The University of Manchesters campus. National and international cricket can be enjoyed at Lancashires Old Trafford Ground.

Shopping capital of the North
Manchester is the shopping capital of the North and has a range of department stores, popular high street chains and designer boutiques. The Northern Quarter offers a unique experience with its mix of bars, cafs and unique one-off shops, where you will be able to find products from all over the world. The Trafford Centre, a large out-of-town shopping centre with more than 250 stores, confirms Manchesters reputation as a shoppers paradise.

and beyond the city


Manchester is a great base from which to explore the rest of the UK. There are four national parks within an hours drive, including the naturally stunning Peak District, Lake District and North Wales. London is just two hours by train and the historic city of York and the unique Blackpool seaside resort are also within easy reach by train. For those who wish to explore further afield, Manchester International Airport has daily flights arriving from 200 destinations and a frequent service to the two main London airports, Heathrow and Gatwick, as well as to most major European cities.

Getting around the city


Although Manchester is one of the largest cities in the UK, it is extremely accessible and easy to navigate, enabling you to enjoy its modern and cosmopolitan facilities. It has a compact city centre and is easy to get around either on foot or by using the citys excellent transport system. This includes relatively cheap buses, a modern Metrolink tram system and an extensive train network with connections throughout the UK.

The Manchester Museum holds over 4 million natural specimen and objects, including a fossilised Tyrannosaurus Rex

Manchester is a famous football city with a multicultural environment. It is my favourite city in the UK because it is a student city where thousands of students come together from all around the world and share their cultures and traditions with each other, making it a suitable environment for everyone. You wont find any other city like it in the world!

Exceptional teaching
From the best teachers
Our students have gone on to graduate from some of the worlds leading universities. Their success is due to the ideal study environment we offer, which combines modern facilities, university-style teaching and access to the latest e-learning technology.
At INTO Manchester our teachers are highlyqualified and have extensive experience of helping international students to prepare for university success. You will benefit from small class sizes and university-style teaching, and receive regular progress reports to ensure that you remain on track to achieve your academic ambitions. As well as developing your English language skills and academic knowledge, our courses are designed to ensure you develop the skills in critical thinking, research and independent learning everything you need for university success. All of our English language courses are accredited by the British Council. This not also guarantees that all of our teachers have the appropriate qualifications, but also ensures that you receive the highest quality of teaching as you develop your English language skills.

My favourite part of the role is teaching. I really enjoy seeing students develop; both as language learners and as confident young people ready to move on to the next stage in their education. I think to work at INTO Manchester you need patience, flexibility, stamina, an ability to empathise with students living far from home, and a good sense of humour. For teachers, it is a great place to work as we have students from all over the world who are really keen to learn and develop and who can teach us a lot too.

Student support
From arrival to graduation
You are about to embark on a life-changing journey. Its not something we expect you to do on your own. Our support network starts before you leave home and will be there to help you with everything; from supporting you with your application and renewing your visa, to finding the best restaurant in your new home.
Supporting your application
Your first point of contact with the Centre is likely to be with one of INTOs representatives in your home country. Always happy to help, they recognise the importance of the choices you are making and are well-informed about the Centre, our courses and the wide range of universities that you can progress to. They will gladly answer any questions and assist you with your application. Meet us in your country INTOs regional office network means you can be sure to speak with someone in your country with in-depth knowledge of the study opportunities available to you. Representatives from the Centre regularly travel overseas, providing you with an opportunity to discuss your study plan with someone from the institution face-to-face. Applying for your course Once you have all the information you need, youll be ready to make your application. Our team of experienced customer relations advisers will ensure that your application is processed swiftly and that you receive the documents you need to obtain your visa for entry to the UK. For further information on our application processes, see page 70. Students who are under the age of 18 Before the Centre accepts a student younger than 18 years of age, parents must sign a consent form authorising our staff to act in loco parentis (on behalf of the parent) in the case of an emergency. Parents are also required to complete a medical information form. Relevant forms will be sent to parents and the student with confirmation documents. No student will be accepted at the Centre without completing and returning these forms before the start of the course. The Centre also recommends that parents appoint a UK-based guardian for international students under 18. If your parents are making their own arrangements for guardianship services, or for a friend or family member to act as a guardian, evidence of these arrangements must be supplied before the course starts. A copy of our policy on younger students is available on request. When should I arrive? You must arrive in Manchester on the weekend before the first day of your course or on the relevant arrival date on page 78. You should inform the INTO Admissions Office of your date of arrival and travel arrangements at least seven days prior to your arrival in the UK, so that we can advise either the Residential Tutors, or your host family, of when to expect you. Travelling to Manchester If you are arriving in the UK for the first time, we strongly recommend that you fly directly to Manchester or pickup a connecting flight at one of the other international airports that have direct links with Manchester, such as Amsterdam, Dubai and Paris. These routes are preferable, as you will avoid transferring through London with the additional travel time. For students arriving at Manchester International Airport, we offer an airport pickup service from the airport to your accommodation, at an additional charge. If you want to make use of this service you will need to provide the INTO Admissions Office with your full flight details in advance of your arrival date. Full details of the pickup service are provided with your confirmation documents. If you are under 18 when you arrive this service is compulsory, unless your parents can provide evidence to our Admissions Office that a suitable arrangement has been made for your collection from Manchester International Airport at which you arrive into the UK. This compulsory service also applies when you are departing the UK. You will need to provide the Student Services team with your full flight details in advance of your arrival or departure date.

Your journey to the UK


Once you have accepted your offer, you can begin planning your arrival in the UK. Pre-departure guide You will receive a pre-departure guide containing practical information which will help you prepare for travelling to the UK, arriving in Manchester and enrolling on your course of study at the Centre. The pre-departure guide is also available as a mobile app enabling you to find useful information, upload and view photos and videos, access Google maps and find your way around the campus. The guide and mobile app also include information to help you adapt to living and studying in another culture, booking your airport pickup and confirming your arrival details. www.intohigher.com/into-manchester/pdg

Your first week
Student Services team Based at the Centre, our dedicated Student Services team looks forward to meeting you. Throughout your studies they offer a range of support services to meet your needs as an international student. When you first arrive at the Centre, the team will help you to settle into student life in Manchester, and will remain your first point of contact for any non-academic issue you may have, such as registering with a doctor, opening a bank account or renewing your visa. No matter how large or small your problem may be, there is always someone on hand to help. Orientation programme When you arrive, you will attend an Orientation programme, carefully designed to introduce you to life and study in Manchester. It is important that you attend the orientation, which includes a formal academic induction where you will register for your course, take an English language placement test, receive your timetable and select your modules for academic programmes, where appropriate. A tour will introduce you to your new home including the INTO Centre, the nearby city centre, and public transport and amenities. It will also include social activities, which are a great way to meet new friends and explore the city of Manchester.

On-going support
Social activity programme While the main reason for coming to Manchester is to study, involvement in non-academic activities is also important to help you adjust to life in the UK and develop a network of friends. The city of Manchester offers a wide variety of options for socialising, experiencing the arts or taking part in sports. We also organise a regular programme of activities designed to help you make the most of your time in the UK. The programme includes trips to places of interest in Manchester and other parts of the UK, as well as visits to the theatre and cinema. Full day excursions cost between 1540 per person, depending on the activity. Other social programme activities are charged at variable rates ranging from free to 25 per person. 24-hour support The Centre is dedicated to ensuring that you feel totally safe and supported. Upon arrival, all students are issued with an emergency telephone number which can be used to contact Centre staff outside of office hours in the unlikely event of an emergency or urgent situation. Within the halls of residence, 24-hour support is provided by our Residential tutors. Multilingual staff The Centres language advisers speak a range of languages and are available to assist students and parents to communicate effectively in English. Visa and immigration support Once students arrive at the Centre, the Student Services team will provide information, support and guidance on renewing your student visa, as well as issuing any documentation you may need to submit to support your visa application. Visa workshops will be held throughout the year and individual appointments can be made for you should you require specific advice. Student attendance monitoring Good attendance is key to success. INTO Manchester expects all students to attend all academic sessions. Student attendance is monitored carefully and where attendance is not satisfactory, our student progress team will provide additional support to ensure that you can succeed in your studies. The Centre has an additional obligation to report to the UK Border Agency (UKBA) any changes that may affect the terms of an international students visa, including an international students absence from the programme. Support for students with disabilities A confidential service for students is available offering advice and information on a range of disabilities including dyslexia, sensory impairments, and mobility and medical conditions. For further details please contact the Student Services team.

The most important thing I have learned over the years is that a genuine smile is the simplest way to put someone at ease, make them feel safe and help them to feel more confident in their communication. All of my team have travelled, have children or know how much their own parents have worried about them in the past, we can empathise with the students and parents. I am very proud of the work we do at INTO Manchester and we would welcome anyone to come and join us.
Emma Williams, Head of Student Services INTO Manchester

Highly-fluent English students and near-native speakers

Academic guidance
You will receive support from your tutor on personal and academic issues, including advice on your studies and career plans. We also have an International Progression Officer who will help with your university application.

Excellent choice of undergraduate degree subjects

Teaching and learning styles


Throughout the International Foundation programme, all academic subject modules are taught using a lecture and tutorial process that mirrors the style of teaching that you will encounter at university. Traditional teaching methods are supported by extensive e-learning provision.

During my Foundation programme I studied Maths, Politics and Economics. I think the basics were covered well during my time at INTO Manchester. Even the basics of Excel we learned are now coming in quite handy. Without the basics, my Economics lecturers at the University wouldnt really make sense. Without the help of INTO Manchester I probably wouldnt have done so well. The teachers did a good job!

INTO Manchester has helped prepare me for university in so many different ways. Everything from giving presentations to preparing for the future was covered on my course. The teachers have helped me to develop all of my skills and work in an excellent learning environment. The course is also providing me with a head start on my chosen university course next year. My favourite part of studying here is the group of friends I have made throughout the year and the tutors who are always there for the students when they are in need of help and assistance.

International Foundation programme

The International Foundation in Science and Engineering course was a great course as it covered a wide range of subjects, such as Chemistry, Physics, and IT. I really liked studying at INTO Manchester, as it had great staff, teachers and pupils. The teachers always had time to answer my questions to help me prepare. Now that I am at university, I have made a lot of friends, as all the students here are open and friendly.

A-levels
Your direct route to a British university
The A-level programme prepares you for direct entry to a wide range of undergraduate degrees in humanities and social sciences at a UK university.
Why should I study A-levels in the UK?
A-levels or Advanced Levels are public exams taken by most British students living in the UK in order to enter university. A-levels are recognised worldwide and offer the perfect preparation for entry to the best and most competitive universities in the world. If you study A-levels in the UK, you will be studying the same subjects, using the same books and taking the same exams and coursework assessment as the vast majority of UK students preparing for university entry. This means that when you begin your degree at a UK university you will have a great deal in common with UK students and will not feel disadvantaged because of having a different educational background. Studying in the UK before you begin your degree also provides you with the opportunity to adapt to the different demands, challenges and expectations of the UK education system, so that by the time you start university you will be comfortable with studying in a UK environment, and will be able to concentrate immediately on your studies.

An internationally-recognised A-level syllabus


The A-level programme is divided into two parts. The first half of an A-level is known as the AS (Advanced Subsidiary), and is normally taken after one year of study. The second part of the A-level is known as A2, and is normally taken after two years of study. Students only progress to the second year of study if they have performed satisfactorily in the AS examinations. A-level course options INTO Manchester offers two intakes for A-level students: a five- and a six-term programme, starting in September and January of each year. The A-level programme In your first year at INTO Manchester you will study Mathematics, plus three subjects from the following list: Accounting, Business Studies, Economics, Further Mathematics, Politics, Psychology and Sociology*. In the second year you may drop one of your three options to allow you to concentrate on fewer subjects, but you must continue with Mathematics. You will also be encouraged to take an A-level in your native language wherever possible, although we do not provide tuition for languages other than English. All students will also take classes in English for Academic Purposes (EAP), ICT and Study Skills and attend regular tutorial classes. A-levels are an intensive programme and students should expect to spend as much time on homework and self-study as they do in the classroom.

What makes the Manchester A-level programme special?


Specialist A-level teachers and small class sizes. Academically rigorous AQA and Edexcel A-level syllabus. Study three or four academic subject alongside English for Academic Purposes, ICT and Study Skills. Regular one-to-one tutorials will personalise your study plan. Extensive examination practice. Professional advice on university choices and application procedures. Highest level of personal care and support for school-age students.

INTO Manchester is a great place to study with good learning equipment and friendly teachers as well as it being situated in a fun city such as Manchester. INTO has helped me to manage my time efficiently and is contributing greatly to me achieving my dreams in the future.

A Study Skills element is integrated with the English for Academic Purposes classes and tutorial support. IT skills to be covered include basic computer literacy and Internet use for business management, search engines, online journals and library resources, use of spreadsheets and databases and statistical analysis software. other sources, and to establish a clear philosophical and methodological basis for the production of an academically sound dissertation. The dissertation brings together all the skills and knowledge from the management theme, and is designed for students to acquire core academic and research skills which will enable effective study at postgraduate level. This will be an independent piece of research, though you will have language support as well as a tutor who will offer clear guidance on content and structure. Your focus is on a specific area of business or management relating to your future postgraduate course.

Management Studies
In the preparatory term, the Management syllabus is delivered over six timetabled hours per week for Route A students; in the core and final terms the syllabus is delivered over three timetabled hours per week for Route A and B students. Management: Preparatory Term (Route A) The module helps you to understand basic ideas of managing within a changing environment. You will develop the skills necessary to study managementrelated courses at postgraduate level in a Western higher education environment.

It addresses the Quality Assurance Agency, QAA (UK) standards in developing cognitive skills, self-management, learning to learn and the ability to conduct research into management issues.

Studying at INTO Manchester has been a great help for me. The Centre offers an excellent opportunity to progress to one of the NCUK universities to do my Masters degree. Since I have been here I have been able to really improve my academic English. When I am not studying I love to hang out with my friends from all over the world. I think if you get the chance to study at INTO Manchester that nothing is impossible for you to achieve; as long as you put in the effort and work hard!

Module descriptions
Language Development The emphasis of this module is upon developing your understanding of grammar, increasing both your general and academic vocabulary, as well as improving your accuracy in spoken English. The aim is to ensure that you can communicate your thoughts clearly, both in writing and speaking. Academic Speaking and Listening Skills This module will help you develop your speaking and listening skills through topic-based discussions, seminars, lectures, reports and interviews. The focus of the module is on fluency and appropriateness for academic purposes and is designed to familiarise you with university teaching and learning styles. The aim of this module is to give you experience in identifying the key points of a particular subject and the confidence to convey your opinion appropriately. Academic Writing This module helps develop your academic writing skills through the study of sentence structure, vocabulary and academic writing conventions. By looking at different texts, you will learn how to construct a clear and logical argument within a piece of written work through appropriate organisation of your ideas, adopting a suitable writing style and taking into account the needs of the reader. You will learn about the importance of avoiding plagiarism and how to incorporate the ideas of others while using your own words. An important part of academic writing is process writing and as part of this module, you will produce written drafts with feedback from your tutor and, as your level increases, work on your writing in individual tutorials. Academic Reading and Study Skills The focus of this module is to develop essential reading and study skills for studying at university level. Through studying the organisation and structure of texts from both general and academic sources, you will develop the skills of note-taking, paraphrasing and summarising. You will also learn how to interpret and describe data from nontextual information such as graphs and tables. At all levels, you will be encouraged to react to texts by giving opinion, and as your reading skills improve you will develop critical reading skills appropriate to studying at university. Research project At the higher levels, you will be asked to work on a project which will prepare you for university-style teaching and learning methods, as well as the importance of independent study. Forming part of the overall assessment for the module, you will undertake an extended research project making use of both primary and secondary resources. Through directed self-study and tutorial classes, you will work with your teachers to identify key areas that need to be developed in order to improve the quality of your project. You will also be required to deliver a presentation on your work.

I chose to study at INTO Manchester because of its connections with top UK universities. After I have succeeded in my exams here and raised my academic English language skills to the correct level, I intend to study my masters in the UK. I have only been here for a couple of months but I am already starting to speak with more confidence. I really enjoy the class debates and discussions. Learning in an interactive atmosphere has been really beneficial for me.

Terms and conditions 1 of 2


Important 1. Application of the Terms and Conditions
a. These terms and the offer letter (together the Terms and Conditions) set out the contractual terms which apply between INTO Manchester Ltd (INTO) and students (Students) in relation to the English language courses and/or academic programmes and any other INTO courses (the Course). As such, Students should ensure they read the Terms and Conditions very carefully before signing and submitting their application for admission to INTO. To apply for a place on a Course, Students should complete their application and submit it to INTO Admissions Office. INTO may accept or reject applications in its absolute discretion. If INTO accepts the application, INTO will issue a written offer of a place on a Course to the Student (including any conditions relevant to the offer) (the Offer Letter) together with an acceptance form for the Student to confirm their acceptance of the offer of the place. In order to accept the offer, the Student must: i. complete and return to INTO the acceptance form confirming acceptance of the offer of the place indicated in the Offer Letter; ii. pay a deposit as described in the Offer Letter which will be used towards the tuition fees due for the Course. The amount of the deposit required will be shown in the Offer Letter; iii. pay the Uniplan Insurance premium (details of which are set out earlier in this brochure) and submit the completed Uniplan form to INTO or proof of alternative insurance cover. d. After completion of the actions listed in paragraph 2c above, the contract between the Student and INTO is formed. However, if the offer is conditional, the contract shall not come into force unless and until the Student meets the conditions of the Offer Letter and completes the actions listed in paragraph 2c above. The balance of the tuition fees payable for the Course and any insurance fees (if applicable) payable must be paid to INTO no later than six weeks prior to the start date of the Course (which is stated in the Offer Letter). Details of indicative course dates are included in this brochure. Tuition fees and insurance fees (if applicable) must be paid in full in pounds sterling by cheque, bankers draft, bank transfer, credit card or debit card. Payment by credit card is subject to a surcharge of 2%. If bank or credit card charges are incurred by INTO on such payments, where these charges have been incurred through no fault of INTO, these will be re-invoiced to the Students account so that INTO receives the payment in full. Tuition fee deposits are non-refundable unless the Student is unable to meet visa entry requirements (in which case the Student will be required to provide an official visa rejection letter to INTO further details of which are set out below). Any variation to standard payment terms will only be made by prior agreement in writing by the Centre Director of INTO. The prices stated in this brochure are valid for confirmed bookings (with payment) received by INTO on or after 01 January 2013 and until further notice. Please contact INTO for further details or visit the website. One to one tuition (English language only) Any Students who require 1:1 tuition must agree such tuition with the Centre in advance. Such tuition will be charged at 75 per hour and will be invoiced in advance. Text books Text books and/or appropriate Course materials will be supplied to Students enrolment on the International Foundation, A-Level, International Diploma, Graduate Diploma or English for University Study Courses. Students will be invoiced for the text books and/or appropriate Course materials immediately following receipt by INTO of the Students acceptance of the offer of a place on the Course and such invoice is payable at least six weeks before the start date of the Course. The approximate cost of text books and/or appropriate Course materials will be 170 per academic Course (2 or 3 term), 230 per academic Course (4 term), 280 per academic Course (5 term ) and 340 per academic Course (6 term) and 60 per term for the English for University Study Course. Laboratory fees Students who are enrolled on science-based academic Courses (i.e International Foundation in Science and Engineering) shall be charged an additional fee of 325 per academic year to cover the use of laboratory facilities. This fee will be invoiced to the Student immediately following receipt by INTO of the Students acceptance of the offer of a place on the Course and such invoice is payable at least six weeks before the start date of the Course. In cases of overdue payment of any of the fees owed by the Student, INTO reserves the right to suspend or cancel tuition and to charge interest on the outstanding balance. Interest will be charged on any outstanding fees at the rate of 2.5% above the base rate of Barclays Bank per month or part thereof from the date of the invoice until payment. INTO reserves the right to withhold any academic results or certificates, if fees are still owed by the Student at the end of their Course. Fees remain payable if a notice of withdrawal has not been given in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. INTO will issue a CAS, no more than 6 months before the Students first Course start date provided that: i. the Students offer is unconditional; and ii. the Student has paid their deposit or full fees as set out in the Offer Letter. b. Before issuing the CAS, INTO will confirm with the Student or the agent that the details to be included in the CAS are correct. Once the student has confirmed that the details are correct, INTO will submit the details to the UK Border Agency (UKBA). If the Student requests any changes to the information on the CAS (other than an update to the Fees paid to date information after making further payments) after INTO has submitted the details to the UKBA and a new CAS is required, the Student will be charged for each request at the then prevailing rate. At the time of going to print the cost is 13 but is subject to review.

7. Cancellation Charges
a. Subject to paragraphs 8 and 9 below, if the Student wishes to cancel their place on the Course prior to the Course commencing, then, unless such cancellation is due to visa refusals, and/or academic and/or English conditions of the Students Offer Letter not being met, the following charges apply: Academic course and English for University Study and General English programmes Tuition Fee Cancellation charges: Four weeks or more before commencement:cancellation fee of 500 Less than four weeks before commencement:cancellation fee of 1000 Accommodation Fee Cancellation charges: Four weeks or more before commencement:cancellation fee of 500 Less than four weeks before commencement:cancellation fee of 1000 b. c. Cancellations must be made in writing to INTO. Cancellations will become valid on the day the written notice is received by INTO. Cancellation charges will be deducted from the deposit and/or tuition fees paid by the Student or, if no deposit and/or tuition fees have been paid by the Student, INTO will invoice the Student for the cancellation charges. Payment shall be due within 30 days of the date of such invoice. Cancellation of a Course includes cancellation of any Uniplan Insurance policy. Students will be charged for the length of insurance cover received so far and will be refunded a proportion of the premium for the unelapsed period of cover less a 25 administration charge. If a Student wishes to withdraw from their Course, they must notify INTO in writing as described above in the section Cancellation. Once a student has arrived at the INTO Centre no course fees will be refunded if the Student withdraws. Accommodation cancellation charges will apply as outlined at paragraph 20 below. If INTO has made its offer for a place on the Course and the offer has been accepted by the Student solely by means of distance communication (i.e. if up to the point when the contract is concluded there has been no face-to-face contact between the Student and INTO or INTOs representative then the contract between us is a Distance Contract. Students are entitled to cancel a Distance Contract at any time up to the earlier of: i. 7 days from the date when the Distance Contract is concluded; or ii. the date on which the Student starts the Course. c. In order to cancel the Distance Contract, the Student must inform INTO in writing at the INTO Admissions Office, One Gloucester Place, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 4AA within the time periods set out in paragraph (b) above. If any payment has been made by the Student to INTO under these Terms and Conditions prior to the date of cancellation then a full refund will be provided by INTO using the same payment type as soon as possible but, in any event, within 30 days of receipt of the Students notification of cancellation. Students are entitled (provided such refusal / delay is not the result of any fraudulent activity) to cancel or defer a Course due to refusal or non receipt of a necessary visa providing that the Student informs the INTO Admissions Office in writing and sends evidence to INTO of the visa refusal or advises INTO that the Student has not yet received the relevant visa from the Embassy as early as possible and in any event no later than two weeks after the Students proposed Course start date (or one week for English for University Study). Cancellation charges (except for Uniplan Insurance cancellation fees which will apply as outlined above in paragraph 7d) will not be incurred in the circumstances described in paragraph (a) above provided that the Student complies with the notice requirements set out and any deposit and/or tuition fees already paid will be refunded accordingly. Failure to provide the relevant information in the timescales set out in paragraph (a) will result in normal cancellation charges applying as set out in paragraph 7 and no fees already paid will be refunded. If the visa refusal states that the visa has been refused due to any type of fraudulent activity by (or with the approval of) the Student then, notwithstanding paragraph 10b, the Student shall be liable for the greater of the 1000 cancellation charge set out in paragraph 7 and the total of all claims, damages, losses (including consequential and indirect losses) and expenses incurred as a result of such fraud and the need to comply with any associated internal or external investigation. INTOs offer to the Student is conditional upon the Student meeting the requirements set out in the Offer Letter. INTO reserves the right to withdraw its offer to the Student if the requirements of the Offer Letter are not met. If a Student does not meet the conditions of the Offer Letter (Academic or English), provided that the Student informs INTO in writing and sends evidence that the conditions have not been met as early as possible but at least four weeks before the Course start date, no cancellation charges will be payable by the Student to INTO. This information must arrive at the INTO Admissions Office in the UK no later than four weeks before the Course start date or the day after the Students exam results are published (if this falls after the four week cut off point). If INTO receives the relevant information (including evidence of the date of publication of the results if this falls after the four week cut off point) within the time lines outlined above, any deposits/fees already paid (minus the Uniplan Insurance cancellation fees as outlined above in paragraph 7d) will be refunded by INTO to the Student. Failure to do this will result in normal cancellation charges applying (as set out above) and no fees will be refunded. A Student may defer the start of a Course if the Student has been prevented by external events from starting the Course, up to a maximum of two occasions. An external event includes (without limitation) serious illness or injury of the Student or of a close member of the Students family. Students must ensure that any request to defer is accompanied by a full explanation of the reasons for the request, is presented in writing and reaches the INTO Admissions Office in the UK at least four weeks before the Course start date. If INTO receives the request after this date, normal cancellation charges will apply (see the Cancellations Charges section above). The request should also include details of the Students preferred new start date for the Course.

c. d.

All deferrals are subject to the availability of the requested chosen new Course start date at the time INTO receives the Students request to defer. Any deferral requests in excess of the two occasions referred to above will be considered by the INTO Admissions Office on a case-by-case basis and acceptance of a deferral request will be at the INTO Admissions Offices sole discretion. On the basis that a new CAS will need to be issued if a request to defer is successful, the Student will be charged the fee in respect of the new CAS (as described in paragraph 6c above). Student accommodation will need to be re-booked and is subject to availability. If the reason for deferral is due to visa refusal, the provisions set out under section 10 above shall apply. Students are accepted onto the Course on the strict understanding that progression through the Course and successful completion of the Course are conditional upon satisfactory attendance and successful attainment of specified progression grades. Students are accepted onto the Course on the strict understanding that they attend all classes. By signing the application form, the Student accepts that if they fail to attend classes without good reason, or without the permission of the Programme Manager for the Course, they may be deemed to have withdrawn or be required to leave the Course. During the Course induction all Students will be made aware of the criteria for successful completion of the Course. The assessment of student performance may take into consideration coursework, internal centre examination results, attendance, effort in class and homework. Students who do not meet the academic and/or any other attainment criteria for successful completion will not be allowed to proceed with their intended study plan. In such cases, Students will be offered advice on suitable alternative study options. Students who do not meet the attainment criteria for progression from an English language programme to their intended Course of study (including Extended courses) will be offered advice on alternative study plans which may include further study on the English language Course. In some cases, an alternative study plan may involve additional time and expenditure with regard to tuition and accommodation fees. For the Foundation and Diploma Courses, Students may be required to resit certain elements in order to achieve a pass grade. For the Graduate Diploma Course this is not possible. Students will be informed of the need to re-sit as soon as examination results are confirmed and this will involve additional costs in tuition and accommodation. For the Foundation, which starts in September 2013, the resit period is 28 July 2013 to 9 August 2014. For the Foundation, which starts in January 2014, the resit period is June 2015. For the Diploma, which starts in September 2013, the resit period is 28 July 2014 to 13 August 2014. For the Diploma, which starts in January 2014, the resit period is June 2015.

If, however, the results from the tests and assessment procedures on arrival provide clear evidence that a Students actual level of English language proficiency is significantly lower than claimed and lower than that required for their designated Course or for visa entry purposes, then the Student will be formally advised of the results and of their options. In these cases, Students will not be allowed to proceed with their original Course and will be advised as to possible alternatives. Such alternatives may include: i. an alternative study plan which may involve additional time and expenditure with regard to tuition and accommodation fees; or ii. if the English Language level is below the level for visa entry purposes then the Student will have to return home.

If the Student has welfare and/or pastoral problems or concerns, the Student should in the first instance refer to the INTO Manchester Student Welfare policy or contact the INTO Manchester Welfare Officer. For all Courses, classes will normally be held Monday to Friday between the hours of 08:00 and 18:30 but INTO reserves the right to hold classes outside of these times. The maximum class size is normally 16 students for English for University Study and 20 students for English language modules on academic Courses. However, where appropriate, classes may be combined for university style lectures. Lessons will take place in the form of classes, seminars and workshops. Class sizes will vary depending on the learning format (e.g. lecture, seminar, lab practicals). Examinations may be held in the evening, on weekends and public holidays. No regular classes will take place at INTO on recognised public holidays in England. Please refer to the Fees page in the INTO Manchester brochure for exact dates. No refunds will be made for classes not taking place on these dates. On occasion examinations may be held on these dates. Term dates relevant to individual Courses are published in this brochure and no classes will take place outside these dates. Students who successfully complete the INTO Foundation course may, at INTOs sole discretion receive a refund of all tuition fees paid if, having complied with INTO staff advice with regard to their university application, they have not been offered a place at a UK university on a course appropriate to their qualification. Students who successfully complete the INTO Foundation, Diploma or Graduate Diploma programme and who meet the individual entry requirements of the relevant NCUK owner or partner University for their chosen degree will be permitted to progress onto their course provided they have received a conditional offer and met the terms of that offer and any other University entry requirements.

19. Arrivals
a. Students must meet any minimum age requirements listed under the appropriate course key facts section of the brochure Students must arrive at the Centre on the Saturday or Sunday before the Course start date and register and enrol on the published start date. Late arrivals INTO expects all Students to arrive and start their Course on the scheduled start date. However, INTO recognises that Students are sometimes delayed for unavoidable reasons (these would include, for example, cancellation of or delays to flights or other transport). In exceptional cases, INTO will allow Students to arrive up to two weeks after the published start date for academic Courses and up to one week late on English language Courses. All late arrivals must be approved in advance by the Centre Director of INTO as soon as the Student becomes aware that he or she will not arrive in time for the scheduled start date. If, due to late arrival, a new CAS has to be issued, there will be a charge for the issuing of the new CAS (as set out in paragraph 6c above). No discount or refund of fees will be given for late arrivals. At the time of application to the Course, Students are invited to select their preferred accommodation. INTO aims to provide the accommodation as requested but, if this is not available, INTO reserves the right to provide an alternative type of accommodation. This will be charged at the published rate for such accommodation as set out on the Fees page within this brochure. Accommodation is allocated as per the instructions on the application form and upon receipt of the signed copy of the Students Acceptance Form and payment of the appropriate accommodation deposit (as evidenced by the Students invoice). Students will be sent a draft/sample copy of the accommodation contract with their Offer Letter and are required to sign an Accommodation Acceptance Form to acknowledge their acceptance of the conditions of the accommodation contract when returning their confirmation documents and deposit. The accommodation deposit is described in the Offer Letter. Accommodation is guaranteed once the deposit has been paid, the student has returned the signed Accommodation Acceptance Form, and the Student has received confirmation that the room they have requested is available. INTO accommodation is only available to Students who are registered on fulltime INTO Courses. Accommodation is not available to family members of Students (unless they are also registered on full-time Courses at INTO). INTO advises Students to insure their personal belongings. INTO shall have no liability for any loss, theft and/or damage to Students personal belongings. INTO can provide details of insurance policies on request. Where a Course spans a holiday period accommodation will still be charged for those periods. Damage and Sundry expenses deposit All Students will be required to pay a damage and sundry expenses deposit of 500 which will be invoiced at the time of booking their course and shall be payable at least six weeks prior to the start date of the Course. Such deposit is refundable at the end of the Course minus any costs for any damages, exceptional cleaning or fines which have been incurred either to the residential/homestay accommodation or to the premises and/or facilities of INTO which are discovered during occupancy or once an inspection has taken place after the Students departure. INTO will repay any monies owing within 60 days of the Students final Course end date. Breakages Students are responsible for payment of any damage caused by them to property owned or occupied by the University or INTO. Students in residential accommodation may be required to sign an inventory on arrival and departure. INTO reserves the right to recover costs for damage or exceptional cleaning from Students. Any damage which requires repairs and/or exceptional cleaning which occurs whilst the Student is living in the property or is required following the Students departure will be charged to the Student separately at the going rate. Such amounts will be deducted from the deposit payable by the Student as set out in paragraph 20i above. If the amount due is in excess of the deposit paid by the Student, INTO will invoice the Student for the excess amount. The Student shall pay any such amounts to INTO within 30 days of the date of the invoice. The damage and sundry expenses deposit is to cover outstanding damages and repairs once the Student has vacated the property and/or any fines or damage charges incurred during the study period remaining unpaid at the time of the Students departure. All accommodation fees for the entire duration of the accommodation booked must be paid in full in pounds sterling by cheque, bankers draft, bank transfer, credit or debit card at least six weeks prior to the start date of the Course. Payment by credit card is subject to a surcharge of 2%. Residential/Homestay Accommodation In all cases except visa refusals, Students who wish to cancel their accommodation booking will be subject to the cancellation fees as set out in the copy of the accommodation contract they will have received with their Offer Letter. Students are bound by the terms and conditions of their accommodation contract upon the signing of the accommodation contract or once the Student arrives and moves into the residential/homestay accommodation whichever the earlier. Full accommodation charges will apply during any notice period as outlined in the accommodation contract. No change to the type of accommodation arrangements will be made without the written permission of the Head of Student Services or the Centre Director of INTO. This permission will only be given in exceptional circumstances. If a Student makes a change to his/her accommodation arrangements or leaves accommodation provided by INTO without the prior written consent of the Centre Director, the Student shall remain liable for the full accommodation payments invoiced or reserved at the time of confirmation. Where a Student is moving to private accommodation, the Students parent or guardian must certify to INTO that this is the case and that the provision of accommodation by INTO is no longer required. For the avoidance of doubt the Student shall remain liable for the full accommodation payments invoiced or reserved at the time of confirmation in respect of the vacated property. Residential accommodation is not always available over the two week Christmas period to Students who are under 18 years old. Alternative arrangements may be made by individual agreement at the time of booking and will incur a supplementary charge of up to 200 per week. d. e. f.

23. Airport pickups


a. Airport pickups may be booked as specified earlier in this brochure. The Airport pickup will be for the passenger named on the application form only or for named Students if Students agree in advance (and notify INTO) that they wish to share an airport pickup. Additional family members or chaperones accompanying the named passenger will be charged additional fees. The first 30 minutes of waiting time is included in the fee as specified in this brochure. Additional fees may apply for waiting periods longer than 30 minutes. Fees will only be refunded for missed pickups if the Student informs INTO, by telephoning the INTO emergency telephone number (as publicised in the predeparture guide), that their pickup will not be required or will be delayed before they leave the departure airport, or if they have arrived at their destination airport and the transfer is a no show, they telephone the INTO emergency telephone number (as publicised in the pre-departure guide), that their transfer is a no show before they leave the arrival airport. Airport transfer fees must be paid for at the time of booking. Airport pickups are compulsory for students under 18, unless parents provide INTO with evidence that they have made alternative arrangements for the collection of their child from the UK entry airport. A similar compulsory delivery of students under 18 to their departure airport applies. INTO expects Students to assist INTO with its Green Travel Plan, as maybe reasonably required. Students may not bring cars to campus unless otherwise agreed in advance by INTO. Please contact INTO for further details of our Green Travel plan. INTO Manchester is required to keep a copy of Students passport, identity card for foreign nationals or United Kingdom immigration status document and Students contact details. Under the TIER 4 Immigration rules (PBS) INTO will report to the UKBA in the following circumstances: i. if the Student fails to enrol on the Course within the enrolment period; ii. if the Student misses 10 expected contacts without INTOs permission; iii. if INTO stops being the Students immigration sponsor for any other reason, for example, if the Student moves into an immigration category that does not need an approved education provider; iv. if there are any significant changes in the Students circumstances, for example, if the length of a course of study becomes shorter; or v. if INTO has any suspicions that the Student is breaking any conditions attached to their permission.

f.

INTO will process personal information provided to it by Students in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and any other applicable data protection legislation. For further information about how INTO handles and uses personal data please see INTOs Privacy Policy which can be viewed at www.intohigher. com/uk/en-gb/footer/legal-and-privacy.aspx. INTO will only use the personal information provided to it by students in order to provide and administer the course. Students acknowledge and agree that by providing their personal details, INTO may also pass their personal data to external agencies or other selected third parties for the purposes of seeking participation in student surveys, undertaking academic audits or ensuring compliance with INTOs regulatory responsibilities. For further information about how INTO uses personal data relating to students please refer to paragraph 28f. Subject to the following, INTO (including its staff and/or representatives) shall have no liability to the Student for any loss, damage, costs or expenses arising under or in connection with these Terms and Conditions except where such loss or damage is directly caused by INTO (or its staff or representatives). Where such loss or damage is directly caused by INTO (or its staff or representatives), INTOs liability shall, subject to the following, be limited to 150% of all fees paid or payable by the Student to INTO. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions shall exclude or restrict INTOs liability for death or personal injury resulting from its negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation or in any other circumstances where liability may not be so limited under any applicable law. INTO shall have no liability for failure or delay to supply the Course and/or any service contemplated by these Terms and Conditions due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. This brochure is prepared in advance of the academic year to which it relates. The information is correct at the time of going to press (November 2012) and the programmes, Courses and services described herein are those which INTO is planning to offer. However, INTO reserves the right, to amend, add or remove any programmes, Course and/or services set out in this brochure and/ or the timetable, delivery, content syllabus and assessment of such Courses. INTO therefore strongly recommends that immediately prior to making any application INTO or accepting any offer from INTO Students should refer to the most up-to-date version of the Course descriptions and specifications and the regulations on INTO website. INTO also reserves the right to make variations to the contents and methods of delivery of the programmes, Courses and services, to discontinue programmes, Courses and services, and to combine and merge programmes and Courses, if such action is reasonably considered to be necessary by INTO. Applicants to INTO programmes and Courses will be notified as soon as practicable of any material changes likely to have a bearing on their application, such as cancellation of, or major modification to programmes and Courses offered, changes to accommodation provision or fees and charges to be levied by the University. INTO in marketing its programmes aims to comply with the British Code of Advertising Practice issued by the Advertising Standards Authority. Applications to universities for undergraduate or postgraduate courses are governed solely by the applicable terms and conditions of that university, and not by these Terms and Conditions. INTO operates an equal opportunities admissions policy. It aims to ensure that no applicant will receive less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, sex, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or political or religious belief. INTO welcomes applications from candidates with disabilities. These Terms and Conditions and the Offer Letter constitute the entire agreement between INTO and the Student for the provision of English language Courses and/or academic Courses and any other INTO Course. These Terms and Conditions supersede any promises, representations, warranties whether written or oral made by or on behalf of one party to the other. INTO reserves the right to vary these Terms and Conditions without the consent of the Student at any time prior to entering into a contract with the Student. In such circumstances, INTO will provide a revised set of Terms and Conditions. INTO may assign, transfer, or sub-contract in whole or in part some or all of the benefit and/or burden of these Terms and Conditions. If any court or competent authority finds that any provision of these Terms and Conditions (or part of any provision) are invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed to be deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions shall not be affected. The formation, existence, construction, performance, validity and any dispute (including non-contractual disputes) arising out of or in connection with the subject matter or formation of these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. The English Courts will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any disputes (including any non-contractual disputes) which may arise out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions. Students and INTO agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.

26. Medical treatment and accident insurance


a. Acceptance by the Student (or by his/her parent or legal guardian if the Student is under 18), of a place to study at INTO Manchester indicates that the Student (or parent/legal guardian if the Student is under 18): i. gives permission for the administration of first aid and appropriate nonprescription medication to the Student if required; and ii. if the Student is under 18, for INTO to recommend that the Student seeks medical, dental or optical treatment when required. b. All Students must maintain a valid and comprehensive medical and accident insurance policy for the duration of their stay. Students unable to provide evidence of adequate cover at the time of their application are required to take up the Uniplan Insurance cover as a condition of enrolment. INTO strongly recommends that parents appoint a UK based guardian for international Students under 18 years of age. If parents are making their own arrangements for either guardianship services or a friend or family member in the UK to act as guardian to the Student, then evidence of these guardianship arrangements must be supplied before the Course commences. Parents of Students under 18 must sign a consent form authorising nominated INTO staff to act (on behalf of the parent) in the case of an emergency. They must also complete a medical information form. Both forms will be included with the INTO offer documents and must be completed and returned to INTO at the confirmation stage. Confirmation documents will not be issued unless these forms are returned. Failure to return these forms could result in a Certificate of Acceptance for Studies not being issued. In the case of Students under 18, any reference in these Terms and Conditions to liability of Students shall also infer liability on the parents or guardian of the Student and such liability is joint and several. Students agree that copies of their regular reports on their academic progress and performance can be supplied to parents, sponsors or agents without notification. Consent is hereby given by the Student to the above until formally withdrawn in writing. Students agree that if INTO has serious concerns about their welfare, INTO can contact their parents or family members without notification. Consent is hereby given by the Student to the above until formally withdrawn in writing. Students and, if the Student is under 18, the Students parents/guardians/ sponsors hereby consent that the Students records and achievements, images and sound may be used for promotional purposes. Such consent to remain in force until formally withdrawn in writing. INTO is obliged to report visa status, attendance records and UK contact details to relevant UK government bodies and will do so in accordance with its legal obligations under relevant legislation (including under the Data Protection Act 1998). INTO may disclose information about the Students for the purposes of (without limitation): i. the administration of justice; ii. the exercise of any functions of either House of Parliament; iii. the exercise of any functions conferred on any person by or under any enactment; iv. the exercise of any functions of the Crown, a Minister of the Crown or a government department; and/or v. the exercise of any other functions of a public nature exercised in the public interest by any person i.e. necessary for legitimate purposes and justified by the Data Protection Act.

Dates and Prices | Scholarships

The scholarship provided by INTO Manchester helped me in many ways. I would have struggled to have had a fully rounded experience abroad had I not been awarded the scholarship. It allowed me to gain more spending money on a day to day basis providing me to experience Manchester and all it has to provide. I got to travel around England more, see places I have always wanted to see and experience things I wouldnt have normally tried to. I am highly appreciative that I was provided this scholarship.
