(Asking for Advice) Target to Non Target

Hello all,

I'm currently enrolled as an undergraduate in a target school in the UK but I'll need to leave at the end of my 1st year back to my home country since I need to be close to my family due to health reasons. I'm expecting a first.

Do I have any chance when applying to London IB jobs in the future, considering I was in a target school and managed to get a first in my first year? Visa not a problem

Not in the UK but rarely familiar with the process. The key in your situation is to get a spring week. If you can get a spring week your first year then your change in schools won’t matter as much. 

 

Not entirely true, if they convert the spring week into a summer internship its unlikely the BB/EB will let them delay when they do the summer (almost always needs to be penultimate summer so they can recruit for FT next year).

 

This comment makes no sense. They’re transferring, not repeating a year of school. They will graduate at the same time they were planning to. 

 

Even if it is a school in other country? (good european school but not a target)
