Well said DT, I take ur point but let me tell u that the that all the foriegn universities are now opting for a Multicultrul approach so that they can people from diverse environments and make them sit under roof to impart education to what would be a true international batch. So when an applicant from Pakistan with a LUMS or IBA applies in a foriegn university, they look upon it as they will look upon a Harvard or Wharton graduate if someone applies from US. I mean the best available in Pakistan are these both schools. Secondly, U r very much right in making ur point about internship in UK, as u said its a hard ask.... truely so... but i was just advicing her on the basis of relative advantage of having been an ACCA affiliate rather than ACA.. it was just that... otherwise i respect ur opinion and u right in ur point.
Thanks for bearing my bore opinion and its really a healthy feeling to see people like u argumenting to improve someone's career.... thanx for being here for us
Your's Truely

Umair, I totally agree with you and already know that all 'redbrick' universities and other universities have decided to have a 'good' representation of international students. This is for couple of reasons which I wouldn't go into much details at this moment. Therefore, to get admission in 'redbrick' universities these days are not a big problem provided you have grades/marks that match their requirements and that you can provide evidence of financing your whole education (either privately or combination of self + scholarship etc)
However, the real problem lies when you try to enter the job market and this is what I was mentioning in my last responce. E.g. if you happen to be studying at Oxford even then your job prospects, especially if you are international, are not 100%. Because, as I said in my last responce, that the first priority is for UK nationals, then EU nationals and then the international bunch of graduates. It is not the policy of employers but rather is a law by the government of the UK.
A similar policy is adopted in US, where the first priority is for US nationals and than foreingers.
