Studying engineering (and don't know which school in UK to apply to)

Studying engineering (and don't know which school in UK to apply to)?
Can anyone recommend a school for me, I am looking to study abroad at a school in the UK, most likely in Scotland, vs. London or anywhere in England. Others have suggested The University of Aberdeen and the University of Bath, but without thinking; these can't possibly be easy schools to get into, can they? So can anyone recommend some schools that are less competitive and will be more likely to accept a student with a fair amount of average, grades some of my grades are very good just not all of them. CURIOUS: What other schools are there that are: In Scotland and accept students with medium (not perfect ) grades and offer engineering?

At the moment in the UK all universities are a bit hard to get into from what I can tell, but try Glamorgan Uni, lots of people in Cardiff study there as its not as competitive as Cardiff University is.

Does anyone know what requirements school librarians need in the UK?
I want to go back to school(after I've gotten my BA in teaching) for my master's in Librarian Sciences. I am going to school in Texas, but would like to know what the requirements are for librarians in the UK. Also does anyone know how much primary school librarians make in the UK? Thank you!

Looks like you may need a Masters Degree according to my research. Not sure on the salary of a UK librarian, not sure I know anyone who is one.

could anyone provide me with detailed description of high school education in the UK please

could anyone provide me with detailed description of high school education in the UK please?
Such as the requirements of high school diploma, programs offered; are there AP programs there, or only IB and A level? Thank you AP program is advanced placement program, a series of vigorous courses. It is very popular in the U.S. and can be considered as equivalence of the IB program.

High school in the UK is called college. We have qualifications called : NVQ - National vocational diploma (work based learning, with a recognised qualification at the end of it) A Level - a 2 year long course that is marked as total 70% for your coursework and 30% for a final exam. (coursework being papers and essays written over the course) A/S level - half of a A level essentially, if you only do a year and pass up to certain standard (A-E, F being fail) BTEC - qualifications are undertaken in vocational subjects ranging from Business to Animal Care. They have an equivalence to other qualifications such as the A Level but a particular difference is that they tend to be based on practical work or coursework rather than timed examinations. any qualifications past that are from university. I would be happy advise you on such qualifications

Colleges exist for post-16 study (mainly skill-related), but the majority of UK students choose to stay on at school after 16 to do their A-levels. Some secondary schools (11-18, usually) also offer NVQ courses. A-levels are required for entrance to UK universities. They are offered in a wide range of subjects. Most students take 3 or 4 A-levels, after 2 years of study (from 16 - 18). At 16 students take GCSE exams, in any number of subjects (9 or 10 is most usual for capable students). Their GCSE results determine whether they can take A-levels in a particular subject or, in the case of a student who fails or gains very poor grades in GCSEs, whether they can do A-levels at all. A very, very, very few schools (mainly private) offer the International Baccaleureate. It is not a commonly-taken qualification in the UK. I don't know what you mean by AP.
