Programmes

University degrees are offered at three successive levels — bachelor's, master's, and doctoral — with the completion of a degree from the lower level generally a prerequisite for admission to the next.

Students at the baccalaureate, or bachelor's, level are known as undergraduates. Completion of a secondary-school program, or the two-year CÉGEP program in the case of Quebec, is the normal prerequisite for admission to undergraduate study. Most universities also have special entrance requirements and paths for mature students.

Bachelor's degrees normally require three or four years of full-time study, depending on the province. An honours bachelor's degree involves a higher degree of concentration in the major subject, as well as a higher level of academic achievement, and, in some cases, an additional year of study.

For regulated professions such as law, medicine, education, and social work, an internship is generally required and, in some cases, additional years of formal study.

A master's degree typically requires two years of study after completion of either a general or an honours baccalaureate program.

A minimum of three years of study and research, including the completion of a dissertation, are the normal requirements for a doctorate. The degree is generally known as a PhD; however, doctoral degrees may also be granted in particular fields of study such as music (DMus) or law (LLD).

University colleges undertake degree programs as their primary activity and provide bachelor's degrees. A few also provide master's degrees with an applied focus.

Many universities and university colleges also offer diploma and certificate programs, often in professional designations. Generally speaking, university diplomas and certificates require one or two years of study. However, these programs vary widely from institution to institution and from province to province.

Universities offer students more than courses and programs; they also provide services and resources. Counselling, study-skills workshops, career-placement centres, scholarships and bursaries, athletics, housing, and additional services are available on most campuses. Many universities also have special services for students with specific needs, including those with physical, sensory, or learning disabilities.

Many programs include cooperative education or work-study components, which alternate academic studies with full-time, off campus employment related to the student's field of study.

UK National Insurance

National Insurance if you go abroad

You might be able to pay UK National Insurance while you’re working abroad, depending on where you’re working and how long for.

You’ll protect your State Pension and entitlement to other benefits and allowances if you keep paying National Insurance while you’re abroad.

Working in Europe

If you work for an employer in an EEA country or Switzerland, you’ll normally pay social security contributions in that country instead of UK National Insurance. This means:

• you’ll be covered by that country’s social security laws and may be entitled to benefits there
• your entitlement to benefits in the UK (eg State Pension) may be affected as there’ll be a gap in your National Insurance contributions

If your UK employer sends you to work abroad temporarily (for up to 2 years) you might have to carry on paying National Insurance - you won’t have to pay social security contributions abroad. Ask your employer if this applies to you.
You may still get free or reduced cost medical treatment in the country where you’re working.

If you’re self-employed

You may have to carry on paying National Insurance if you’re:

• usually self-employed in the UK
• working abroad temporarily (for up to 2 years)

If you are, you won’t have to pay social security contributions in the country where you’re working.
Fill in form CA3837 and send it to the address on the form.

Working in countries with bilateral Social Security agreements

If you start working for an employer in a country with a Reciprocal Agreement or Double Contribution Convention (sometimes called ‘bilateral Social Security agreements’), you’ll usually pay social security contributions in that country instead of UK National Insurance.
These countries are:
Barbados, Bermuda, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Canada, Croatia, Guernsey, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Jersey, the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia, Mauritius, Montenegro, New Zealand, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Serbia, Turkey, USA.
You may have to continue paying contributions to the UK instead of the country you’re posted to if you’re sent there temporarily by your UK employer. Your employer will tell you if you qualify and give you the forms you need.
This may affect your entitlement to healthcare and other benefits - ask your employer for more details.

If you’re self-employed

You may be able to carry on paying UK National Insurance if you’re:

• usually self-employed in the UK
• working abroad temporarily

If you do, you won’t have to pay social security contributions in the country where you’re working.
Contact HMRC for form CA9107.

Working in any other country

You’ll carry on paying UK National Insurance for the first 52 weeks you’re abroad if you’re working for an employer outside the EEA, Switzerland and bilateral Social Security agreement countries, and you meet the following 3 conditions:

• your employer has a place of business in the UK
• you’re ordinarily resident in the UK
• you were living in the UK immediately before starting work abroad

If you’re self-employed

You don’t need to pay Class 2 National Insurance, but you can carry on paying it if you want to protect your State Pension and benefit entitlement, as long as you meet certain conditions. Contact HMRC to find out if you’re eligible.

If you work for the UK government or armed forces

You’ll usually pay UK National Insurance if you’re working abroad and you’re one of the following:

• a UK civil servant or other government worker
• working in an embassy, consular post or diplomatic mission - or working for someone who does
• working for HM Armed Forces

Voluntary contributions

If you’re eligible you can pay voluntary National Insurance contributions that go towards your State Pension and certain benefits and allowances if you return to the UK.

Voluntary National Insurance contributions paid from abroad don’t cover your health insurance in the country where you live.

Apply to pay voluntary National Insurance

Contact HMRC if you want to check your eligibility.
Fill in form CF83 and send it back to HMRC using the address on the form.

Youth Crime Prevention UK

 Youth Crime Prevention Program

1. Overview

There are various prevention programmes that work to keep young people away from crime. They are run within local communities, and can involve parents and families.

Young people are placed on these programmes if:

•     they have been in trouble with the police
•     they’re ‘at risk’ of committing a crime
•     they’re involved in anti-social behaviour

Attending one of these programmes is voluntary. The young person and their parents or carers have to be happy with everything before it starts.

Many programmes are run by the council’s local youth offending team or by other local organisations like youth charities.

To find out about youth crime prevention programmes in your area, contact your local youth offending team.

2. How young people are put on a programme

Young people are usually sent - or ‘referred’ - to one of these programmes by the police or the youth offending team.

However, they can also be referred by a teacher, social worker or parent.
Assessment - making sure it’s the right programme

Before anything happens, the youth workers running the prevention programme will assess the young person to:

•     make sure a prevention programme will help
•     decide which type of support will be most suitable

The young person will be involved in the assessment and will be asked questions about their life and background.

3. What these programmes are and how they work

Youth crime prevention programmes have different names and do different things, but they all involve activities to help keep young people away from crime. Young people can also learn new skills or get advice about school or jobs.

Some are run in groups while others are for just one young person supervised by an adult.

Two of the main prevention programmes are ‘youth inclusion programmes’ and ‘youth inclusion and support panels’, although there are many others.
Youth inclusion programmes

These are for 8 to 17 year-olds and usually last for set lengths of time, eg 6 months. Sometimes a young person can attend for longer if they need to, if they find the activities helpful.
Youth inclusion and support panels

These panels - made up of people like local youth or social workers - work with 8 to 13 year-olds to make sure they get access to local services that will help them stay out of trouble. These services could be things like getting extra help at school, or treatment for health or mental health problems.

Both these programmes use something called an ‘intervention plan’ that everyone must agree on, including the young person and their family. This plan describes what the young person is expected to do, as well as what support the young person will get.

Young people can also be mentored, and sometimes their families can also be involved.

4. Mentoring

A mentor is a specially trained volunteer who spends time helping someone.

They can help a young person with things like:

    doing better at school
    coping with bullying
    applying for jobs or colleges

Sometimes this personal help can be more effective than sending a young person on a group activity. A mentoring programme doesn’t usually have a set time limit - a young person can be mentored for as long as is helpful.

Mentors are not connected to the police or a school.

5. Involving parents and families

Usually, parents and families will be involved in helping a young person on a crime prevention programme. This could mean anything from attending classes with their child, to just making sure the young person does what they are asked.
Parenting programmes

If a young person gets into trouble with the law, their parents or carers might be asked to go on a parenting programme. Usually, they will be asked to attend voluntarily, but sometimes they will have to go.

This can be part of a youth crime prevention programme, and sometimes it will be separate.

How these programmes work will change from person to person, and will be planned in a way that’s right for the young person and their family. They could involve:

•     improving parenting skills
•     making sure nothing at home is causing the young person to commit crime
