Channel to wider horizons

Article Abstract:

As part of the constant move to integrate the nations belonging to the European Union (EU) a new initiative has been started, in which UK based professors teach international relations in Lille, France and in Brussels, Belgium. The students taking the courses benefit from improving their language skills and in developing a greater understanding of different cultures. Students from the UK should be aware of the increasingly competitive market particularly for those with linguistic skills. Some 14% of students studying at the University of Kent are from EU nations.

Article Abstract:

Many older home and car owners could obtain much lower insurance premiums if they took the trouble to seek the most competitive deals. It is worth going to a specialist provider, such as Age Concern Insurance Services, which now has 400,000 customers. Some insurers are also offering discounts for people who have not yet reached the official retirement age.
