Country Codes, IDD and NDD prefixes

Country Code
The country code should be used when dialing to that particular country from another country. In some cases, you will also need to dial a city or area code. When a country name appears in the table, there will be additional information regarding city or area codes.

IDD Prefix (International Direct Dialing)
The IDD prefix is the access code needed to dial a call from the country listed to another country. This is followed by the country code for the country you are calling.

NDD Prefix (National Direct Dialing)
The NDD prefix is the access code used to make a call within that country from one city to another. When calling another city in the same vicinity, this may not be necessary. The NDD is followed by the city/area code for the place you are calling, where applicable.

Phone numbers are often written in this format: +44-(0)1224-XXXX-XXXX. The +44 indicates the country code, while (0) indicates the NDD. When dialing from outside the country, the NDD would not be used after dialing the country code; when dialing from within that country, the NDD would be used, but the country code would not.

Coventry University

How to Find Us
Coventry University covers 33 acres right in the heart of Coventry City centre, with Coventry University Performing Arts just a few miles away. The campus is easily reached by road, rail, or air.

Car Parking
Car parking spaces are very limited at the University itself. Ask the member of staff you are visiting whether it is possible to reserve a visitor's car parking space for you in one of the University car parks. If not, there are a number of public car parks located close to the University.

Emergency
In an emergency you can call the University Reception on 024 76 838774 during office hours. The main University switchboard number is 024 76 631313 (24 hours).

Where is Coventry University?
Coventry University's modern, purpose-built campus covers 33 acres of ground in the centre of Coventry. Improvements are constantly being carried out to ensure that the working environment is as pleasant and as welcoming as possible.

The campus' location at the hub of the City means you can enjoy the benefits of being close to shops, banks, the main bus station and the railway station. Because the University is contained on one campus, you will not have to waste time travelling between lectures, and you will soon start to recognise the same faces every day.

But do not just take our word for it--you are welcome to come and take a look around, either on one of the open days or on an informal visit at any time to get a glimpse of campus life.

History
Coventry University has a long tradition as a provider of education. It can trace its roots as far back as Coventry College of Design in 1843. It was in 1970 that Coventry College of Art amalgamated with Lanchester College of Technology and Rugby College of Engineering Technology. The resulting institution was called Lanchester Polytechnic. In 1987, the name was changed to Coventry Polytechnic. In 1992, we adopted the title Coventry University.

Questions 34-40: Write TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN.

Studying in the UK - Why is Britain now home to over a quarter of a million international students?

A
Students come to study in the UK from all over the world, from over 180 countries--the European Union, Australia and New Zealand, the USA, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Far East, South America. Some British universities have students from 100 countries. There are currently more than 270,000 international students in the UK. Of that number, about 75 per cent are on education courses, with 130,500 studying full-time undergraduate courses.

B
Why do they come to UK universities? First, because they gain a high-quality qualification that is recognised worldwide. Thousands of international students have used their UK qualifications to get a good job. Second, if English is not their mother tongue, they will probably be completely fluent by the time they graduate. One other reason for studying in Britain is the ease of the UK application system. Instead of applying to several different universities or colleges, taking their admissions tests and paying their application fees, students can do it all on one form. They may choose up to six courses by sending the form to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), which deals with the applications for them. If the students' schools, college or nearest British Council offices have access to the system, they can even complete the form electronically through the Internet.

C
It's a big decision to study a long way from home. But students can be sure of plenty of support in the UK. Universities and colleges look after their students. There are personal tutors, counsellors, study skills counsellors and financial advisers to help with any problems. There are also chaplains or representatives of major religions. In addition, there are medical services, and if a course lasts for more than six months, students are entitled to free medical care under the National Health Service. All students may use these services. However, many institutions also have international student advisers. Students can contact them with any questions before they come; they will probably arrange a transport service from major airports for arriving students and will organise welcoming events. International students can also go to see them at any time during their courses. For students with families, child-care facilities are often provided at reasonable cost. It's not compulsory to use any of these services. If a student is independent and has no problems, they won't come knocking on his or her door.

D
Campuses are safe places to live, as in general are most UK towns. As with anywhere else, there are areas in some cities best avoided after dark, but you will be advised on this. Universities and colleges make sure student residences are secure, and at most places transport is provided at night for women students.

E
Students will be able to take part in a range of social and sporting activities. There are team and individual sports at all levels; and clubs and societies to cover any interest from drama to politics, water sports to backgammon, debating to voluntary social work. The students unions arrange discos and gigs, and run pubs, bars and eating places. Clubs are run by students for students and are always well advertised at the beginning of the academic year. Joining one or two societies is a great way to meet other students from Britain and other countries.

F
There are thousands of courses to choose from. Some students choose a vocational one. Agriculture and related subjects, engineering, law and business studies are popular with international students. Others choose an academic subject such as history or politics. The choice is virtually unlimited. And what do international students do at the end of their courses? Some stay on to do postgraduate work. To get into a good university they need A-level qualifications. If a student's English is not yet quite good enough to enrol in a degree course, he or she might like to spend some time first on an English language course. There are plenty to choose from--some held in universities and colleges, some in private language schools. The British Council can offer advice on choosing the right one. Some students may need some additional academic qualifications. In such cases a student can consider taking a foundation or access course, run by many of Britain's higher education institutions.

G
Fees may look high at first, but when one takes the following points into account, costs at UK universities and colleges compare well with costs in other English-speaking countries. Most UK courses are at least one year shorter than those in other countries. Included in the course fee are: All tuition (except books and equipment); normally, free use of computing facilities, e-mail and Internet; language tuition if one wants to learn another language (and English-language support if needed); use of free or cheap sports facilities; and a student would not be paying simply to attend lectures. Much teaching will be done in small groups. In addition, teaching staff is willing to provide extra help if a student needs it and the student can go to see them outside timetabled course hours.

H
In conclusion, there are several key benefits to studying in the UK. Firstly, standards in UK higher institutions are generally higher than others, and a student will gain an internationally recognised qualification. Secondly, a student will meet students from all over the world, and get a head start in building international connections. Thirdly, most universities and colleges provide accommodation for first-year international students and a variety of other services that are not provided to international students in many other English-speaking countries. Finally, the application system is simple, saving the cumbersome processes required by many other countries.
