A Chinese HS gradute is planning to take her BS NUrsing in the Philippines..Any pre-requisite?
I'm a Chinese who has just graduated from my Secondary course. I'm planning to take my BS Nursing in the Philippines. Now, Im taking IELTS in preparation for my English test in January.Are there any pre requisites to study this course in the Philippines? Do I need to study the Filipino language? I have a Filipino friend teaching here in China, but her home city is far from the capital city. Is it advisable if I just chose to study in one of the Universities in the Visayan region,where my friend lives? Please give me some information regarding these matter. Thanks!

You check with your prospect school in the Philippines their requirements because there may be some entrance exams and othe rmethod of selections. Regarding studying Tagalog, you dont really need to because most schools in the Philippines (especially the top universities) uses English as medium of instruction. You'll learn Tagalog soon enough.

College education in the Philippines is typically given in English, particularly in medical fields such as Nursing. You don't have to study Filipino for your studies, though you may want to learn it for interaction purposes As for the requirements, it will depend on the university. St. Louis University in Baguio for example requires foreign students to have their transcript of records authenticated at the Philippine Embassy or consulate in your country http://www.slu.edu.ph/admission/foreigners.jsp . The premier university - University of the Philippines -- require "international foreign-administered examination such as General Certificate of Education (GCE) Examination and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or equivalent examination" as well as passing the entrance exam UPCAT http://www.up.edu.ph/content.php?r=4&c=4 As for studying in the Visayan region, you can very well do that as many schools in provinces like Cebu or Iloilo have significantly improved their standards of education (but not if you are going to places like Kalibo, Aklan where college education still lags so far behind). But most foreign nationals go to Metro Manila (Manila, Quezon City and neighboring areas) to study because of better standards of education, more support systems for foreign nationals, and more activities. You will need to file for Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR) and Certificate of Temporary Residence for Students (CTRS) at the Philippine Bureau of Immigration
