International student life on video
Viewing the views of the UK uni experience
For international students it can be tough to get an idea of what it's actually like to study in the UK. Push's profiles go some of the way, but it might be handy if other international students could somehow project their thoughts across some worldwide network and anyone could look in.
Well, that's the idea behind Projectorhead, a YouTube channel featuring videos made by overseas students studying in the UK about their experiences. The scheme is being run by Education UK, who are basically a bunch of guys at the British Council who big up UK unis to students abroad who might want to study here.
Make your own video and win stuff
If you're an international student who's already in the UK and you reckon you have more than a streak of Spielberg, you can post your own videos. What's more, if your video ends up top ranked, you could win you could win prizes like an Apple iPod Touch, a Nintendo Wii, a Canon Camcorder or a Panasonic camera. Even if you don't win, it'll still get seen all over the world and it's a worthwhile cause.
And, in case you've never seen a video before and need to know what one looks like, they made a promo to give people the idea. And, err, perhaps they didn't want to set the bar too high, but the others do tend to be a bit more informative...
