Choosing to study abroad may
seem daunting but it's a fantastic way of broadening
your horizons and boosting your career potential.
The UK welcomes over 300,000 international students
from 180 different countries, providing a vibrant
and cost-effective environment in which to live
and study. You'll gain world-class qualifications,
a brighter future and a student experience you
will never forget!
Standards of quality for UK institutions
are amongst the highest in the world. Universities,
colleges and schools are continually assessed
to make sure they meet strict criteria.
The British Higher Education system
is based on a system of lectures, seminars, tutorials
and self-directed study. When students apply for
a Bachelor's degree in most of the UK, they apply
to a specific course of study rather than an institution.
Each university has designated admissions staff
for each academic department.
The British academic year is divided
into three terms (autumn, winter and spring).
Each term is approximately 10 to 12 weeks with
3 week breaks in between.
Undergraduate degrees usually
take three years to complete in England. At some
universities, particular subjects require a foundation
course to be undertaken first. A foundation course
consists of a class or a number of classes that
bring the student up to university level of understanding
in the subject before commencing the degree. |
