UNIVERSITIES IN THE UK

1. Universities in Britain are a magnet for students all over the world. There’re currently over 250,000 from outside Britain studying at British universities. The largest single group is Chinese students. There’re currently 50,000 in the UK. The British government expects the total number of overseas students to be around 900,000 by 2020, and also thinks that a quarter of these will be Chinese. But why is the UK such a popular destination for university students? Well, the quality of your course is guaranteed. All courses are assessed by an independent system, so you can be assured that your course is officially approved and has wide international recognition.

2. The British educational system is flexible in provision for the needs of a modern society. It is also cost-effective. Degree courses are usually shorter and more intensive than in other countries. There’re lots of scholarships available. You normally need 3A-levels, which are the exams taken by people leaving school at 18, in order to enter a course. You also need an IELTS score of at least 5.5, but many universities offer foundation or access courses to prepare students for their studies.

3. British universities offer a personalized but independent approach. The emphasis is on creative and independent thought, which helps develop the skills you will need to complete in the global job market. Tutors not only teach but also provide support and guidance. As a result, international students have a very low drop out rate and a very high pass rate.

4. It’s very simple to become an international student in the UK. The British Council offers a free and impartial service to anyone who is interested in studying in the UK, and an organization called UCAS assists you in finding a course and making an effective application. The UK is a dynamic and cosmopolitan place. The countryside is beautiful, and the theatres, museums, architecture and rich history make it a fascinating place to live and study. Why not give it a go?
