UNIVERSITIES

IN THE UK

Universities

in Britain are a magnet for overseas students. There are currently over 200,000

from outside Britain studying at British universities. The largest single group

is Chinese students. There are 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.

Besides,

the British education system is very flexible in order to provide for the needs

of a mod¬ern, complex society. It is also cost-effective. Degree courses are

usually shorter and more intensive than in other countries. There are lots of

scholarships available. You normally need 3 А-levels, which are the exams taken

by people leaving school at 18, in order to enter an undergraduate degree

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.

British

universities offer a personalised but independent approach. The emphasis is on

creative and independent thought, which helps to develop the skills you will

need to compete 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.

It

is 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 organisation 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 to give it a go?
