The higher education system in the United Kingdom is one of the oldest, most developed and prestigious. Currently, there are dozens of well-known universities in the country and hundreds of less well-known ones. One way or another, they all provide a high level of education, with which only a few universities in the world can be compared. And in this article we will look at what higher education institutions are in England, what are the main features of the higher education system in the UK, and what our average person needs to do in order to become a student at a university or institute in Foggy Albion.

The main features of universities in the UK

Universities in England have a thousand-year history of origin. The first universities in the country were Oxford, founded in the 12th century, and Cambridge, which was founded a little later. Since then, the UK higher education system has been improving, and over the centuries, its own methodology of education has been developed, universities have received hundreds of regalia, and education in England has become a symbol of prestige.

How to enter an English university and what is needed for this?

The entire system of higher education in the UK is represented by several categories of educational institutions - these are universities, colleges and institutes. Upon admission to them, no concessions and discounts are given to either local applicants or foreign ones - equal conditions are created for everyone, and distribution advantages are given only to those future students who have the highest scores in their certificates.

To apply and enroll in universities in the UK, you need to have a GCSE certificate, which is an analogue of domestic high school and secondary education certificates. An important condition is the presence in the certificate of indicators in at least five subjects, two of which must be passed without fail with excellent marks. In a word, if you want to enter the universities of England, you will have to try on your own grades at school. For foreign applicants who have not been trained in English schools, it is necessary to take a two-year course of pre-university education in special international schools in the UK, the result of which will be passing exams and obtaining an A-levels diploma.

Another no less important condition is the perfect knowledge of the English language, which is fixed by the IELTS certificate. The certificate is obtained by the results of passing a special difficult test, which can only be passed if the study of English took place for more than one year (ideally, in the schools of Britain itself).

The collected documents (and this is the A-levels or GCSE certificate, the IELTS certificate, as well as the applicant's personal documents) are collected in advance. Each university in the UK sets its own requirements regarding the content of the full package of documents. Direct application is carried out at UCAS - a special University Admissions Service from September 1 to October 15. Applicants can submit a package of documents to six different educational institutions at once. For those applicants who want to enter the best universities in England (for example, Oxford or Cambridge), you need to independently come to these universities, submit documents, undergo an interview and pass difficult entrance exams. Difficult? Rather, it is natural, since studying at the most famous and prestigious universities in the world provides incredible opportunities.

What are the difficulties of studying in English universities?

The applicant passed all the necessary tests, exams, submitted documents, even passed interviews and can finally be considered a student of an English university. Is this the end of the difficulty? No, because all the difficulties are just ahead.

The first 3-4 years the student studies for a bachelor's degree. This is the first academic degree, and after training, the student can become a bachelor of law, medicine, technical, humanities and other sciences. In addition to the compulsory training program, the student must choose an additional one that best suits his needs and knowledge. For example, a required course of study in law schools may include an additional course in international law, tax law, or M&A. As in domestic universities, UK universities have lectures and seminars.

University education is very difficult. The author of this article had to communicate directly with a teacher from England and draw a similar conclusion based on the following information: no more than 4-5 basic disciplines are studied in one semester, while every 3 months a difficult control test is done for each of them and one comprehensive test for all disciplines. No usual cheat sheets - if they are found, then there will be no retakes, only expulsion from the university. English universities have earned their international prestige for centuries, so teachers carefully monitor the quality of their students' education. Of course, there can be no talk of any bribes.

After 4 years of study, the student is eligible to receive a Master of Science degree. And here, in addition to training, research and scientific work is connected. The difficulty in obtaining a master's degree is colossal, but after training a graduate becomes a highly qualified specialist, in demand in the labor market of almost any country.

The cost of studying at universities in England

The cost of studying at universities in England is different in all cases. If you calculate the average, then the student will have to pay at least 10-12 thousand pounds per year for education (this is about 20 thousand dollars). In the most prestigious universities in the UK and in medical specialties, the cost of education is already from 20 thousand pounds a year or more. The calculation does not take into account the cost of accommodation, food and other expenses.

Benefits of studying at universities in England

A diploma of a graduate of an English university is a real carte blanche that allows you to enter any organizations, institutions and companies in the world almost freely. Only some European universities and US universities can compete, and so the graduate is out of competition. And this is ensured not only by the diploma itself, but also by the highest level of knowledge. And if a student was able to graduate from a British university (and now we are not even talking about Oxford or Cambridge), then his level of knowledge will be so high that employers will have no doubts when choosing an applicant for a place. This is the most important advantage, in comparison with which the rest are simply leveled. However, we will also note the opportunity to get acquainted with the culture of one of the oldest countries in the world, and the possibility of perfect command of the English language, etc.

What are the universities in the UK?

To date, there are dozens of different universities in which hundreds of thousands of students are educated. We will consider only the most famous and significant both in terms of training qualified specialists, and in terms of prestige and opportunities for further employment.

Question answer

When entering Degree Programs IELTS - overall score 6.5 or TOEFL(iBT) - total score 88.

The ideal option is to submit documents a year before the start of training. But, being realists, we understand that it is not always possible to do this. Therefore, we advise you to do this at least six months before the start date of the academic program in the United States.

No. In a master's program in the USA, you will study with American students and you will not be given any indulgences for being a foreigner... you will understand at lectures, seminars! If you have a weak/intermediate English, then we strongly advise you to take special preparatory courses, in which you will improve both the "general" and "academic" aspects of English.

In this matter, it is better to focus on your taste. As a rule, the training program is the same for all centers within one language school. Keep in mind that London is a huge city. It is more suitable for adults who prefer to live in the metropolis and want to live in the capital. If you want to touch the traditions, it is better to choose a small town somewhere in the outback, and come to London on excursions. You can also go to improve your English on the coast and combine study and a wonderful holiday by the sea. For children, it is better to choose small towns and centers with a rich cultural program.

Yes, you can enroll in the Foundation or A-Level preparatory program. Such programs exist at international language centers and at some universities. The A-Level program is designed for 2 years, after its completion you can enter British universities on a par with British applicants. The Foundation program is designed for 1 year and is designed specifically to prepare students from abroad for admission and further study at universities in the UK. After the successful completion of such a program, you can enter the 1st year, and in some universities and the second.

Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Winston Churchill, US President John F. Kennedy, Stella McCartney, John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Jonathan Swift, Arthur Conan Doyle, George Gordon Byron, Vladimir Nabokov, John Locke, Oscar Wilde... These are just a few of the famous alumni British universities. Throw in the names of virtually all British monarchs, members of the British House of Commons, chairmen of the board and presidents of many world-famous corporations, and you get the answer to the question "what gives graduates an expensive British education."

To date, the most successful financially are graduates of such British universities (the ranking of the best universities in the UK in terms of graduate salaries is compiled by the popular The Times):

London School of Economics - average graduate salary £27,637;

The cost of education in Foggy Albion is one of the highest in the world, second only to some private universities in the USA, Switzerland and France. And given the cost of living in this expensive country, the cost of education automatically doubles.

The most expensive universities are located in the central part of England, the lower cost is those located in the northern part of Scotland. Of course, the cost of studying at universities in the UK depends on the specialty. The most expensive specialties, as in many other countries, are medicine, dentistry and biotechnology.

The average cost of studying at universities in England ranges from 10,000 to 15,000 pounds per year. Contrary to popular belief, the cost of studying at the famous Oxford and Cambridge is not much different from other British universities - from 13,000 to 18,000 pounds, depending on the program of study. Further - about the most expensive universities in the UK in more detail.

Universities in England have centuries-old traditions, and are also among the most prestigious in the world. Check out the list and descriptions of the most popular universities in the UK and choose the one that suits you in all respects.

Getting a job can seriously affect your ability to find a good job and get promoted faster. Traditions in this country are honored and, last but not least, they relate to education. No wonder English higher education institutions are among the best, according to various experts. Here you can see a lot of foreigners, their number exceeds 65 thousand people. Restrictions are related to age, which must be at least 18 years old. Of course, you need to finish school in your home country.

Requirements and features of training

Since in England it takes 13 years to complete a secondary education, a foreign applicant will not need a matriculation certificate, but an A-levels exam. This can be done at one of the international colleges or private schools, having completed a two-year pre-university study.

Also, you can unlearn in advance at preparatory courses that will help you enter an English institute. There is an opportunity to go to study after the first or second year of a domestic university. You will have to demonstrate excellent knowledge of the English language and pass the exam.

The first three to four years will be needed to complete a bachelor's degree. This makes it possible to have a first degree and become a bachelor of law, humanitarian, technical, pedagogical sciences, as well as medicine and music.

Much attention in many universities is paid not only to study and a well-established and comfortable life, but also to the opportunity for students to study English more deeply.

An important advantage is that each foreign student will be able to choose a program that will meet their own abilities and needs. Of course, this does not cancel the mandatory course. But if you can get general information at lectures, then at seminars there is an opportunity to study almost individually with a teacher, since classes are usually held in small groups.

Some orthodoxy did not prevent us from building it in such a way that everyone could reveal their abilities more fully, learn to independently solve various problems and find a solution.

After a bachelor's degree, you can go to the second stage and get a master's degree. This will allow not only to improve their professional level, but also to actively engage in research work. Therefore, it is important to choose a university with a good laboratory and library collections. True, it should be noted that many well-known scientists work in universities and, in addition to their own research, help young graduate students write their dissertations.

Rules and fees

It is important to know a few rules that will help you enter an English university faster and more successfully.

You need to pay attention to English. The Foundation program will help fill in the gaps and raise the level of knowledge.

After choosing a specialty, you need to study the ranking of universities and choose the two universities that are most suitable. Those in the top ten have more stringent, special requirements.

The collected documents and the application must be sent in advance. Reception and consideration is from September 1 to October 15. You will have to come to Oxford and Cambridge and submit documents directly to the selection committee.

In England, the UCAS College and University Admissions Service operates, so admission is through it.

It is imperative to send the results of the exams, because only then there is a real chance to start your studies at the university.

For foreign students, the cost of education may vary, as EU citizens receive certain discounts and some benefits. In addition, after receiving a diploma in this country, you can even work in your specialty for two years.

It will take three years to get a bachelor's degree in England, and even four in Scotland. However, no one bothers to simultaneously undergo an industrial practice and earn extra money at the same time. This combination of study and work is very common in England.

Until the age of seven, those who have chosen some areas of medicine or architecture will have to study. But it takes only two years to become a master.

The cost of education is also affected by the prestige of the university and the rating of the specialty. On average, the price ranges from 10 to 12 thousand pounds per year. True, medical specialties can cost 20-22 thousand pounds.

But no matter where the training takes place, one can only say that the money was not spent in vain.
