Обучение по программе, необходимой для поступления в университет, длится два года. Этой возможностью обычно пользуются выпускники английских средних школ, собравшиеся получить первое высшее образование. Называются подобные программы A-levels. Это отличительная особенность английского образования – необходимость дополнительно учиться перед тем, как поступить в ВУЗ.
Большинство гостей Великобритании, приезжающие в страну с целью обучения, сначала заканчивают А-levels. При этом обучающиеся имеют возможность выбирать, какие дисциплины они будут изучать. Ориентируются они при этом на предполагаемую профессию и экзамены, которые надо будет сдавать для поступления в выбранный университет. Учеба на А-levels заканчивается сдачей экзаменов по тем дисциплинам, которые изучал студент. Их количество обычно составляет 3-4, эта проверка знаний также выполняет функцию вступительных экзаменов в высшее учебное заведение.
Профессиональное образование
Методов получения профессиональных знания в Англии существует множество. Многие студенты предпочитают сочетать обучение с работой. Это позволяет одновременно с получением теоретических знаний овладевать практическими навыками. Самые популярные специальности среди английской молодежи и иностранных студентов – информационные технологии, дизайн, социальная работа, индустрия красоты. Обучаясь по соответствующим программам, молодые люди получают технические умения, необходимые для устройства на работу. После окончания некоторых из них выпускники поступают в университет на первый курс или даже второй.

The Future of Higher Education
Written by Brad Lukanic
The future of higher education is a constantly moving target. Everything from the emergence of MOOCs (massive open online courses) to new learning styles and mounting financial and sustainability pressures are impacting the education landscape. Every day higher education leaders are developing new strategies to leverage across these developing challenges and opportunities.
The common denominator amidst all this change: students. What should they learn? How can institutions best attract them? How do you best empower their learning? How do you keep them safe? What do they value? These aren’t new questions but the answers are shifting rapidly. The questions are also becoming more critical for educational institutions given the National Center for Education Statistics report revealing in 2014, for the first time in three decades, demographics predicted a diminishing population for college age students in the United States.
Here are five bold predictions for how the answers to those questions will define the future of education.
