UNIVERSITIES IN THE UK

Universities in Britain are a magnet for overseas students. There are currently over 200,000 young people from outside Britain studying at British universities. The largest single group is Chinese students. There are currently 50,000 of them 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 modern, 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 A-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 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 fh indlng a course and makfrag an effective application.
