Why study in UK

WHY CHOOSE THE UK FOR YOUR OVERSEAS STUDIES?

In a world of life-long learning, British education is … the first-class ticket for life.”
The Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Tony Blair, MP

YOU WILL GET A WORLD-CLASS QUALIFICATION

British qualifications are recognised and respected around the world. The UK enjoys a reputation for unsurpassed quality throughout the world. It encourages skills that are relevant, marketable and much sought-after by today’s top companies which means students can look forward to better career prospects and higher potential earnings.

IT COSTS LESS THAN YOU THINK

British degree courses tend to be shorter than those in other countries, which saves you money. For example, most UK undergraduate degrees take only three years, and most postgraduate Masters courses can be completed in just one year instead of two. The quality is the same as for longer degrees; the studies are just more intensive, and thus more efficient. This is a highly cost-effective approach: because you complete the course more quickly, you save on both tuition and living costs. Their shorter study period also means you are able to enter employment earlier, so you can start earning money sooner.
Another financial advantage is that you won’t need to budget for health insurance. In England, as long as your course in the UK lasts six months or more – no matter what the level of the course – you can register with the National Health Service (NHS). This will allow you access to free doctors examinations and hospital treatment, reduced-cost medicines, dental treatment and eye tests.

IT IS QUALITY ASSURED AND HAS WORLD-CLASS STANDARDS

The perception that quality and standards are dropping is not true. Most qualifications offered in the UK are subject to strict quality standards overseen by government-appointed agencies.
The UK leads the world in developing quality standards and performance measures. In fact, the country is so committed to quality that the results of several of these assessments are publicly available for you to consult if you wish.
This extensive, sophisticated system of quality assurance means that when you choose to study in the UK, you can be confident that the course and institution you choose are closely monitored to ensure high standards.

IT HAS A DYNAMIC TRADITION

UK’s past achievements are ensuring our present scientific and artistic successes. Ambitious achievers who are seeking a superior education choose the UK because British education is constantly changing while retaining the best of its prestigious 800-year heritage.

UK education offers the best from traditions of the past in combination with an up-to-date approach to the latest developments in new fields of study.

THERE IS A WIDE VARIETY OF COURSES TO CHOOSE FROM

The enormous cultural and regional diversity demonstrates that the UK really has more to offer in terms of education, lifestyle and experience choices to help you be the best you can be. Diversity within the education system offers students choices in location, cost, environment and study methods and styles.

LEADS THE WAY IN SCIENTIFIC AND CREATIVE INNOVATIONS

Students here learn alongside some of the worlds top intellectual achievers – people who have developed original knowledge in their fields – in an environment of vibrant creativity.
British education will give you analytical and creative thinking skills that you’ll need in the working world. Institutions in the UK use a variety of teaching and assessment methods designed to develop independent thought as well as a mastery of the subject matter. The strength in this personalised, independent approach will help you to develop the problem-solving skills you will need in the real world.

WELCOMES INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

The UK has been welcoming international students for generations, and there are many systems in place to help you make the transition. The perception that British people are as cold as their climate is totally wrong. Applying to a British educational institution is easy. Once you arrive in the UK, you will find a network of support services to smooth the way, such as counselling, academic support, social facilities, guaranteed accommodation for the first year, and specialist advisers. These services will help you settle in and get the most from your educational experience. By choosing the UK, you will be joining the thousands of other international students who come here each year. You will leave with excellent educational qualifications and the experience to carry with you throughout your life.
