English educational system

(1) The English higher education system is very well known for its high standards and intelligent graduates. Many people who have obtained high honors such as Nobel Peace Prizes have attended English universities. In many higher education institutions most students start going to university from age 18 on and study there for some sort of academic degree.

(2) All English universities offer a first level of degree known as a Bachelor’s degree. This takes you approximately three years to complete. Some institutions in England may also offer a Master’s Degree at the undergraduate level, which takes a total of four years to complete. Many people are finding this to be a great option because it costs a lot less money than returning for a postgraduate Master’s degree. And there is actually no difference between the credentials this type of degree gives you. Other universities offer vocational degrees known as “foundation degrees.” These take approximately two years to complete. They are also very flexible; you can continue to work full time while going to school.

(3) Some of the most prestigious universities in England offer postgraduate degrees. If schools offer postgraduate degrees, they offer Master’s Degrees (typically one year, sometimes two years if your degree is research-based) and / or Doctorate degrees (three year degrees). These are only available if you have obtained a Bachelor’s degree at an accredited university (not necessarily one in England).

(4) British universities provide support for students with disabilities such as adapted accommodation, professional care staff and learning support coordinators trained to help you get the most out of your degree. Universities in the UK also provide material in Braille and other formats, in addition to allowing students with a disability extra time to complete their coursework and exams.

(5) England has a rich history of quality higher education and each university has great options for any student.
