Study in the United Kingdom, world’s most popular study destination. Choose from universities like the Oxford and Cambridge that are synonymous with academic excellence.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom. There was a time when the East India Company and the British monarchy ruled over half the known world. The British had set up trading outposts and colonies, eventually leaving an English imprint on places as far as Australia, India and the West Indies. Today, Great Britain has a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II, her royal majesty, on the throne.
It was during the 19th century when a major expansion in the higher education sector in the UK happened, with the awarding of the royal charters to some of the prominent UK institutions. Since then, many initiatives were launched to bestow the university status to some of the institutions, which went on to become the popular ones in the world.
Public universities dominate the higher education system in the UK, where each university is an autonomous body and has its own unique entry requirements for its students. The structure of each university is not ruled by any government but an independent entity from the university that looks after the financial and strategic health of the university.
The UK universities are categorised into colleges of different subjects, which means you need to be sure, beforehand, about which subject you want to study before applying to a UK college. Unlike in the US where you have an option to choose electives and switch over to some other subject at the end of first year, UK colleges, irrespective of being autonomous bodies, expect you to adhere to your choice of subject. Hence, you either apply at each college of the subject that you are interested in or you apply through a centralised (common) system that allows you to apply at various colleges at the same point in time.
The UK has been a favourite destination amongst students for many years!
The UK Institutions like the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge have stood the test of time and have continued to inspire students to become outstanding individuals and responsible citizens. The UK has a strong Asian community with people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
Each year, the UK draws a high number of students from all over the world. Going by recent trends, many Indian students study at institutions like the Bangor University, University of Edinburgh, University of Dundee and the University of Glasgow. This trend is also linked to the fact that these cities are less expensive when compared with living in London, Birmingham or Leeds.
The UK still holds the helm of being one of the most outstanding and charming European countries. With a population of 65.6 million (Worldbank), the country has its doors open for you, to experience its education quality and everything that comes along with it.
