| United Kingdom has long enjoyed a widely envied reputation for providing outstanding further and higher education opportunities not just for its own citizens but for the commonwealth and the world community. British educational qualifications are probably more universally trusted and respected than those of any other country.Students who have experienced the most usual continental European teaching technique of mass lectures in amphitheatres - sometimes with standing room only - never cease to marvel at the level of individual attention they receive in United Kingdom. Perhaps this is related to the honorable record United Kingdom enjoys in respecting the rights of the individual in general and enjoying the cultural and religious diversity of those who stay with us. This level of care should be discernible even in the way enquiries and applications are dealt with. An overseas student’s prior learning, work experience (if any) and qualifications will be treated seriously and weighed on their merits, not simply sifted by a computer following predetermined criteria. British Further and Higher Education Choices in Higher and Further Education are difficult even for those who want to study in their own country. For those destined to travel thousands of miles, the choice can be even more difficult.
‘Higher Education’ in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, which currently consists of some 96 universities and 70 or so Colleges of Higher Education, means the stage of education which follows on after you obtain qualifications equivalent to the Advanced Level of the General Certificate of Education. In Scotland the qualifying examinations are called ‘Highers’, and some students take a Certificate of Sixth Year Studies, which is similar to A-levels. These examinations are generally taken at the age of 17 or 18, in a narrow range of subjects, sometimes only three subjects, though new arrangements are extending this range.
|
| ‘Further Education’ is study at the level of GCE A-levels and similar examinations, but will also cover some lower level courses - equivalent to the O-level examinations for example, and technical and vocational qualifications at Technician Level in a range of subjects, varying from accountancy through computing, including perhaps the visual arts and usually languages as well. Further Education overlaps with the later stages of secondary or high school education, but is more varied in both content and level. Some Further Education Colleges offer qualifications at degree level as well. |
| Different Institutions |
The higher education system consists of Universities, Colleges of Higher Education and a number of small specialised colleges in areas of study such as Fine Art, Music and Agriculture.
Colleges of Further Education exist in most medium and large towns, and may sometimes be called ‘Technical College’ or ‘College of Technology’. They can be very large institutions with upwards of 10,000 students, or much smaller and consequently more specialised. |
| Why United Kingdom? |
| It is not an easy job for a student who wishes to pursue his studies from overseas to make up his mind regarding the choice of country he wants to pursue his higher education from. The choice of a country is usually done based on a number of features. This section gives you an overview to United Kingdom (History, Culture, Geography, Attractions etc.) & the Living & Working conditions. |

Criteria of University/ Course Choice |

|
|
|
|
Most of the students choose the university/course for overseas study based on the fact that some of their friends are either studying there already or are planning to do so in future. However, making a choice of the university/course is not that hard and should not revolve around your friend circle only.
We at Ezyadmissions have various selection criteria’s that help you understand where a certain university stands in terms of key aspects like student staff ratio, graduate prospects, student support etc and what sort of courses they run. The courses can be found through our advanced course search mechanism. |
