The United Kingdom is one of the top destinations to study around the world. With traditions of excellence dating back hundreds of years and high-class institutions on every corner, the UK has much to offer international students:
Worldwide recognition
This standard of excellence is set by some of the older universities with recognizable names, such as Oxford and Cambridge, but the tradition carries through to many of the universities and colleges throughout the UK.
Lower costs
Although four-year programs are increasing in popularity, most degree programs in the UK are three years, and a masters program is typically between one and two years. However Scottish students domiciled in Scotland and going to a Scottish university have their fees paid. A postgraduate degree takes only one year. This means you will spend less on tuition fees.
Employability
As of 2021, UK graduates are among the most employable in the world, with three UK universities ranked in the global top 20 for employability, and 14 ranked in the top 100.
