ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Universities in the UK have the best academic standards in the world. In fact, four out of the top 10 universities in the world are from the UK QS WORLD RANKING 2019 including the likes of Oxford and Cambridge. When studying in the UK, you will find that practical and utility-based knowledge is preferred over text-book learning. This will enable you to acquire critical thinking and analytical skills along with creative ability in your chosen discipline.

QUALITY EDUCATION

The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) is an independent body in the UK that regularly assesses the education standards of all universities and colleges in the country. Besides checking their performances through audits and subject reviews, it and helps identify the best education practices and sends feedback for improvisation. These research standards are also examined by the UK higher education funding bodies, who publish their findings at regular intervals. This is ensures all students have access to the best quality of learning, research and teaching irrespective of the course they choose to pursue.

SHORTER DURATION OF COURSES

Courses in the UK education system are shorter and more intensive than many other countries, which means you’ll graduate sooner, and without compromising on quality. While you can complete an undergraduate program in three years, you’ll be able to finish a graduate program in just one year. This not only saves your time, but also a chunk of money spent on tuition fees and living costs.
