Education in the UK
The British educational system has a good reputation. Accredited qualifications obtained from
British schools and universities are recognised in most parts of the world. There are courses in
a wide variety of subjects, including many which are open to international students. Language
teaching methods in the UK are well developed, although the quality of teaching at language
schools can vary a lot.
Being independent when you study in the UK isn't just about living away from home. Whatever
UK course you study, you will be encouraged to think for yourself and create your own ideas.
A UK education will help you gain confidence in your own abilities and equip you with valuable
language, creative, analytical and research skills that employers look for.
UK education is all about you. No matter what level, you’ll have the flexibility to shape
your study to suit your needs. This freedom; combined with a centuries-old tradition of excellence
and an innovative approach to teaching makes UK education recognised and respected all over the world.
To ensure standards remain high, there are many independent organisations who regularly inspect and
accredit UK institutions and courses. You can be sure that studying in the UK is the right choice to
make the most of your education and enhance your future career prospects.
Close contact between students and tutors is a particular strength of all UK courses. Although each
UK institution is responsible for the standards and quality of its programmes, the Quality Assurance
Agency for Higher Education (QAA) regularly carries out independent audits. They ensure that institutions
in the UK are providing higher education, awards and qualifications of an acceptable quality and at an
appropriate academic standard.
The QAA have also developed a code of practice for UK institutions who deliver degree programmes in
other countries. So if you choose to study a UK qualification in your own country, you will benefit
from the same high standards of teaching, resource and support as you would from studying in the UK.
