Education in the United Kingdom

Why the UK: benefits for international students

Classical education and global recognition of diplomasThe British education system is known for its centuries-old traditions and classical approaches to learning, and has already become synonymous with quality education. The UK has many top-rated universities that compete with US universities in the rankings of the world's best universities. Diplomas issued by British universities are recognized worldwide and provide graduates with many career opportunities. Choice of study programs and universitiesAll British universities can be divided into 2 types: - research universities, whose students are engaged in science and research;- career universities, which provide the most applied practical knowledge and cooperate with local and international corporations. British universities offer a wide range of programs: both in the humanities and in technical fields. Both research and career universities are united by a practical focus - during their studies, students will gain not only theoretical but also practical knowledge, as well as develop the skills required by the global labor market.  30% of university research in the UK is classified as world-leading and 46% as internationally excellent according to the latest version of the Research Excellence Framework (REF). This means that British universities have a national and international impact.  Duration and cost of studyIn the UK, you can obtain a bachelor's degree in 3 years of study and a master's degree in 1 academic year. The shorter duration of the programs helps students to master their chosen specialty faster and significantly reduce tuition and living expenses.  The cost of studying at British universities for Ukrainians starts at £14,600 per year. However, if you have a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP), the tuition fee will be from £9,000 per year - the same as for British students.
Employment prospects Ukrainian students studying in the UK can work while studying: - 20 hours per week (part-time) - during the academic year;- 40 hours per week (full-time) - during the holidays.  Graduates of UK universities can stay in the country for another 2 years for the purpose of employment.  According to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), about 88% of UK university graduates find a job or continue their studies within the first six months after graduation. Choosing student cities and travelingThe UK has a significant number of student cities to study in, including both metropolitan areas and smaller towns. For example, London, Manchester, Oxford and Edinburgh are the largest and most popular student cities in the country. Brighton is another popular student city on the English Channel coast, which has a more relaxed southern atmosphere. In the UK, you can choose based on your financial capabilities and preferences.  Whichever city you choose to study in, you will have incredible opportunities to travel around England, Scotland, Wales, etc.; you can easily get to any European city or fly to Canada or the United States with the appropriate visa.  International environment and student lifeThe UK is a country where students from all over the world study.
