UK education is all about giving
you inspiration to develop your knowledge and skills, freedom to be creative,
and support to help you achieve your best.
On a UK course you will benefit from excellent
teaching and facilities. In order to accept students, UK education centres must
meet strict quality standards set by the UK government and education bodies.
With such a good reputation for research and
education, universities and colleges in the UK attract some of the world's
leading academics and professionals. You will be encouraged to express your own
ideas and think for yourself.
The attention to quality is reflected in the UK's
excellent results:four of the top six universities in
the world are in the UK.
The UK is a worldleading research nation. 54% of the
research conducted by UK universities and colleges is classed as either
“worldleading” or “internationally excellent”.
At the most recent inspection, 97% of further
education colleges were judged satisfactory or better, for their overall
effectiveness.
In the recent BIS Tracking International Graduate
Outcomes survey, more than 88% of international higher education graduates said
they were satisfied with their UK learning experiences.
Likewise, in the Higher Education Academy Postgraduate
Taught Experience survey of UK postgraduate students, 93% rated the quality of
teaching positively.
For English language students, you'll find the UK has
long been at the forefront of language teaching, and pioneered many of the
techniques now used around the world. The emphasis is on learning the language
through fun and participation: instead of just listening to your teacher, your
classes will involve games, problemsolving and discussions. You might also
listen to songs, watch television or read magazines to practise your
comprehension skills.
The UK's boarding schools also offer excellent
teaching, facilities and support. At UK independent schools (most boarding
schools are independent), a teacher has just 9.4 pupils on average, so teachers
have more time to give you individual support. This is reflected in the
results: 91% of students from UK independent schools go on to higher education.
