Why Study in the UK?
The UK is well known to have one of the most successful education systems, and hosts some of the most prestigious schools, colleges and universities in the world. UK institutions are consistently ranked among the best in the world and qualifications are valued and recognised internationally. It is no wonder that over 500 000 international students from 200 nations come to the UK to gain a high quality education each year.
Internationally Recognised Qualifications
Degrees and qualifications from UK schools, colleges and universities are known around the world as high quality and world class. Students hoping for a place at Russell Group universities such as Oxford and Cambridge often choose to first come to the UK for their high school qualifications; as it allows them to not only ensure they gain top exam results from recognised schools and colleges, but also allows them to improve their English and immerse themselves in British culture and customs ahead of embarking on their higher education.
Perfect English Language Skills
Every year, an estimated 600,000 international students come to the UK to improve or perfect their English language skills. There is no better way of learning a language than ‘living the language’ in the country where it is spoken. Students who attend schools and colleges in the UK will be fully immersed in the language with class mates, in lessons and in their free time. What better place to enhance your English skills than in the birthplace of the language.
Great Value for Money
The UK is the most cost effective place to gain a top international education out of the ‘big three’; Australia, USA and the UK. In comparison to schools and colleges across Europe, the UK is also significantly cheaper, in spite of hosting some of the most renowned schools such as Eton College.
Cultural Diversity
The cultural diversity of life in the UK is unrivalled. From cosmopolitan cities like London, Cardiff, Belfast and Glasgow, to historic counties like Warwickshire and Yorkshire, the UK is a place of contrasts and culture, where ancient buildings sit alongside contemporary architecture.
Experience Europe’s Culture Capital
The city of London alone attracts more than 100 000 academically ambitious students from over 200 different countries each year. In fact, as one of Europe’s culture capitals, London attracts more international students than any other city in the world, as it not only offers a quality education but also a diverse cultural offering ranging from fine art, music, history and entertainment.
