Traditionally UK has been a great seat for higher education. The great schools like Eaton or Harrow and universities like the Oxford and the Cambridge have have led the way for many years to maintain these traditional high standards and excellence.
UK education lets student shape their study to suit their needs - a freedom that is combined with the UK’s long tradition of excellence and innovative approach to teaching at every level. 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. This is the reason why almost 300,000 international non-EU students enrolled at British universities in the year 2010-2011.
All courses/ qualifications offered by the UK universities have to meet rigorous standards thus our UK qualification is a mark of quality, proving to future employers that you’re up to whatever task they set. Close contact between students and tutors is a particular strength of all UK courses.
UK undergraduate degree courses can be tailored to student interests. There are excellent foundation programmes too available to those who seek alternate to direct entry. Although some core topics on your undergraduate degree will be compulsory, you can also choose from optional modules. This gives you the opportunity to specialise in key areas that could help you achieve your career goals. Lectures are an important part of UK undergraduate courses, but you’ll spend most of your time in small tutorial and seminar groups.
If you study as a UK postgraduate student, most of the work you do will be on your own initiative, which really develops your thinking and research skills. On post graduate course work programmes (taught courses) postgraduate tutors and lecturers provide the framework of the course, but you are encouraged to pursue your own interests. With postgraduate research programmes, the principal teaching method is original research, completed under academic supervision. Pre-master’s courses are available for those who need help to improve your language skills and academic scores if you don’t yet meet UK entry requirements on your first degree. Master of Business Administration (MBA) courses in the UK are a particularly intensive, challenging and rewarding form of taught postgraduate course. There are many sources of funding available to you for studying in the UK, particularly for postgraduate students.

Getting a job while you study in the UK can improve your language skills and enhance your CV. Many UK institutions also have partnerships with local employers who want students to work for them – so they understand that you’ll need flexibility to work around your studies.
