A Few Words About Higher Education in Great Britain

There are different kinds of educational institutions in Great Britain: universities, colleges, evening departments at colleges, and others.

At present there are about forty universities in Great Britain; practically every big city of the country has a university. Its function is to give the highest type of education to its students. A University graduate¹ leaves with the Degree of Bachelor of Arts², Science, Engineering, Law, Medicine, etc. Later he may continue to take the Master's³ Degree.

British universities greatly differ from each other in date of foundation, history, tradition, size, way of student life, etc.

The two oldest and best-known universities are Oxford and Cambridge. As the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge are residential⁴, (i.e. the students live in one of the University hostels or in a private room) they are smaller than most of the colleges of other universities, for example the University of London.

Besides universities in Great Britain there are about three hunarea technical colleges. As a rule, the course for training specialists at such colleges is shorter than at the universities. It usually lasts three or four years, while at the universities it lasts more than four years.

Notes: 1. Graduate - выпускник (вуза)

2. Degree of Bachelor of Arts - степень бакалавра искусс гваю

3. Master - магистр

4. Residential - имеющий общежитие
