10 Things you should know about british universities
What are the types of the universities in the UK?
Did the graduates of the Polytechnics get the academic degree?
How long does the general university course last?
How long should you study to become a doctor?
Why do language courses last 4 years?
Where can you take money to pay for your study?
Where can you find a place to live?
Can you both work and study?
Where can you spend your free time?
What institution can you enter to be a teacher?
There are over 90 universities in Great Britain. They are divided into three types:
the old universities (Oxford, Cambridge and Edinburgh Universities),
the 19th century universities, such as London and Manchester universities,
and the new universities.
Some years ago there were also polytechnics. After graduating from polytechnic a student got a degree, but it was not a university degree. 31 formers polytechnics were given university status in 1992.
Full courses of study offer the degree of Bachelor of Art or Science. Most degree courses at universities last three years, language courses 4 years (including year spent aboard). Medicine and dentistry courses are longer (5-7 years).
Students may receive grants from the Local Education Authority to help pay for books, accommodation, transport, and food. This grant depends on the income of their parents.
Most students live away from home, in flats of halls of residence.
Students don’t usually have a job during term time because the lessons called lectures, seminars, classes of tutorials (small groups), are full time. However, many students now have to work in the evenings.
University life is considered «an experience». The exams are competitive but the social life and living away from home are also important. The social life is excellent with a lot of clubs, parties, concerts, bars.
There are not only universities in Britain but also colleges. Colleges offer courses in teacher training, courses in technology and some professions connected with medicine.
ВЫСШЕЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ В ВЕЛИКОБРИТАНИИ
У английских университетов — престижная репутация и почти тысячелетняя история. Они дают своим выпускникам блестящее академическое образование и шансы получить сразу после окончания очень хорошую работу. Инфраструктура университетов Британии очень развита и имеет давние традиции.
Набором студентов в высшие учебные заведения занимается центральное бюро UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Все абитуриенты заполняют т.н. форму UCAS. Эта заявка включает в себя следующие данные:
баллы, уже полученные на выпускных экзаменах, если человек закончил предуниверситетский курс A-level,
описание устремлений и амбиций заявителя с обоснованием, почему он решил делать карьеру именно в данной области (короткое сочинение, т.н. personal statement),
список университетов Великобритании в алфавитном порядке (не больше 6), в которых абитуриент хотел бы учиться. К заявке прилагается характеристика школы (или другого учебного заведения).
Как быть, если Вы получали среднее образование не в Британии? Закон гласит, что в университеты могут поступать и иностранцы, но если им не меньше 18 лет и их образование эквивалентно британскому. Наш аттестат зрелости в данном случае не подойдет — в Великобритании среднее образование длится 13 лет, у нас — 11.
Есть два пути — проучиться первые два курса в местном университете, получить сертификат об отличном знании английского языка и попытать поступить в британский университет. Но этот путь долгий и ненадежный — скорее всего придется рассчитывать на место не в очень престижном вузе. Второй вариант — пройти двухлетнее предуниверситетское обучение в самой Британии в школе-пансионе или в международном колледже.
