Introduction to the UK higher education system

Higher education in the United Kingdom (UK) has a long history. Teaching in the city of Oxford is documented from 1096, making the University of Oxford the oldest university in the English speaking world.

A major expansion of higher education in the UK occurred in the 19th century with the awarding of royal charters to the St. David’s College, Lampeter (part of the University of Wales), Durham University, King’s College London, and University College London. In addition, the latter part of the century saw the foundation of medical, science and engineering colleges in England’s major industrial cities, some of which eventually became the so-called ‘redbrick’ universities of Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield.

During the 1950s and 1960s, as a direct response to the demands of an expanding population and the needs of an increasingly technological economy,

12

the British government decided to expand the higher education sector. New colleges of advanced technology were established from 1956 onwards and were awarded university status in 1966.

Significant expansion followed in 1992 when the UK government granted university status to 35 former polytechnics and to a number of other institutions, principally colleges of higher and further education. Between 2001 and 2013, additional 31 universities were created.

Higher education in the UK is now provided by a diverse range of organizations. 166 institutions currently have their own degree awarding powers. The majority of these also have ‘university’ title, which is only granted to those institutions which meet certain criteria.

The total number of students in the UK has grown from 1.6 million in 1994- 5 to 2.3 million in 2012-13. The total number of enrolments has decreased since 2010-11, largely as a consequence of a substantial decrease in part-time enrolments.

The UK’s higher education sector (HEIs) are not owned or run by government. They are independent, autonomous legal entities, with Councils or Governing Bodies that have responsibility for determining the strategic direction of the institution, for monitoring its financial health and for ensuring that it is effectively managed. While the majority of HEIs receive some public funding as a percentage of their total income, the proportion varies considerably between institutions.

Of the 166 Higher Education Institutions in the UK, 9 are privately owned. These institutions receive no funding from government for teaching and research, but are eligible to access funding via the Student Loans Company.

In the UK the power to award degrees is regulated by law and the national authorities only recognize institutions which have been granted degree-awarding powers by a royal charter or by Act of Parliament. Currently, the Further and Higher Education Act 1992.

Each institution makes its own decisions about entry requirements and is responsible for its own admissions procedures.

First degree courses, commonly known as bachelor’s degrees and usually awarded ‘with honours’, typically take three years to complete in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and four years at a Scottish university. Courses which include a period of practical work outside the institution normally take four years. Certain specialist courses and some vocational or professional degree courses may take longer. For example, medicine and dentistry can take up to six years (not including further specialist training) and architecture up to seven years.

At postgraduate course, a taught Master’s degree normally takes one year, a research Master’s two years and a doctoral degree a minimum of three years.

Hello, everyone! This is Ann again and today I will tell you about my future profession. If you remember, I am a first-year student of the Social Pedagogical Faculty. I am going to be a speech therapist.

The choice of this profession as a career was made many years ago when I studied at school. I and some of my classmates had problems with the articulation of some sounds and it was rather disappointing. So I became interested in the methods of dealing with speech problems and found out some interesting information.

Speech-Language Pathology is a growing field that involves preventing, assessing, diagnosing, and treating speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders in individuals of all ages. The profession is projected to grow 19% from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations.

To become a Speech Pathologist or Speech Therapist, individuals must complete graduate coursework and a clinical practicum at a college or university, and pass a national examination. They work in many different research, education, and healthcare settings with varying responsibilities, including preparing future professionals in colleges and universities, managing agencies, clinics or private practices, engaging in research to enhance knowledge about human communication processes, and developing new methods and equipment to evaluate problems and establish more effective treatments.

Therapists use a variety of strategies, including:

Language intervention activities: they interact with a child by playing and talking, using pictures, books, objects, or ongoing events to stimulate language development. The therapist may model correct vocabulary and grammar, and use repetition exercises to build language skills.

Articulation therapy: Articulation, or sound production, exercises involve having the therapist model correct sounds and syllables in words and sentences for a child, often during play activities. The level of play is age-appropriate and related to the child's specific needs. The speech therapist will show the child how to make certain sounds, such as the "r" sound, and may show how to move the tongue to make specific sounds.

Oral-motor/feeding and swallowing therapy: The speech therapist may use a variety of oral exercises — including facial massage and various tongue, lip, and jaw exercises — to strengthen the muscles of the mouth for eating, drinking, and swallowing. The therapist may also introduce different food textures and temperatures to increase a child's oral awareness during eating and swallowing.

My thorough theoretical studies determined my choice of a future career as a speech therapist. I find it very interesting and moreover I will be able to help those boys and girls who have problems with speech articulation. I want to be useful to people and be proud of seeing positive results of my work.

Hello! This is Ann again. As I’ve told you I was born in the city of Sochi. This city is very beautiful with unique nature and exotic plants. I want you to know more about it and I will tell you about my native city with pleasure.

19

Sochi is the largest resort city in Russia, situated on the Sochi River along the Black Sea in Southern Russia, with a population of about 500,000 people. It is known for its mineral springs, beaches, subtropical climate, and extensive resort facilities. The city stretches for 145 km along the Black Sea coast and is surrounded by the steep slopes of the Caucasus mountains.

Sochi is a major holiday and health resort, with numerous hotels, tourist centers, campsites, and sanatoriums. It is also an important transport hub and a significant economic and cultural center of the Black Sea coast of Russia.

The city hosted the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, leading to significant development and infrastructure improvements. Sochi is also known for its unique architectural heritage, including the Sochi railway station and the Sochi seaport, both of which are architectural monuments of local and federal significance, respectively.

The history of this area goes back to the ancient times. People came here from the Asia Minor 400-350 thousand years ago. There are more than 150 historical places of interest in the area. Here the camps and caves of pre-historic people have been found. The dolmens – massive prehistoric grave structures from the 2nd thousand BC are the features of the Bronze era.

The rich lands of the Caucasus always attracted invaders: Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Genuese, Turks.

In the VI century B.C. the Black Sea coast attracted Greek colonists who based a number of trade settlements, such as Dioscuria (Sukhum), Pitiunt (Pitsunda), Triglif (Gagra).

Christian religion was brought over from the Byzantynne three centuries earlier than to Russia. In the end of X – beginning of the XI centuries A.D. the first known Christian constructions were built in Loo, Galitsyno and Veseloye.

During XVIII-XIX centuries Russia conducted long wars with Turkey for the exit to the Black sea. In 1829, after the end of Russian-Turkish war, by the peace treaty the Black sea coast of Caucasus, from a mouth of the river Kuban up to a fort St. Nicholas departed to Russia.

Symbol of a victory of the Russian weapon in war of 1829 is the monument

“Anchor and Cannon”.

On April 21, 1838 a small wooden fortress was established in the Sochi river area to protect this land from local tribes. It was named Alexandria in honour of Empress Alexandra. It was renamed one year later and became Navaginskoye. But in 1854 because of the Crimean war the fortress was destroyed by Russian army. Russians left this area. Only ten years later, in March 1864 the new fortress named Dakhovskiy was established on the place of the Navaginskiy fortress.

In 1896 the fortress was renamed in the settlement of Sochi, after the name of the river Sochi.

In the end of XIX century the Black Sea coast was intensively occupied by the immigrants from central parts of Russia, Moldova, Ukraine, Belorussia,
