1.10 Study the information about studying at a University:
If you want to go (enter) university, you must first pass examinations. Students usually take examinations in three or four subjects, and they must do well to get a place at university.
If you get a place, you don’t have to pay tuition fees (money for teaching). Your education is free of charge. Some students have to pay their tuition fees, but some students need a loan (money you borrow from a bank) to cover the cost of (pay for) university life. Students at university are called undergraduates. A graduate is a person who holds a university degree.
University courses last (continue for) five years.
When people study one subject in great detail (often to find new information), we say they are doing research.
The head of department (also called a “faculty”, but less common in spoken English) at a university is a dean (university official).
Scholarship is grant of money towards education.
Grant is money given for a particular purpose, especially from public funds.
A university teacher gives a lecture on (geography, etc.) and the students take notes.
Students can do an (English, etc.) course in many colleges and universities. At the end of a course, you often have to take / do an exam. You hope to pass your exams. You don’t want to fail your exams.
If you pass your final exams at university, you get a degree.
