TEXT I
Read the text to yourself and suggest a title
The typical academic programme for university students in Great Britain is composed of a varying number of courses or subjects within a field of specialisation.
The academic obligations for each subject fall into three types. Lectures, at which attendance is not always compulsary, often outline the general scope of the subject matter and stress the particular specialisation of the lecturer. Tutorials, through individual or group discussion, reading extensively, and writing essays under the tutor’s direction, ensure focused and in-depth understanding of the subject.
Examinations on each subject require the student to consolidate his knowledge of the subject, which he has gained through lectures, discussions and a great deal of independent study. These three catrgories of academic activity-lectures, tutorials and examinations-provide the means by which students prepare themselves in specialised fields of knowledge in British universities.

The College has a 50 year tradition of developing and teaching undergraduate courses. At present it offers twelve degree courses which are validated by the Council for National Academic Awards (CNAA), together wth a number of postgraduate Diplomas and two Masters degrees.
Ealing ‘s degree courses are run under the auspices of the CNAA, the largest organization in this country with the authority to award degrees. CNAA degrees are comparable in standard to unuversity degrees and CNAA graduates are accepted by employers and professional institutions on the same basis as university graduates.
The College also offers a range of Higher National Diplomas and Certificates validated by the Business and Technician Education Council.
The College’s achievements in the years since-the Second World War have been especially impressive. It has been one of a small number of colleges which pioneered the development of undergraduate education outside the universities. It has been at the forefront of developments in the fields of language studies, and business and management education. It has developed a wide range of courses serving the needs of particular professions ranging fron Design to Librarianship, Accountancy to Transport. Its reputation in fields as disparate as Hotelkeeping an Catering and English as a Foreign Language, is known around the world.
In consequence, Ealing attracts students not only from all over the United Kingdom, but from the wider international community as well, including regular groups of students from Russia, the European Community and the United States of America. Today there are approximately 4000 fulltime and sandwich students in the College and over 6000 part-time students. They are served by over 500 members of the full-time academic staff and more than 350 part-time and visiting lecturers.
The College is situated in a pleasant area of West London only 30 minutes vy Underground from Central London. Students have easy access, therefore, to libraries, museums, art galleries, concert halls and theatres.
Notes to the text: “sandwich” students- студенты, обучающиеся на “промежуточных” курсах, в которых занятия в университете чередуются с работой на производстве.
