One
thing every prospective student in UK must be aware of prior to starting is to
have a basic knowledge of how the education system in the UK is designed.
Often students that lack this information find the system to be very confusing.
At
the very beginning, you must know that, in contrast to the US higher education
where universities are usually regarded as colleges, in UK the college and the
university are not the same thing. This is because of the way the whole system
is organized. So, if you aim to get a university degree, you must not enroll in
a college which would lead to another degree-level, but a university. Here is a list ofuniversities in UK.
Since the university and the college are at
two different degree levels in the UK education system, they’re basically
different in terms of length, program, curriculum and the degrees they award.
A college is part of the Further Education,
while the university is part of the Higher Education level, the highest among
the five main stages of education in UK.
Similar to a large number of universities, UK
is also proud of having a lot of colleges. As long there are many of them, one
may find it difficult to track and filter them out. Below we bring you the most
comprehensive list of colleges in UK.
