 Characteristics of the Educational Systems and Teaching Methods in the United Kingdom
Courses involve classroom instruction, essays, projects and practical work. Institutions use a variety of teaching and assessment methods to encourage independence, as well as mastery of the subject. At degree and postgraduate level in particular, students are encouraged to read widely, to question and analyze what they have read, and to discuss openly their own ideas in seminars and tutorials. In addition students are also encouraged to combine their academic work with a lively social life and, wherever you go, there will be a wide choice of extra-curricular activities to get involved in: theatre, football, singing, debating sessions… Higher and further education institutions will not only take into account academic results when selecting the best candidates for courses, they will also be looking at your all-round personal development. Degrees in the United Kingdom can take only three years and postgraduate master's courses only one year compared with four years and two years in most other countries. This means you will save a great deal on both tuition fees and living costs and you will be able to start working and earning money sooner. Degree courses in the United Kingdom are shorter because they are more intensive, and therefore more efficient in terms of your time and money.
