These programs are usually referred to as pathways or foundation programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n Students can enter higher education programs to obtain an advanced degree and continue their studies in the UK.\u00a0There are three main types of higher education, which lead to bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n Bachelor’s or undergraduate degrees<\/span><\/p>\n Studying an undergraduate degree aims to help students obtain a comprehensive knowledge of a subject or major.\u00a0Bachelor’s degrees are classified into ordinary or honors degrees.\u00a0An ‘ordinary’ degree is normally a three-year full-time program of study, while an ‘honours’ degree requires four years of full-time study.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have finished an undergraduate degree, how do you know that postgraduate study in the UK is the next stage for you?\u00a0Deciding to graduate school is an important step, but it means sacrificing a lot of time and being away from work for a bit longer.\u00a0However, it may be a worthwhile investment in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n Qualifying study programmes<\/span><\/p>\n Higher education institutions offer qualifying study programs for international students, including Foundation Studies and English Language Preparation programmes, to ensure that students receive the extra support and help they need to succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n The academic year in the UK starts in September or October and ends in June or July.\u00a0Some courses are very flexible, allowing you to start on multiple dates.\u00a0The deadline for submitting applications for enrollment in university studies, which begins in September, is January, with the beginning of the Gregorian year.\u00a0There are also a limited number of undergraduate, foundation, master’s and doctoral programs that can be registered in January.\u00a0Some foundation colleges offer access to these programs on other dates throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n The UK is the best destination in the world to study English (according to Study Travel magazine, December 2012).\u00a0The UK has long been at the forefront of English language teaching, pioneering the use of the best scientific methods currently in use around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n British institutions focus on teaching English through fun and sharing rather than just listening to the teacher.\u00a0Classes include games, problem solving and discussions. Students can also listen to songs, watch movies and read magazines to practice improving their English comprehension skills.<\/span><\/p>\n Universities and colleges offer many English language courses to help international students prepare for study programs in the UK.\u00a0Universities use the term pre-sessional English courses to refer to such programmes.<\/span><\/p>\n The government has announced significant changes to the English language tests accepted for visa applications, reducing the number of tests required for these purposes and introducing a range of new requirements for the way tests are administered.\u00a0IELTS, the world’s most popular test of English for higher education and global migration, is accepted as accepted for all UK visas that require applicants to provide evidence of their level of English.<\/span><\/p>\n The UK Visas and Immigration Agency accepts IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training and IELTS Life Skills as proof of English language proficiency, but the purpose of a student’s presence in the UK is what determines which type of IELTS test the student must take. to conduct it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When we talk about the ranking of world universities, we will find that\u00a0the United Kingdom\u00a0is highly ranked.\u00a0According to\u00a0the Times World University Rankings\u00a02017-2018, the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge ranked first and second, respectively, and Imperial College London ranked eighth.
