the Indian education system of 3 year graduation.
British Education has long attracted and welcomed
high caliber students of different nationalities and
backgrounds, and today builds on hundreds of years
of experience in providing quality education to international
students. To ensure that the quality is maintained,

is very low.

students. With more than 150 institutes of higher
education to choose from, all equipped with extensive
facilities, UK is able to offer a broad spectrum of
subjects from the highly academic to the purely practical

institutions are not required to obtain permission
from the jobcentre to take spare time and vacation
work.
• One centralized application form for six undergraduate
courses and generally no application fee for postgraduate
courses.
• In the UK, most undergraduate degrees take
only 3 years while postgraduate degrees take one year;

on course fees.
• Educational institutions are constantly monitored
and reviewed to ensure that courses offered are of
high quality.

most recognized and respected worldwide.

students in the UK education system.
• Health insurance is free to students who are

UK, so chances of accessing the education system are
high.
• UK is the gateway to Europe, rich in history
and has welcomed international students for hundreds
of years.
Qualifications Offered:
• First Degree Courses in Arts and Sciences
(Bachelor's degree) are normally of three or four
years' duration and are largely taught courses, sometimes
including the preparation of a short written thesis.
• Sandwich Courses are where the coursework
is accompanied by practical work. A student could
either complete 2 years of college, then a year of
commercial training before returning for a final year
in college. Or, he/she could do a 4-year course with
3 to 6 months’ training interspersed each year.
The main advantage is that the student gets real experience
while in the learning mode. Most universities offer
this type of education.
• Higher National Diploma (HND) is awarded by
Vocational and Technical Educational Councils. They
offer a 2-year course in a vocational subject like
scientific and technical business subjects. Great
emphasis is placed on work experience. It is often
seen as the first step towards a degree course as
the credits can be transferred.
• Vocational Courses offer an opportunity to
enter the university system slowly. Business and Technology
Education Council (BTEC), General Vocational Qualifications
(GNVQ), General Scottish Vocational Qualifications
(GSVQ) offer recognized courses in a range of disciplines.
Most students opt to take 1 to 2 years of, for example,
BTEC courses before being transferred to a degree
programme. BTEC national certificates/diplomas are
usually accepted as an alternative to A-Levels.
• Postgraduate study may take the form of an
independent piece of research under supervision or
a taught course, and leads to a variety of degrees
and awards. The taught courses normally last for one
or sometimes two years. Completion of a doctorate
normally takes a minimum of three years. Many post-experience
courses are also available, either leading to a qualification
or providing a refresher course for graduates wishing
to update or extend their knowledge. Occasionally,
students are admitted by some institutions in limited
numbers. They attend courses or undertake research,
possibly for a period of one or two years. These courses
do not lead to any formal qualification or 'credit'
although certificate of satisfactory attendance may
be given.
Eligibility for Admission:
• Undergraduate(Bachelor’sLevel)
British students undergo thirteen years of pre-university
education as compared to twelve years in India. Outstanding
marks from one of the two Central Boards (CBSE or
ICSE) or their equivalent, or the first year of an
Indian degree program are therefore usually required
for direct entry into an undergraduate program in
the UK. For those who do not, as yet, have these qualifications,
there is a range of access or foundation courses available.
Foundation courses range from four months to a year
Applicants must satisfy both general and course requirements
for admissions:
• GeneralRequirements
A specified number of subject passes at both GCE "A"
Levels and GCSE at grade C minimum is required for
admissions in the UK educational system. An equivalent
Indian qualification is a good score in the CBSE or
ICSE.
• CourseRequirements
Course requirement details can be obtained from prospectuses
of institutions which are available at the Education
Counseling Service located in the British Council
offices or Libraries.
• Important
For Entry into Oxford, Cambridge and London University,
‘A’ level results are required. This in
Indian context would mean one year in a college after
12 years of education.
• PostGraduate(Master's&Doctoratelevel)
Most UK universities accept the Indian graduation
system of three years for entry into most postgraduate
courses. An Indian bachelor’s degree like B.A.,
B.Com. or B.Sc. is equivalent to a British Bachelor
(Ordinary) Degree. However, some courses and universities
may require a qualification equivalent to British
Bachelor (Honours) Degree, which requires 16 years
of formal education, which would mean another year
after graduation or a four year degree course like
B.E., B.Tech or other such courses.
For most Universities, a good first degree from a
leading university in India or its equivalent is essential.
