in the UK that regularly assesses the education standards of all
universities and colleges in the country. Besides checking their
performances through audits and subject reviews, it and helps
identify the best education practices and sends feedback for
improvisation. These research standards are also examined by
the UK higher education funding bodies, who publish their
findings at regular intervals. This is ensures all students have
access to the best quality of learning, research and teaching
irrespective of the course they choose to pursue.

Courses in the UK education system are shorter and more
intensive than many other countries, which means you’ll
graduate sooner, and without compromising on quality. While

you’ll be able to finish a graduate program or postgraduation in
UK in just one year. This not only saves your time, but also a
chunk of money spent on tuition fees and living costs.

studies, you can work part-time for up to 20 hours a week during

break. This will help you pay for your bills as well as gain
industry experience in your own field of study as well.
