This benchmark of excellence is set by world-famous universities such as Oxford, Cambridge, Aberdeen and University College London.

The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education is the key body responsible for maintaining these standards. Another reason for UK universities’ popularity among international students is the length of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the UK, i.e. 3-year undergraduate programs and 1-year postgraduate programs, which helps to keep the cost of tuition and living expenses down. On top of that, numerous scholarships and bursaries are offered to deserving students.The other reason for students to choose UK universities is the wide-range of programs offered, based on students’ interest and abilities, in highly ranked universities and colleges. All in all, studying in the UK provides a great opportunity for students to reach their potential and equips them with the skills necessary to compete in today’s diverse global job market.
