Today 400 thousand students for various reasons to receive an education of Britain on the British educational institutions located outside the country - it is cheaper and often closer to home. But still a significant number of students the experience of living in this country appreciate no less than received a diploma, and that is why my dream is to study in the UK.

First education reform in Britain concerned with the technical professions and institutions.

At the same time, and school education became universal and free, which is to this day – although, of course, the choice remained, and, instead of the public schools parents can send their children to paid private.

In addition, the most important task was to make education in the UK for foreigners first in the world in attractiveness. We can confidently say that this task Britain has done: today, 157 higher education institutions entitled to confer bachelor's and master's degrees within the country and more than 550 out of the country.

The education system in Britain includes the following levels (names are in Russian and English):

  • Back to school - pre-school;
  • Primary and secondary school education - elementary/secondary school;
  • Preparation for University - A-level, International Foundation, international baccalaureate
  • Vocational training - further education;
  • First degree – bachelor's, baccalaureate;
  • Second degree – master's, masters;
  • Postgraduate research programmes - doctorate.
