UK Education System

UK education system

Education in the UK is internationally recognised for its quality and variety. The UK's top priority is to pursue the highest possible standards and to ensure access to good education for every child, young person and citizen. EU and overseas students from all over world come to the UK for an first-class education. The welcome, the culture and the richness of experience that comes from living in the UK is an education in itself.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of international students come to study in the UK because we offer such outstanding opportunities. There is a huge range of degree courses offered by more than 180 institutions - the University of London alone has more than 40 institutions. You can study towards internationally-recognised qualifications in medicine, law, accountancy, architecture and other professions; or in the arts, media, humanities, business, science and technology. There is a spectrum of research and postgraduate degrees where students are guided by academic supervisors with world-class reputations. For families from the EU and overseas living in the UK, each community is served with a choice of state-run and independent schools. There are also international schools, boarding schools and specialist schools which provide education from nursery to university.
