Why we went UK for education


Check out this blog post for the triple-advantage of living, studying and working in the UK. If you’re thinking about an overseas university experience, consider the United Kingdom (UK). The UK boasts Grade ‘A’ universities - that is, universities that score well in international rankings - and excellent value for money. It’s also home to some of the world's best educational institutions for study abroad programs, boasting renowned schools like Oxford University and University College London (UCL). Here at GradeAStudent.co.uk, we've teamed up with top universities in the UK to offer scholarships for specialised degrees to provide students bold enough to live life on their own terms with tuition fee discounts worth up to £30k.


Why are UK universities the best?

When you study in the UK, you can explore places like London, Edinburgh, Cambridge and Oxford. Those living in bigger cities will have a more vibrant experience than those who live in rural areas. The city of London alone has over 2000 museums and galleries, along with parks, theatres, and many other things to do.

We’re also huge fans of the UK education system. The quality of higher education is high, with courses such as medicine, engineering, architecture, and even law, all highly rated. The UK has some of the best teachers in the world, with an average salary of over £50k.


How do UK universities differ from US universities?


There are many similarities between UK universities and those in the US, but there are also some big differences. For example, some UK universities charge students to attend classes, while others do not. The latter is known as the “student-fees-free” system.

However, UK universities are renowned for their student-focused approach. Students have a great degree of freedom over their time, as they do not have to work while they are studying. They also have a huge choice of classes, with around 2,000 students in each lecture theatre. In the US, the amount of choices available to students is much smaller.

In the UK, universities are also very accessible to people of all different abilities and financial backgrounds.
