Type of education in UK
|
Degree courses and postgraduate study are usually called Higher Education (HE). Most professional courses, such as accountancy, finance, pharmacy, dentistry, law, medicine, etc, are offered at the Higher Education level. Degree courses lead to the award of a Bachelor's degree (or, a Master's degree). They are available from Higher Education institutions (universities, Higher Education colleges and institutions) and some Further Education institutions. Universities range in size of student numbers from less than 3,000 students to over 15,000, and teach a broad range of courses. Higher Education colleges and institutions are usually smaller than the universities. Many offer similar programmes to the universities while others specialize in specific subjects. |
