The Benefits of Studying Higher Education in the UK

The UK is considered the second most popular destination for Higher Education in the world!

The study abroad opportunities in the UK includes Bachelor programmes that are typically three years Full Time, and Master’s degrees that are taught on a one-year Full Time basis. These courses are generally shorter in length than other international countries, which helps to reduce the cost of tuition and accommodation. Furthermore, these programmes provide Canadian students with an outstanding education that is recognised globally by many international organisations and academic institutions.

According to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), the UK is still one of the most popular destinations for international students to study for a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree with over 500,000 international students registering each year. This makes the UK the second most popular destination for Higher Education in the world. Furthermore, the research that is conducted at UK universities is usually deemed as world-leading or internationally excellent.

Studying in the UK will also offer the opportunity for Canadian students to gain advanced theoretical knowledge on their chosen subjects and how this new knowledge can be applied in real-world settings. Many UK universities specialise in an approach that is both theoretical and practical; a combination that is highly attractive to international students.

At many UK universities, students also have access to a personalised international student support service, as well as a Student’s Union that offers different sports clubs and societies. International scholarships are also available. As well as an internationally recognised qualification, students will have the opportunity to meet and socialise with many other British, EU and international students, academics and other people from across the globe. This demonstrates the social benefits of the UK, and students will be able to experience a new multicultural society, visit world heritage sites, internationally famous landmarks and cultural hotspots at major cities.
