Access Cutting-Edge Research

The UK is at the forefront of innovative research and emerging technologies, giving students exposure to insights and experiences that are high in demand around the world. Students in the UK have an opportunity to collaborate on groundbreaking research, get their hands on the latest technology, and learn from the brilliant thinkers who are amongst the best minds in their fields.
The UK undertakes 5 per cent of the world's scientific research and produces 14 per cent of the world's most frequently cited papers.
Academic programs (referred to as ‘courses’ in the UK) are generally shorter in the UK than many other countries. British students can earn a Bachelor’s degree after three years of full-time study, and complete a Master’s degree course in one year.  However, the “sand-wich course” is increasing in popularity, which is four years and involves one year in the workplace (normally in your third year. In contrast, it can take a total of six to seven years to earn the same degrees in Canada and the USA. The shorter study duration helps to reduce overall tuition fees and accommodation costs, thus making the UK an attractive study option.
Furthermore, students can pick and choose from over 50,000 academic programs (referred to as courses in the UK) in more than 25 subject areas in the UK. British universities offer flexibility, allowing students to choose from different subject ‘modules’ and tailor their studies to suit their interests and career aspirations.
