Quality education, quality qualifications

The British education system has a long history of producing high-quality research and graduates, which is why UK institutions are ranked among the best in the world. Students who studied and got degrees in the United Kingdom have a significant edge in terms of receiving high-quality learning experiences.

A variety of opportunities

The United Kingdom boasts around 180 universities and alternative education institutions, 500 schools, and 600 boarding schools, providing overseas students with numerous options. At the same time, the UK has some of the world's top universities and a wide range of courses in a variety of subjects. Educonsultancy tries to find the best solutions for each individual's goals and interests.

Model of elite education

The British educational system tries to foster creativity, analytical ability, and research skills in order to promote students' critical thinking and ability to challenge established concepts, as well as their ability to collaborate to solve complex challenges. While the goal is to improve academic performance and language abilities, students will also have the opportunity to practice innovation and independence, providing a solid basis for their future employment.

Economically beneficial

In the United Kingdom, a bachelor's degree can be completed in three years, although most other countries require four. A lot of time and money can be saved by skipping the fourth year. Furthermore, with a degree from a UK university, it is considerably easier to continue on to a postgraduate course anywhere in the globe.

Language and culture

As the birthplace of the English language, the United Kingdom is the most authentic environment in which to learn the language. Students learning languages can learn about Europe's rich culture and history while also experiencing local customs firsthand.

A civilization that is forward-thinking

The United Kingdom is one of the world's top ten greatest economies, with decreased social turmoil and improved attitudes against discrimination. Strict anti-gun regulations and effective policing, as well as warm and welcoming residents, make it an ideal location for young students to live and learn.

Geographic connections to Europe

Studying in the UK, which is located between Western Europe and Scandinavia and has excellent transportation links to the rest of Europe, is an excellent way to extend your perspectives and get to know the continent better. Since 2014, the UK government has implemented a number of new visa laws aiming at making travel easier and providing more incentives to students and their parents.

Opportunities of work placement

As a student in the United Kingdom, you are permitted to work up to 20 hours a week part-time and have the same rights as full-time employees. Career Services at UK universities also offer a wealth of assistance and connections to internships for launching your graduate career later on. Aside from your academic credentials, the experience you earn makes you an even more appealing prospect for employment in a competitive labor market.
