British Education has
always attracted high caliber students
of different nationalities and
backgrounds, and today builds on
hundreds of years of experience in
providing quality education to
international students. To ensure that
the quality is maintained, Britain has
implemented unrivalled quality assurance
and academic audit systems.
The university
departments are obliged to meet
stringent academic standards. The
standards are high not just in teaching
and learning but in other facilities
such as libraries, computers, research
equipment and so forth. British higher
education provides value for money by
offering shorter, more intensive courses
than those available in many other
countries, thereby reducing living
expenses and time spent away from home.
Closely supervised study in an
intellectually and culturally
stimulating environment, together with
an emphasis on student welfare and close
contact between staff and students also
ensures that individual students get
maximum support and, as a result, pass
rates are high and the drop-out rate for
international students is very low.
Britain has long been a popular
destination for Nepali students. With
more than 150 institutes of higher
education to choose from, all equipped
with extensive facilities, Britain is
able to offer a broad spectrum of
subjects from the highly academic to the
purely practical in anything from
architecture to zoology.
Details about various
Qualifications offered by UK Colleges
and Universities
-
First Degree Courses in
Arts and Sciences (Bachelor's degree)
are normally of three or four years'
duration and are largely taught courses,
sometimes including the preparation of a
short written thesis.
-
Sandwich Courses are
where the coursework is accompanied by
practical work. A student could either
complete 2 years of college, then a year
of commercial training before returning
for a final year in college. Or, he/she
could do a 4-year course with 3-6
months’ training interspersed each year.
The main advantage is that the student
gets real experience while in the
learning mode. Most universities offer
this type of education.
-
Higher National Diploma
(HND) is awarded by Vocational and
Technical Educational Councils. They
offer a 2-year course in a vocational
subject like scientific and technical
business subjects. Great emphasis is
placed on work experience. It is often
seen as the first step towards a degree
course as the credits can be
transferred.
-
Vocational Courses
offer an opportunity to enter the
university system slowly. Business and
Technology Education Council (BTEC),
General Vocational Qualifications (GNVQ),
General Scottish Vocational
Qualifications (GSVQ) offer recognized
courses in a range of disciplines. Most
students opt to take 1-2 years of, for
example, BTEC courses before being
transferred to a degree programme. BTEC
national certificates/diplomas are
usually accepted as an alternative to
A-Levels.
-
Postgraduate study may
take the form of an independent piece of
research under supervision or a taught
course, and leads to a variety of
degrees and awards. The taught courses
normally last for one or sometimes two
years. Completion of a doctorate
normally takes a minimum of three years.
Many post-experience courses are also
available, either leading to a
qualification or providing a refresher
course for graduates wishing to update
or extend their knowledge.
Occasional students are
admitted by some institutions in limited
numbers. They attend courses or
undertake research, possibly for a
period of one or two years. These
courses do not lead to any formal
qualification or 'credit' although
certificate of satisfactory attendance
may be given. Fate International
Education, has helped many Nepalese
students to get admissions into British
educational institutions since its
inception.
We have developed
partnerships with many British
educational institutions for student
recruitment from Nepal. Expert study
abroad counselors at Fate guides
prospective students on choosing the
best educational institution in the UK
to their individual needs. We not only
help students on choosing the best
college and getting admission but help
them by providing the best IELTS
preparation class. Apart from these
services we also help students with
their student visa application. Above
all we also provide our students with
interview preparation sessions, which
will help them boost their confidence
for successful visa interview at the
British embassy. |
