Studying in the UK will open doors to the many opportunities British universities offer their students. Here are some of the exciting opportunities you could choose to take advantage of:
🎓 Begin studying your intended subject right off the bat. The education system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland doesn’t require general education credits the way that most North American universities do. This means that you get right into the nitty gritty of your subject matter from the start and helps to explain why many degrees are shorter than American equivalents.
🎓 If you're not sure you're quite ready to jump into a focused subject, a Scottish university may be a great option! The American university system is based on the Scottish system, which offers a four-year undergraduate program and thus has a little more leeway. At most Scottish universities, you can enter university knowing the general direction you want to go in – i.e. the Sciences, and then decide your specific focus later on.

🎓 Take another language as part of your degree (or in addition to it). Maybe you want to learn a new language, or further develop existing language skills. Many universities offer language skills certificates that you can earn in addition to your degree.
🎓 Go on an exchange to another exciting country for a semester or a year, either to practice another language, or just for the experience!
🎓 Explore opportunities for internships / work placements or part-time jobs alongside your studies or during holidays.
🎓 Add one year work experience / placement as part of your degree. What is better to get into working life as a recent graduate with a year of relevant work experience in your luggage?
