Undergraduate degrees at UK universities
After completing higher secondary school certificate/foundation course an international student can apply for an undergraduate degree in the UK/Canada universities. All of the overseas undergraduate applications for UK universities are managed by different organisations, which are Universities and Colleges Admission Services (UCAS. A Bachelor’s degree is the most common and widely available type of undergraduate qualification, with thousands of courses available across the UK. Studying for a bachelor’s at a UK university will give you an in-depth understanding of one or more subjects.
It typically takes three to four years of full-time study to complete a Bachelor’s degree, with many institutions offering a year in industry or study abroad programme. Some courses, such as medicine and architecture, are exceptions to this rule and run for much longer.
How a Bachelor is assessed will depend on its denomination. As well as sitting exams, BA students can expect to submit essay assignments and give presentations, while BSc students may undergo practical lab-based tests.
