About United Kingdom

 Why study in UK

The education system in the UK is divided into four main parts, primary education, secondary education, further education and higher education. Children in the UK have to legally attend primary and secondary education which runs from about 5 years old until the student is 16 years old.

The education system in the UK is also split into "key stages" which breaks down as follows:

1. Key Stage 1 - 5 to 7 years old

2. Key Stage 2 - 7 to 11 years old

3. Key Stage 3 - 11 to 14 years old

4. Key Stage 4 - 14 to 16 years old

Generally key stages 1 and 2 will be undertaken at primary school and at 11 years old a student will move onto secondary school and finish key stages 3 and 4.

There are plenty of reasons why you should choose a postgraduate course in the UK. For a start, most master's degrees and MBAs at UK universities last one year compared to two in most other countries, including the USA and Australia. Choosing the UK means that you only have to pay tuition fees for one year and you'll be back in the workplace before you know it.

While you're here, you'll be immersed in English, the world's most important business language. At the same time, you'll be part of a truly international community - 29.9 per cent of postgraduate students in the UK are international and you may find as many as 50 different nationalities on a single campus. With such fantastic experience behind you, you'll be ready to hit the ground running by the time you finish your course.
