United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is home to the oldest universities and colleges in the world. Besides that, their education is considered one of the highest quality of education in the world. You may have seen some UK universities in the top of the rankings list worldwide. It is also one of the most popular study destination options for Malaysian students. These are some of the reasons why Malaysian students will choose the United Kingdom.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

It’s a fact! Universities in the United Kingdom have one of the best standards of education worldwide. If you have ever seen a world ranking list, you would most likely have seen some UK universities ranked in the top 10 like University of Cambridge or University of Oxford. Other universities in the UK teach practical and utility based knowledge as part of their syllabus, instead of the typical textbook learning that we normally do during high school. As a result, you will acquire the critical thinking and analytical skills required for your chosen course.

SHORTER DURATION

Courses in the UK education system are shorter and more intensive than many other countries, which means you’ll graduate sooner, and without compromising on quality. While you can complete an undergraduate program in three years, you’ll be able to finish a graduate program in just one year. This not only saves your time, but also a chunk of money spent on tuition fees and living costs.

WORK AND STUDY

It’s true! Students are allowed to work 20 hours per week during term time and work full time during semester breaks. This will allow for students to manage their finances while studying in the United Kingdom. This is to allow for students to gain industry experience even before they graduate from university. From 1st July 2021, international students who have successfully completed an undergraduate or master’s degree will be able to benefit from two years’ work experience in the UK upon graduation, through the new Graduate Route. Students who complete their PhD will be able to stay for three years.

EXPLORE EUROPE!

Since it is just next door! The United Kingdom is located just right next to Europe which makes the United Kingdom well connected to major European countries like France, Netherlands or Belgium. It is only a train ride away! There is also an option to travel by flight since there are fully functioning airports in the UK that are well connected to these European countries. This makes a great opportunity to travel while studying in the UK.

STUNNING LANDSCAPES

Parallel to its long history of providing quality education, the UK also holds some of the world’s most diverse and breathtaking landscapes. From architectural landscapes like Tower Bridge, The Shard, medieval castles and cathedrals across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, to natural landscapes like Lake District, Scottish Highlands, Cotswolds, Snowdonia and many more, you’ll have endless choices to explore during your time in the UK.
