UК Higher Education System

The largest group of higher education qualifications is bachelor’s degrees. Programmes leading to a bachelor’s degree are normally of three or four years’ duration for full-time students. A three-year course is more common, also there are four-year programmes for languages and for ‘sandwich’ courses that include a year abroad or a work experience year. Most, but not all, higher education institutions (HEIs) use credit-based systems in the design and management of curricula.

Degree awarding institutions arе responsible for the design of their own programmes and awards. The number of different courses offered is very high though the number has reduced in recent years. Programmes typically focus on a particular subject area, but there are also combined studies programmes involving two, or possibly three, specializations. Institutions which were originally set up as, for example, institutes of technology, but which subsequently gained university title, tend to retain a strong focus on their original specialism.

Teaching methods are decided by the individual teacher, department, faculty or institution, or a combination of these. Most courses involve both formal lectures and less formal seminars, in which students are encouraged to participate and lead discussions. Certain courses require practical sessions such as work in a laboratory for science subjects and oral classes for foreign languages.

Distance learning is increasingly available. The Open University admitted its first students in 1971 and is now a major provider of distance learning and the UK’s largest university in terms of student numbers. Other institutions also increasingly provide courses on this basis.
