We have 3 in the global top 10, over 30 in the global top 200 and~90 in the global top 1,000. Considering the UK is such a small country, its university reputation is outstanding. A UK degree is recognised by employers globally.  \nStudent Satisfaction  \nStudents report at least 90% satisfaction with their experience in the UK. The UK has the highest international student experience satisfaction ratings for English-speaking countries. The UK is popular with international students from allover the world.  \nInternational  \nNearly 20% of students at UK universities are from outside the UK, according to the British Council. Additionally, almost 30% of academic staff at UK universities are international, coming from ~180 different countries.  \nWhat about Brexit?  \nBritish universities are international communities and won’t stop being so as a result of Brexit. However, fees may change, so our advice is to research and speak to your university.  \nDifferent Types of Degree  \nWhen choosing a university in the UK, the most important consideration is the type of course you want to study. There are different types of degree offered in the UK: honours degrees, foundation degrees, and diplomas. Foundation degrees are training degrees of a less academic nature and relate to vocational areas. Diploma courses are at a lower level than degree courses; successful completion of the first year or two of such courses can lead on acceptance on to an honours degree.  \nTraining  \nThese are degrees that train students to do a particular type of work (such as medicine, education or engineering). This type of degree is associated with higher employment rates and higher graduate starting salaries. The highest rate of employment, as reported by HESA (the Higher Education Statistics Agency) is for students graduating with a degree in medicine, subjects allied to medicine, Biological sciences and Veterinary sciences.  \nVocational  \nThese degrees impart skills that are useful to a particular area of employment, but are not the only entry route to that type of work.
