​​Where is it better to study - in the UK or the United States? 🤔

Both countries are highly popular among international students, and both of them can provide students with a high-quality education. However, the UK and USA systems of education and the process of studying are different. Let's talk about the peculiarities of studying in England and the USA according to the key factors.

🇺🇸What are the main pros of studying in the U.S?🇺🇸

🔹The period of study for a bachelor's degree in U.S. universities is 4 years, to get a master's degree, you will need another 2 years.
🔹Universities provide an extensive set of specialties and programs. Studying is structured as a liberal arts and sciences system - with a general education program first, followed by specialization.
🔹The focus is on lecture classes with 25 to 400 students. There are some lectures where you can see discussion in groups, but only as an accompanying component
🔹In the process of studying there's an emphasis on practical exercises so that the future specialist builds up competence.
🔹After graduation, it takes an average of 1-3 years to find a job.

🇬🇧The UK: what are the advantages for foreigners?

🔹 You only have to spend 3 years at the desk to get a bachelor's degree, then another year for a master's degree.
🔹British universities offer the opportunity to get an education in specialty programs, the choice of which is significant.
🔹All the time is supposed to be spent on mastering the future profession.
🔹The focus is on teaching in small groups. Much of the undergraduate degree is handled in seminars of 20 (or less) students.
🔹Studying is inseparable from practice, which plays a special role in British universities. Studies without it are not considered full-fledged.
🔹It takes up to two years to find a job in the chosen field of study.

❓What about you? Do you vote for the U.S. or the UK?
