There are so many benefits of studying at a top US or UK university — including the small class sizes, Nobel Prize winning faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, high graduating salaries, powerful alumni and more….

But in summary, the top 5 benefits may be:

1. Intimate Classes
While local universities may offer a 20:1 student/faculty ratio, schools like the Ivy League come in at about 6:1 while Oxford’s and Cambridge’s world-renowned tutorial system sees students working with their professors in groups of 3 or 4!

2. Campus Life
All those pictures of Ivy covered buildings, opulent dining halls and residential colleges where life-long friendships are made don’t come close to showcasing the endless advantages of experiencing life on campus at a US or UK university – rich with history and students diversity.

3. Location
From the buzzing city life of New York or London, to the classic college towns of Oxford or Princeton, the US and UK offer a plethora of location choices with plenty of options for you depending on your preferred campus experience.

4. Learning from the best of the best
Top universities in the US and UK attract some of the brightest minds in the world, with Nobel, Pulitzer, and other globally recognized STEM and Humanities Awards winners as part of the university faculty fabric. (Take a look at our Battle of the Best Universities for World Leaders blog to learn more!)

5. Networking and higher salaries post graduation
A top US or UK university degree opens doors to a world of alumni connections and opportunities — and to the salaries that accompany a prestigious degree (many of which are up to or over $50K USD higher than a first-year graduate’s average salary)

The Uk education system consists of three levels. Everybody in the UK, from age of 5 till 16 is required to attend the school. This education is divided into two sections: Primary and Secondary School after which students can choose to go for higher education.

Level 1

Primary Education

Level 2

Secondary Education
