Aside from central government, there are a variety of organizations designed to support, regulate and fund institutions, as well as the institutions themselves. Some are government departments, others are formed by institutional membership.

Academic culture

UK degrees are designed to encourage students to develop independence and individuality. Great emphasis is placed on the value of self expression and originality, and students are encouraged to develop their own opinions early on in their degree program.

Students will engage in practical work as well as learning factual and theoretical data. Both are important foundations for all degree programs and students are encouraged to develop a critical approach alongside their own perspective. UK Universities help students to understand the context of the subject they are learning.

Students are encouraged to take the initiative and develop independent research and study. Help is available for students who need it or ask for it through tutors and support staff.

All students find the transition from high school to university challenging, and some will adapt more easily than others. International students sometimes have to face different cultural as well as academic challenges, and UK institutions have developed a supportive environment for international students through dedicated international student support officers and tutors.

It is also important to help students to look beyond the degree when choosing university and into what student life and leadership opportunities they may have, such as:

Leadership opportunities

Most universities will host a welcome event for international students and Freshers’ week to welcome new students.

Students are suggested to join clubs and societies to meet friends and to make the transition easier.

Students’ Unions are typically housed in their own buildings and have social areas, shops, places to eat and drink and event spaces. Many have banks, hairdressers and travel agents.

Students’ Unions also offer support in areas such as finance, accommodation, disability and more.

Most Students’ Unions in the UK are represented by the National Union of Students (NUS): www.nus.org.uk

Students’ Union

Settling in

Becoming a student representive for their program of study or accommodation unit.

Running for office in clubs and societies, and the Students’ and Athletics Unions.

Volunteering in the local area through the Students’ Unions.

Lectures are typically larger classes that last around one hour where a lecturer/tutor will guide students through the course material by explaining the main points. Lecture sizes vary significantly. A large lecture would typically have 150 students, with more average lectures having 60 students.

Seminars are smaller classes where a tutor and students can discuss a topic to encourage a debate. As the class sizes are smaller in the UK, there is often little distinction between a seminar and a lecture.

Tutorials are meetings between a tutor and an individual/small group of students to give more focused guidance on a student’s past, present and future work.

Practical work is intended to give practical experiences of the theories learnt in other classes and to develop practical skills.

Workplace in a work environment under the supervision of a professional.

Independent learning and group study is required by courses and will require students to work on their own and in small groups to produce work for class.

Seeking help Students are encouraged to go to their lecturers if they need help with a course. Most lecturers have dedicated hours each week set aside to see students and many also operate open-door policies.

Studying in the UK gives students access to world leading academics and facilities in an international learning environment. Most British universities boast on-time graduation rates of over 90% with equally impressive progression rates into further study or employment within six months. The British model emphasizes independent scholarship and critical thinking. Students enter into a focused program of study and the majority of their classes will be directly relevant to their chosen major. Students progress through their program with peers who share their interests. They will be able to immerse themselves in a subject, studying a broad range of areas within their specialism. The admissions process reflects the focused nature of the UK’s education model and therefore the approach is similar to a graduate application in Canada.

The UK has 134 universities.

29 are on the World's

Top 200 list.

www.ucas.com/how-it-all-works

Schools provide predicted grades as part of the application process.

Predicted grades play a strong role in whether a student is given a conditional offer or not.

School teachers should predict a grade based on their professional judgment, the student’s past performance and current progress, the school’s historical performance.

Universities appreciate that grade predictions are an imperfect science!


Offers

An institutions makes one of four decisions:

• Unconditional offer: Accepted

• Conditional offer: Applicant will be accepted if they meet criteria as stated by institution

• Unsuccessful: not accepted

• A University may also offer to place a student on an alternative course.

Conditional offer example: if a student is taking two AP classes, the university may require 3 in each class. If the student successfully gets over a 3, they are guaranteed acceptance into the institution.

Acceptance

Students must decide which offer to accept once they have received decisions from all of the institutions. A student can respond in three ways to their offers:

• Firm acceptance: their first choice

• Insurance acceptance: acts as a back-up (optional)

Guidance for students with specific needs and interests

Sports and student athletes 48Religious observances 48Students with disabilities 49LGBT culture 49


The UK has a multicultural society and British universities recruit students from around the world. As such, UK universities are home to students of multiple faiths and support students in the observance of different religions and beliefs. The UK is officially a Christian country and observes religious holidays based on the Christian calendar. However, with a significant population who practice other faiths, there are celebrations and observance days for a wide range of religions in the UK.

Many British universities have officially designated representatives across multiple faiths and religions who are able to introduce students to their local community.

Generally, UK universities avoid scheduling compulsory activities during religious holidays for students whose commitment to the observance of their faith would otherwise cause them to miss the assessment or other activity. University policies offer flexibility to students if observance of a religious holiday prevents a student from attending class or completing an assignment if discussed with a lecturer in advance.

Religious observance in UK universities

For some students, sport plays a significant role in university life as it provides the opportunity to engage in inter-university tournaments and sports clubs that are run and managed by students and institutions. UK universities have a history of providing a nominated day per week for sport, to enable students to fit it into their studies. Most universities have on-campus sports facilities, including gym and track and field spaces.

As well as official sports clubs run by the institution, there are often societies that are formed by students through the students’ union representing sports from ice hockey to tae kwon do and everything in between. If students play a sport that is not represented, they are able to start their own society and during the first few weeks of term, there is usually a sports and societies week that enables students to find a society that they would like to join and students can join more than one!

Universities have strong links with the community and across the UK are leisure and professional sports clubs who welcome new members. Local clubs are usually friendly and small membership fees may apply depending on the sport. If students wish to join a sports club or private gym, they should always check whether there is a student discount.

British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS), the national governing body for Higher Education sports in the UK, covers 16 offical sports.

Find out more at www.bucs.org.uk

Most universities in the UK do not offer tuition scholarships on the basis of athletic ability. However, many UK universities offer scholarships for elite athletes to enable them to excel in their sport while in higher education. These scholarships vary in value and cover costs such as equipment, physiotherapy, specialist coaching and related travel.

Sports and student athletesBritish universities provide excellent support facilities for students who have disabilities and offer additional tailored support for students who need it. While all UK universities offer strong services in this area there are variations in the level of support offered to meet particular needs. Students should contact the disability support office on campus early in the application process to ensure that the university has the resources and capabilities to meet students’ needs.

The Disability Discrimination Act of 1995 prohibits education and training providers to discriminate against disabled people. Universities are required to make reasonable adjustments to serve disabled students so they are not at a substantial disadvantage.

There is limited funding for international disabled students, but sponsors may have additional grants to cover extra expenses a student may have due to his/her disability.

It’s useful to speak to individual institutions about services and support available for students with disabilities as it differs from every institution.

Students with disabilities

UK Universities are inclusive organisations who do not discriminate on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity and there is a LGBT community in most UK universities. Some institutions offer support groups and host events for their LGBT communities.

There are a number of laws in the UK that prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation and universities must comply with that law.

The UK has a thriving LGBT community and there are national and local events as well as a range of specialist publications that cover LGBT news. Some useful resources include:

PinkNews covers LGBT events in the UK and provides an LGBT guide to the UK.

Stonewall a LGBT charity in the UK, offers political and legal information about LGBT issues in the UK.

UK Gay News provides LGBT news in the UK and around the world.

Gay by Degree - gaybydegree.org.uk a guide for lesbian, gay and bisexual prospective students and all those in between.

VisitLondon has developed Gay London, an iOS app, to help find LGBT-friendly establishments in the London.

LGBT culture in the UK

The UK was ranked the best country in Europe to be gay. (ILGA Europe)

Important tools

There are many resources available for you as a counselor and your students.

League tables should not be used in isolation but are a good source to help students start researching their university options.

League tables are helpful indications of what previous students thought about a course, costs, kinds of jobs or further study which student went on to do after completing their course. Each course and university will be different for everyone.

Some information is retrospective so be careful to check which year the data refers to. When comparing data for courses, care should be taken where the differences between courses are small. Take note of number of respondents to the survey for each course.

Keep in mind

Many newspapers publish university and subject league tables (or rankings) that allow you to search for and compare data and information on university and colleges from across the UK. University rankings give an indication of a universities overall strengths while subject rankings provide an indication of the strengths of a university in a student’s chosen major. Given the focused nature of the UK system, subject rankings are the most relevant.

Official league tables are published by The Guardian, Times Higher Education, The Times and The Sunday Times, and the Complete University Guide, among others, based on comparable information. Each source calculates its rankings with different criteria and methodology that are explained on their website.

What are league tables?
