British University System
The British university system is famous for its high-quality teaching and faculty. Bachelor's degree programs last an average of three years and offer opportunities for internships and study abroad. In addition, in many undergraduate programs it is possible to be simultaneously admitted to a master's degree program, which lasts one year.
In the British system, independent learning and critical thinking are encouraged. From the outset, students start in their chosen field, which differs from other university systems, where students often choose their major in the second year.
