BRITESH HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM – THE BEST IN THE WORLD

The British Universities top the International University League Tables with the distinction that two of the best three Universities of world renown are located here. Among the European Universities four of the British Universities top the list. A combination of quality, depth and breadth of syllabi and the most innovative teaching methods makes the British System of higher education most attractive to the entire world. The strength of the British system of learning lies in the fact that the students, irrespective of the level of their induction, are guided in self-learning. Unlike many other systems, here the faculty guides the students in thinking systematically so as to bring out the best in each one of them. The professors never tell them what to think, but will provide the relevant food for thought. The students churn through the information gateway opened before them by these distinguished teachers and decide on the course of action with respect to each subject matter before them. They are on their own and are encouraged to learn from their mistakes. This way the students are emboldened to face life size situations with equanimity and a practical bent of mind. Through this process they gain the faculty of accessing information, selecting the apt information, data and methodology relevant to a given proposition and apply them for solving the problems placed before them. The learning process enables the student to furnish most appropriate solutions for any given situation with efficiency, economy, and speed. Once out of the Alma Mater duly qualified in their chosen stream of study, they would invariably be equipped to face the challenges of the real world. This exactly is the difference that keeps the British System of higher learning distinct and far superior to many of the other Universities elsewhere. It is on record that learners from all parts of the world throng to the United Kingdom in large numbers to enrich their academic and professional competence. However, the Indian students followed by the Chinese stand first in the list. The salient feature of these seats of learning offering specific advantage to the students from abroad pursuing different courses of study, in brief, are the following. The UK Universities enable the foreign students to complete their courses in shorter with out diluting the course contents, standards of the syllabus and the methodology of the curriculum. The compact nature of one-year master’s course is an instant case. The one-year Master’s program is available in varied streams such as Science, Art, Finance, Commerce, and Technology etc. to name a few only. Learning here can be done while earning for financial support to pursue the academic and professional curriculums. There are Universities and Institutions offering paid internships as a part of the study itself that virtually enable the students to do practical embedded in the course while receiving monitory assistance for the study. There are a number of scholarships sponsored by the Industry, Research Institutions and other Social Organizations involved in promoting Learning and Research in various fields of study. These Scholarships are offered on merit to deserving students including those from abroad. High-end research in highly technical and scientific areas is an important feature of the British Higher learning System. Most of the prominent Institutions affiliated to the front line Universities have strong tie-ups with the industrial giants for the promotion of research in science and technology. There are unhindered opportunities to pursue high-end research, apply it into business models and to commercially exploit the findings. There are a large number of research ventures the business spin off relating to which were floated and regularly traded in the London Stock Exchange For a number of Undergraduate/ Postgraduate courses offered by world-class institutions such as Oxford or Cambridge, students from abroad will have to initiate concrete steps very early. For courses beginning September, 2008 prospective candidates will have to engage themselves in various steps right from May 2007. The British Council Libraries located in different countries have arrangement for providing such details on a regular basis. All the UK Universities and Higher Learning Institutions have web sites exhibiting all the required information

British Distance Learning - A Historic Perception

The concept of ”Distant Learning” has been in vogue since the dawn of the present century. However, due to infrastructural constraints the application of this learning method had remained dormant till recent times. The British maritime travelers, inquisitive by nature, moved around the globe acquiring knowledge of the different continents and passed on the details by word of mouth and notes in writing to their home land from time to time. The scholars in the country researched upon the valuable information so received to enrich the knowledge base of the society at large. This process of transmitting knowledge from distant places was necessitated due to the fact that the travelers used to return to home land invariably after years together. The transportation and communication systems improved by leaps and bounds over a period of time. As a result the distance learning system also underwent exponential transformation. Since the British people were dominantly in this field assimilating and disseminating their knowledge base they spontaneously became a force to be reckoned with in distance learning. There are a large number of institutions of learning in the United Kingdom imparting distance learning in every conceivable subjects, both professional and academic devoid the constraints of geographical barriers. “Distance Learning” may be defined as “Learning from a distance where the provider of learning are based at specified location, the learning accomplished from one’s home, office or from other points of assemblage of the learners.” The medium of teaching may be books, journals, abridged study materials in print, videos, audios, CD ROMs etc. Inter-active net learning has, of late, become the most popular and effective distance learning device having global access. The distance learning community affiliated to the various seats of learning of U K of late comprises of professionals, graduates, under graduates and school leavers in substantial numbers. The records of some of the leading U K Educational Institutions reveal that even senior citizens in large numbers from all over the world have joined the band wagon of distance learning. The High Band Net Access has enabled the UK Institutions to make available most of their Professional, Graduate, under-Graduate and Certificate courses to the entire world. At the same time in order to ensure that competition does not in any way dilute their credibility, reputation and standards, strict norms have been laid down and monitored by authoritative agencies of UK. In U K one would find uniform patterns followed by these institutions for the benefit of all the participants of distance learning. A few of the major participant Institutions of “Distance Learning” and the Courses offered for distance learning are listed in brief below for information.
