In the UK there're 47 universities, polytechnics and other institutions. Students must pay tuition but according toi their parents' income, they may receive grants from Local Education Authority to cover their tuition and a part of their living expenses. Many students look for part time or holiday work, anyway.
Graduate courses are full-time and attendance of lectures, seminars and tutorials is compulsory. Students mast take exams during their studies and they are usually not allowed to re-take them if they fail.
Degree courses usually last three years. After the final exams, students are awarded the title of BA (Bachelor of Arts) or BSc (Bachelor of Science). after two more years, they may acquire the title of MA ( Master of Arts) of MSc (Master of Science). Then, after some research, PhD (Doctor of Philosophy).
The National Curriculum originated in The Education Reform Act accepted by the British government in 1989. It divides subjects into core subjects, foundation subjects and extra subjects.
• Core subjects are English, Maths, Science (it includes Biology, Physics, Chemistry)
• Foundation subjects are History, Geography, Technology, Music, Art, PE, Modern Language (French or German).
• Extra subjects are all electives (religion, civics, craft,...).
