Typically, most students start university straight after, or a year after leaving school. Entrance is most commonly dependent on the results of A level or International Baccalaureate exams, taken before leaving school.
Most university undergraduate degrees in England last three years, although an increasing number are four years in duration with an option to spend a year in another country.
Employers have a good knowledge of the top UK universities and degrees. They look for certain attributes from graduates and we know exactly which courses, degree programs and universities are likely to open doors to subsequent careers. |
