Education System in United Kingdom?
The UK is made up of 4 different countries - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern
Ireland. The education system in Scotland differs at school and undergraduate level
to the other countries who follow a similar system.
Education in the UK is compulsory for everyone between the ages of five and sixteen,
and is provided by two kinds of schools: independent (fee-charging) schools and
state-funded schools.
Education System in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Primary School
Children normally start school at the age of 5 and move to secondary school at the
age of 11. Pre-school programmes are also available to students at the age of 3
or 4.
Secondary School and Post-Sixteen Education
All UK universities teach students to at least the age of 16 to prepare them for
GSCEs or equivalent qualifications. Following this students can stay on to study
for AS levels (one additional year), A levels (2 additional years) or equivalent
vocational qualifications. These qualifications can be done in a school, sixth-form
college or college of further education.
Post Eighteen Education
Students normally commence higher education at the age of 18 and study at university
or colleges of further and higher education. A Bachelor degree programme normally
lasts for 3-4 years, a Masters degree programme for 1 year and a Doctoral degree
programme for 3-4 years. The UK government is currently aiming for 50% of students
to continue in education after the age of 18.
Education System in Scotland
The education system in Scotland is slightly different that the rest of the UK and
the main differences are as follows: Students can enter university at the age of
17 rather than 18 as university courses in Scotland are normally one year longer
than in England. Students sit Standard Grades rather than GCSEs. Students sit Highers
and Advanced Highers rather than AS levels and A levels. Between the ages of 16-18
years students in Scotland often study a broader curriculum than in other parts
of the UK and often do not specialise in the sciences, arts, humanities until they
enter university.
