单选题 {{B}}Text 3{{/B}}
Students come to study in UK from all over the world. There are currently more than 270,000 international students in the UK. Of that number, about 75% are on higher education courses, with 130,500 (almost equal numbers of men and women) studying full-time undergraduate courses.
Why do they come here? Why should you consider doing the same? First, you will gain a high quality qualification that is recognized worldwide. Thousands of international students have used their UK qualifications to get a good job. Just make sure that if you have a particular job and qualification in mind you check before you apply that the qualification will be recognized by employers in your own country.
Second, if English is not your mother tongue, you will probably be completely fluent by the time you graduate.
One of other reasons for studying here is the ease of UK application system. Instead of applying to several different universities or colleges, taking their admissions tests and paying their application fee, you can do it all on one form. You may choose up to six courses. Send the form to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) and their staffwill deal with the application for you.
If your school, college or nearest British Council office has access to the system, you can even complete the form electronically through the Internet.
