British Council Separates Fact From Fiction on UK Study

Some students dream of studying in the United Kingdom, but they often hear things that are not true.

The British Council, an organisation that helps people learn about UK education, wants to fix that.

Some people think studying in the UK is only for very rich students.

But scholarships can help pay for school, and degrees are shorter there.

Most bachelor's degrees take just three years, and master's degrees often take only one year.

Students do not have to figure everything out alone, either.

They can talk to universities directly at events like the Study UK Open Day in Kolkata.

After finishing their degree, some students can even stay in the UK to work using the Graduate Route.

Not every university charges an application fee, though students should check each university's own rules.

The British Council wants students to make smart, informed choices about studying in the UK.
