There are several differences between the US and the UK education systems. The main one is that UK degrees are often shorter than those studied in the USA. A Bachelors degree in England is typically three years in length and a Masters degree is typically one year. Because we teach a shorter programme there is no generalised year and students choose their major at the point of application and study that subject for the duration of their course.For students who know what subject they want to study, this is a great benefit. You aren’t usually required to take modules from other subject areas and you can focus on the one subject that interests you. This can save time and money as well as prepare you for a career in your chosen industry.
