HELLO!
Welcome to this guide to Higher Education in the United Kingdom. I am
delighted that you are interested in advising your students who wish to
find out more about studying at a university in the UK. You may not know
that there are more than twelve thousand people from Spain who are
studying at UK universities. And the number of students from Spain
continues to grow every year.
UK institutions welcome students from Spain. The strong academic
foundations which your students have developed at school combine with
the very good level of English which young Spaniards now achieve to open
a whole range of possibilities. Whatever they wish to study – from
engineering to theatre and from medicine to music – they will find
institutions with a range of options to meet their needs.
Deciding what to study and where to study is a huge decision for any
young person. It is often their teacher to whom they will turn for advice,
and we want to make sure that you have as much information as possible
to be able to guide them on their opportunities for study in the UK.
This guide is intended to help you understand what those opportunities
are and to help your students to choose between them.
