Text c English Universities and Colleges

The oldest universities in Great Britain are Oxford and Cambridge. Many universities are fairly new. Modern English universities are in large cities, such as London, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and others. London University is the biggest of the modern English universities. In many ways the London University has departed from the traditions of Oxford and Cambridge. It consists of various colleges and other institutions. It has medical schools too.

A university usually has both faculties and departments. The most common faculties are medicine, law, arts, science and theology. There are various departments, such as engineering, economics, commerce, agriculture, music, etc.

The course of studies at a university lasts six years. The curriculum is wide. All universities admit men and women but the share of men is 75 per cent.

Each faculty is headed by one or more professors. A staff of lecturers and tutors (teachers) help them. Professors and lecturers give lectures to large numbers of students, and tutors teach smaller groups.

Colleges provide specialized training. There are medical, teachers', technical and other colleges at a university. The course of studies at a college is only three years. At medical colleges students study various subjects, learn to treat patients and have practical work at hospitals. After graduating from a college they are given a certificate.

Students pay for taking exams, for attending lectures, for taking books from the library.

A student being a great success in study may take a degree of Bachelor of Arts or of Science.

Text D

- What do you think of school?

Emma: I go to Newtown School of Performing Arts so in some ways it's different from a normal school. We learn all the same subjects but there is a lot more emphasis on drama, dance and music. I had to do an audition to get into the school.

- Is there anything that you think you should be taught but are not?

Our school is quite progressive so we have to learn a lot about things like drugs and AIDS so I think it's a good curriculum. I think it might also be useful to learn things like how not to be awkward around guys.

Jesse: School does not affect me too much. I go to quite a good school but for me the most important thing about the school is the other kids going there. That can make your school experience brilliant or terrible. Kids can sometimes gang up against each other, then it's horrible. They are often horrible to people who get good marks. They think that they are swots.

- Is there anything that you think you should be taught? We don't learn psychology. I think that's really bad.

Ned: I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but school influences me quite a lot. That's not surprising when I spend three quarters of my life there.
