Higher Education in Great Britain
The independence of Britain’s educational institutions is most noticeable in universities. They make their own choices of who to accept on their courses. There is no right of entry to university for anybody. Universities normally select students on the basis of A-level1 results and an interview. Those with better exam grades2 are more likely to be accepted.
Officially, all universities are equal in status. But they differ greatly in reputation and public image. In general the older the university is, the higher its status. So the most prestigious are the most ancient ones – Oxford and Cambridge.
The availability of higher education has increased greatly in the second half of the 20th century. In 1960 there were less than twenty-five universities in the whole of Britain. By 1980 there were more than forty, and by 1997 there are well over a hundred institutions which have university status.
Nevertheless, finding a university place is not easy. Universities only take the better students. Because of this, and also because of the relatively high degree of personal supervision3 of students which the low ratio of students to staff4 allows, nearly all university students complete their studies – and in a very short time too! In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, it is only for modern languages and certain vocational5 studies that students take more than three years. In Scotland, four years is the norm for most subjects.
Another reason for the low drop-out rate is that “full-time”6 really means full-time. Students are not supposed to take a job during term time (normally about thirty to thirty-four weeks of the year). Unless their parents are rich, they receive a state grant of money which is intended to cover most of their living expenses. This includes the cost of accommodation. A large proportion of students live “on campus”7, or in rooms nearby, which tends to mean that the student is surrounded by a university atmosphere.
__________
1A-level = advanced level – экзамен по программе средней школы на повышенном уровне
2exam grades – экзаменационные оценки
3supervision – наблюдение, руководство
4the ratio of students to staff - соотношение численности студентов и преподавателей
5vocational – профессиональный (имеющий отношение к профессии)
6full-time – полный рабочий день, полная рабочая неделя
7campus – территория университета

Task 12. Read the text and say whether the statements below are true or false; render the text in Russian.
Ninety percent of higher education in British universities is state-funded, although the universities themselves are completely independent. They appoint their own staffs, and decide what and how their students should be taught.
Oxford and Cambridge have residential colleges in which students live during term time, but not all British universities are residential1. Most are in large towns, and many of their students come from the local area and live at home. In recent years, however, universities have provided more halls of residenceсe.
A first degree (undergraduate course) at a British university usually takes three years of full-time study, although some specialist courses, such as medicine, take longer.
Unlike American universities and colleges, where standards may vary dramatically from one institution to another, the standard throughout Britain is fairly uniform. This uniformity in standard is partly achieved by the practice of having external examiners from other universities marking all examination papers.
The word “college” in Britain refers to a variety of educational training institutes, most of which are not of the same academic standing as a university. There are, for example, technical colleges, colleges of agriculture, art and music, commerce, building and teacher training.
