"What are the differences between university in the US and the UK? ". .

For one thing, having attended university in both countries, both the grading system and degrees conferred are different. For example, in the UK at the end of each grading term and, or semester, a student must pass a qualifying exam to advance; and, if a student does not meet the minimum grade point required to advance, they cannot go further on to a higher graduate degree programme and receive what then is basically a terminal degree, freezing them at that level. Degrees are also conferred in levels, I. e. First, Second, Third which ranks the degree in effect. The aforementioned are not institutionalized in the US university system and more often than not, each university establishes its own set of rules governing which students it will accept dependent on their accumulated and cumulative grade point average. And the conferring of a degree is only distinguished by whether it is with Honors or not. Also, there are basically no qualifying exams required to apply to a higher degree programme, though some universities require a standardized graduate test to rank prospective applicants in their admission process, even there, exceptions are made for a variety of reasons and it is not standardized or institutionalized in the United States university system. In that regard, I believe the value and attainment of degrees in the UK is in a higher order than in the United States generally speaking. For more information contact via - 9999127085 (Admissify).
