UK has a large number of universities and colleges which rank among the best in the world and offer a wide range of courses. One major advantage of UK is its one-year Masters Degree for almost all courses - saving you considerable time and money. Also, unlike those in other countries, most UK universities recognize the Indian system of 3 year graduation. Britain's worldwide reputation for quality in education and training is well-deserved and hard-earned. UK quality standards are backed up by a rigorous and independent assessment system, so that students can be certain their vocational, undergraduate, or postgraduate qualification is officially approved and enjoys wide international recognition.
Cost-effective Courses
Education and training in Britain can be very cost-effective for students from overseas. Many courses in Britain are shorter and more intensive than those offered by other countries, with most undergraduate courses in Britain taking only three years to complete, as opposed to the usual four, while Diploma and taught Masters degrees normally take one year.

Postgraduate Studies
Most UK universities accept the Indian graduation system of three years for entry into most postgraduate courses. An Indian bachelor degree like BA, BCom or BSc is equivalent to a British Bachelor (Ordinary) Degree.
However, some courses and universities may require a qualification equivalent to British Bachelor (Honours) Degree, which requires 16 years of formal education, which would mean another year after graduation or a four year degree course like BE, BTech or other such courses. For most Universities, a good first degree from a university in India or its equivalent is essential.
