Text 4. University Education in England

1. The visiting card of British education for the whole world was the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. More than six hundred years ago, two universities provided the British Empire with scientific, managerial, engineering personnel. This caused the huge size of universities, corporate spirit, constant rivalry, unshakable traditions of higher schools.

2. The unique features of the oldest universities are the individual methods of teaching practiced there only. The highest level of education is provided by the qualification of teachers, constant monitoring of the quality of acquired knowledge, the skills of independent work with educational materials. The result of centuries of practice has become the permanent place of Cambridge and Oxford in the top five universities in the world.

3. Universities are largely similar in methods of study, which gave the British a reason to call them the collective word Oxbridge. Similarity, proximity, the same development of high schools and constant competition - are due to the fact that Cambridge was founded by a group of professors and students expelled from Oxford.

4. The size of the universities is almost equal. There are 31 colleges (of which three are exclusive for women) in the Cambridge University, 19,000 students are enrolled. In addition to traditional classical, theological, philosophical, historical, legal, mathematical, physical, language faculties for the historical university, Cambridge has faculties of the history of arts, music, electrical engineering, information systems, computer design.

5. In Oxford, there are 38 colleges, 20,000 students (25% of them are foreigners). To unconventional for the classical university departments can be attributed such areas of education as the history of medicine, anthropology, public health, the study of modern China, the Institute of the Internet.

6. Other British universities work on their own original curriculum, for example, the University of Sheffield, one of the ten prestigious higher education institutions in England. The international composition of teachers (3200 people) allows to train 35000 students. At the university, students' studies are combined with research work, for which about five million pounds a year are allocated.

7. The results of the research are used in the development of such industrial corporations such as NASA, Microsoft, Sony, Philips. The universal type of higher education is determined by a set of faculties that unite the faculties of art and design, bioscience, construction, business and management, computer science, engineering, banking, media, physiotherapy, social sciences, sports, and hotel business at the university.
