• Why the UK
A different kind of degree.
For North American students, the numbers make a compelling case.
Where are you starting from?
UK degrees work very differently at undergrad and postgrad. Pick your path.
UK bachelor's degrees take 3 years. You apply through UCAS (for undergrad) using your GPA, SAT scores, or AP results. One application, up to 5 choices, £28.50 fee.
Read the UCAS guide →POSTGRADUATEUK master's degrees are typically one year. Apply directly to universities — most don't use UCAS for postgrad. Faster, more focused, and often more affordable than North American equivalents.
