Wit, Words, Pubs and Rain

Oxford, Cambridge, rowing on the Thames and Shakespeare are some of the images that students around the world have when they think about studying in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is famous for its cultural, intellectual and technological innovation. With the highest employment rates in the EU, the UK offers immense educational and job opportunities. From London to the highlands of Scotland one can discover the contrasts of modernity and tradition blending together in the social atmosphere of the British universities. The United Kingdom's culture is as rich as its inhabitants' wit is polished.
The pleasant juxtaposition of ancient buildings of old universities and modern images and technologies produce an extraordinary environment for students. Studying and hard work are a large part of the student life but are not the only things the British universities have to offer. Sports, music, theater, recreation and more are also available in abundance for students who need activities outside of the academic realm.
