A wide range of qualifications are offered by a variety of insitutions across the UK |
THE UK OFFERS a comprehensive range of academic and vocational qualifications in virtually every subject, for students of all ages and at all stages of their education.
The information on this website mainly concerns UK higher education and research.
Therefore, to provide context, the pages in this section provide background information as to where higher education and research fit within the UK education system as a whole.
You'll find information on how the UK's education provision is arranged and what qualifications are on offer across a range of institutions as well as how these relate to each other according to various qualification frameworks.
There's also information on how qualifications fit into the UCAS tariff (which is used by many universities and colleges to calculate entry requirements for higher education courses) and how overseas students can find out how their qualifications compare to UK equivalents via NARIC / ENIC centres. |
