About the Event
The United Kingdom offers one of the world’s most distinctive and academically rigorous university systems — with globally respected degrees, shorter timelines, and a depth of subject focus rarely found in the U.S. But for American families, the system can feel unfamiliar, opaque, and full of unanswered questions. This live Zoom information session is designed to change that.
Join us for an engaging, practical introduction to studying in the UK, created specifically for U.S. students and parents. We’ll explore how UK degrees are structured, how admissions really work, and why the UK can be an exceptional fit for students who want intellectual depth, global perspective, and a more intentional academic experience.
We’ll go beyond surface-level comparisons to unpack:
How UK degrees differ from U.S. majors and general education models
What students actually study from day one — and why focus matters
Admissions timelines, requirements, and realistic expectations
