Text 1. HIGHER EDUCATION

Higher education has undergone a massive expansion in Britain nowadays. The aim of the government is to increase the number of students who enter into higher education.  The driving force for this has been mainly economic. It is assumed that the more  people  who study  at  degree  level,  the  more  likely the  country  is  to   succeed economically. 

A large proportion of young people –  about a third in England and Wales and almost half in Scotland –  continue in education at a more A-level beyond the age of 18.  

The higher education sector provides a variety of courses up to degrees and postgraduate degree level, and carries out research. It increasingly caters for older students; over 50% of students in 1999 were aged 25 and over and many studied part-time. 

Nearly  every university offers access  and  foundation  courses  before  enrolment  on  a course of higher education of  prospective  students  who  do  not  have  the standard entry qualifications.

Higher  education  in  Britain  is   traditionally   associated   with universities, though education of  University  standard  is  also  given  in other institutions such as colleges and  institutes  of  higher  education, which have the  power to award their own degrees.

The only exception to state universities is the small University of Buckingham which concentrates on law, and which draws most of its students of overseas.

All universities in England and Wales are state universities (this includes Oxford and Cambridge).

Text 2. OXBRIDGE 

Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest and most prestigious  universities in  Great  Britain.  They  are  often  called  collectively  Oxbridge.  Both universities are independent. Only the  education  elite  go  to  Oxford  or Cambridge. Most of their students are former public schools leavers.

The normal length of the degree course is three years, after which the students take the Degree of Bachelor of Arts (В.А.). Some courses,  such  as languages or medicine, may be one or two  years  longer.  The  students  may work for other degrees as well. The degrees are  awarded  at  public  degree ceremonies'. Oxford and Cambridge cling to their  traditions,  such  as  the use  of  Latin  at  degree  ceremonies.  Full  academic  dress  is  worn  at examinations.

Oxford and Cambridge universities consist of  а  number  of  colleges. Each college is different, but in many ways they are alike. Each college has its name, its coat of  arms.  Each  college  is  governed  by  a Master. The larger ones have more than 400 members,  the  smallest  colleges have less than  30.  Each  college  offers  teaching  in  а  wide  range  of subjects. Within, the college one will normally  find  а  chapel,  а  dining hall, а library, rooms for undergraduates, fellows and the Master, and  also rooms for teaching purposes.

Oxford is one of the oldest universities in Europe. It is  the  second largest in Britain, after London.

There are now twenty-four colleges for men, five for women and another five which have both men and women members, many from overseas studying  for higher degrees.
