英國留學教育體系主要組成介紹
第1階段： 57歲
第2階段： 7至11歲
關鍵第3階段： 11至14歲
關鍵第4階段： 14至16歲
一般來說鍵1和第2階段將在小學進行，并在11歲的學生將移動到中學，完成關鍵階段3和4。
學生在每個階段結束時評估。最重要的評估發生在16歲的時候，學生追求自己的GCSE課程或普通中等教育證書。一旦學生完成他們的GCSE他們有選擇走上繼續教育，然后是潛在高等教育，或完成學業，進入工作世界。
我們概述了在英國的教育體系分為五個主要部分：
小學教育
小學教育5歲開始在英國，并一直持續到11歲，包括關鍵階段，根據英國教育體制。小學教育的更多信息，請訪問 英國文化協會頁面。
中學教育
通常對于大多數學生開始在英國的中學教育，在年齡為11歲。雖然不常見，在英國的一些地方，也有運行到12或13歲的中學。
對于國際學生進入英國中學教育，這是共同進入11歲或等到13歲，之前有一年時間在學校開始為期兩年的GCSE課程，將運行14至16歲。
從11-14歲，學生將學習范圍廣泛的科目，如音樂，數學，科學，英語等，當你到達14，你一般會訂立的第一年，2年的過程，被稱為你的GCSE（對于那些誰是在蘇格蘭或SCE）。GCSE是一組用來測試你的知識和技能的考試。
大多數學校按照同樣的方法，當它涉及到的GCSE，你將采取以下核心科目：
英語
數學
科學（合并或獨立的生物學，化學，物理）
學生通常然后選擇一個額外的4或5個科目采取GCSE，他們可以科目，如法語，德語，商務研究，設計與科技，音樂，體育科學，地理，歷史和許多其他選項。
在公立學校的學生通常需要5至10 GCSE課程，根據學生的能力和驅動。對于獨立的學校，通常是帶動更多的結果，它的情況并不少見學生參加多達11或12，更注重相比，文科的學科。
GCSE 2年，并采取一個全面的，學生在英國義務教育結束標志。一旦他們已經完成了GCSE的學生，然后有選擇要么繼續教育與高等教育進入或離開學校找工作。
繼續教育
當學生達到16歲，并且已經完成了他們的GCSE他們有幾個選項可供選擇：
查找工作
學歷
職業資格
如果學生選擇與他們的教育，這將有兩種形式，無論是，進一步追求學歷或職業途徑。
學歷
大多數學校在英國有什么是所謂的第六屆表，讓學生進入后，他們已經采取了他們的GCSE。作為替代方案，有很多的第六屆表格院校，將提供相同的`課程，在校學生不具備第六形式。這里的學生通常學習A-levels課程，進一步對學生的學歷要求，才能進入更高的教育和學位課程。
像GCSE課程，A-levels課程，遵循一個為期兩年的計劃，他們有兩個組成部分，全部A-levels課程和一半水平。一般來說，A-levels課程包括6個模塊，AS-3級模塊。
學生一般會采取兩至三個A級，但取決于你的學術能力和驅動器，你可能需要更多。獨立學校的學生可能需要的任何地方高達5級。
國際文憑，現在也提供更多的學校在英國作為替代A-levels課程，但是這仍然是非常小的。
職業資格
對于那些不那么學術思想的學生，他們仍然有進一步的教育，通過學習職業課程，將為他們提供的經驗和教育更雙手放在選項。
最流行的職業計劃包括：
BTEC獎
國家職業資格（NVQ）
市和公會資格
學徒
高等教育
英國有一個巨大的品種提供各種學位課程的學生來自英國和世界各地的100多所大學為學生提供高等教育機會。在英國，大約三分之一的所有學生去到某種形式的高等教育，這個數字是遠遠超過50%的學生來自蘇格蘭。這使得競爭非常激烈的地方，所以建議盡早申請的課程。
在英國，大部分本科學位課程需要三年的時間才能完成，但是，三明治課程越來越受歡迎，這是四年，并包括一年的工作的地方（通常在你的第三年）。在蘇格蘭，課程長度為四年本科課程。
對于研究生或碩士課程，他們一般長度較短，您的本科課程，畢業后進行。有的專業學位，如醫學，獸醫，法律等有較長的程序，可以多達五十年。
從2007年開始，在英國的大學允許收取學生來自英國每年3070英鎊（取決于學校和位置）。來自歐盟的學生，你也只需要支付相同的費用，學生來自英國，但來自世界各地的國際學生將必須支付全額學費，這將取決于對學校。這些國際學生的費用范圍從？4,000每年高達18,000英鎊一年或一年以上。
入學要求
英文原文：
The education system in the UK is divided into four main parts, primary education, secondary education, further education and higher education. Children in the UK have to legally attend primary and secondary education which runs from about 5 years old until the student is 16 years old.
The education system in the UK is also split into key stages which breaks down as follows:
Key Stage 1: 5 to 7 years old
Key Stage 2: 7 to 11 years old
Key Stage 3: 11 to 14 years old
Key Stage 4: 14 to 16 years old
Generally key stages 1 and 2 will be undertaken at primary school and at 11 years old a student will move onto secondary school and finish key stages 3 and 4.
Students are assessed at the end of each stage. The most important assessment occurs at age 16 when students pursue their GCSEs or General Certificate of Secondary Education. Once students complete their GCSEs they have the choice to go onto further education and then potential higher education, or finish school and go into the working world.
Our overview of the education system in the UK is divided into five main sections:
Primary Education
Primary education begins in the UK at age 5 and continues until age 11, comprising key stages one and two under the UK educational system. Please visit the British Council page for more information on primary education.
Secondary Education
Secondary education in the UK normally starts for most students at the age of 11 years old. Though not common, in some parts of the UK there are middle schools which run up to 12 or 13 years old.
For international students coming into the UK for secondary education, it is common to either enter at the age of 11 or wait until the age of 13 and have one year in the school before starting the two-year GCSE program which will run from 14 to 16 years old.
From the age of 11-14, students will study a broad range of subjects such as Music, Maths, Sciences, English, etc. When you reach 14, you generally enter into your first year of a 2 year process known as your GCSE （or SCE for those who are in Scotland）。 GCSEs are a set of exams that test your knowledge and skill.
Most schools follow the same method when it comes to GCSEs and you will take the following core subjects:
English
Maths
Sciences （either combined or separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics）
Students typically then select an additional 4 or 5 subjects in which to take GCSEs, and they can be subjects like French, German, Business Studies, Design and Technology, Music, Sports Science, Geography, History and many other options.
At state schools students typically take 5 to 10 GCSEs, depending on the students ability and drive. For independent schools, which are usually a lot more results driven, it is not uncommon for students to take as many as 11 or 12, focusing more on academic subjects compared to the arts subjects.
GCSEs take a total of 2 years and mark the end of compulsory education for students in the UK. Once they have completed their GCSEs students then have the choice to either move into further education （with a view to higher education） or can leave school and look for work.
Further Education
When students reach the age of 16 and have completed their GCSEs they have a few options to choose from:
Find work
Academic Qualifications
Vocational Qualifications
If students opt for carrying on with their education this will take two forms, either by pursuing further academic qualifications or by following a more vocational pathway.
Academic Qualifications
Most schools in the UK have what is called a 6th Form for students to enter after they have taken their GCSEs. As an alternative, there are many 6th Form Colleges that will offer the same courses from students at schools that do not have a 6th form. Here students typically study A-levels, further academic qualifications required of students before they enter higher education and a degree program.
A-levels, like GCSEs, follow a two-year program and there are two components to them, full A-levels and half AS-levels. Generally A-levels comprise of 6 modules, and an AS-level 3 modules.
Students will generally take between two to three A-levels, but depending on your academic ability and drive you may take more. Students at independent schools may take anywhere up to 5 A-levels.
The International Baccalaureate is also now offered by more schools in the UK as an alternative to A-levels, however this is still very small.
Vocational Qualifications
For students who are not so academically minded, they still have the option to further their education by studying a vocational course that will provide them with a more hands on experience and education.
The most popular vocation programs include:
BTEC Awards
National Vocational Qualification （NVQ）
City and Guilds Qualification
Apprenticeships
As most international students coming into the UK will be taking academic programs with the aim of gaining admittance to a degree program we will not provide that much information here but please see the links above to learn more.
Higher Education
The UK has a vast variety of higher education opportunities to offer students with over 100 universities offering various degree programs for students from the UK and around the world. In the UK about one-third of all students go on to some form of higher education and this number is well over 50% for students from Scotland. This makes competition for places very fierce and so it is advised to apply early for courses.
In the UK most undergraduate degree programs take three years to finish; however, the sandwich course is increasing in popularity, which is four years and involves one year in the work place （normally in your third year）。 In Scotland the courses are four years in length for undergraduate programs.
For graduate or masters programs they are generally shorter in length and undertaken after graduation of your undergraduate program. Some professional degrees like medicine, veterinary, law etc. have longer programs that can be as much as five years.
From 2007, universities in the UK are allowed to charge students from the UK up to 3,070 per year （depending on the school and location）。 For students from the EU, you will also only have the pay the same fees as students from the UK, but international students from the rest of the world will have to pay the full school fees which will vary depending on the school. These fees for international students can range anywhere from 4,000 per year right up to 18,000 per year or more.
Entry Requirements
Each level of education in the UK has varying requirements which must be satisfied in order to gain entry at that level - learn more about the education entry requirements for the UK.
