Query about Studying in Uk.?

Question

I am a resident of Asian Country.

I have completed HSSC (12 years of Education) in my own country and now want to study abroad i.e Uk.

But i 've heard that A-Levels education/British Education is Total 13 years before you can do a Undergraduate Degree.

Now i wanna ask that is there any such *1 Year* course available which can align me to British Education system and then i can apply for Undergraduate course..??

Or are there any other possibilities for me..??

Plz give detailed answers and Links that can be useful.

Thanks

Answer 1

it also depends on which country within the uk you go to. England has a 3 year ungergraduate course which includes a foundation year as someone mentioned before. But in Scotland you can go to university after only 12 years at school because university is 4 years with 2 years as a foudation, during which time you can change your degree several times if you don't know exactly what you want to do.

Answer 2

all uk univeristies have a foundation year during which u can catch up on a-level coures. the year is equal to a-level courses so it should be alright

Answer 3

Absolutely. Each university will offer different things, in different subject areas, so you'll have to check their individual websites for details. A Foundation Year, 'Year Zero' or an Access Course would each be one-year A-Level equivalents.
