![]() ![]() Masha: Two years only – and you get your diploma! It’s quick, isn’t it?Īlice: Colleges of education, by the way, don’t confer diplomas on their graduates. Colleges of education, for example, have a two-year course, sometimes three, if the student is specializing in some particular subject. The course of studies is longer – three or four years.Īlice: It depends on the type of the college. The last is a traditional feature of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. University teaching combines lectures, practical classes in scientific subjects and small group teaching in either seminars or tutorials. Now, what is the difference between a university and a college?Īlice: Well, first of all, the curriculum is different: colleges give a specialized training, and at a university the curriculum is wider. There are also many non-residential colleges, which haven’t got any hostels. All the students live in the hostel, and so do the majority of the teaching staff. Masha: By the way, what is meant by a «residential» college?Īlice: It’s a college with a hostel, which is usually situated on the same grounds as the principal building. In Great Britain we have universities and colleges. Masha: What kind of institutes have you got in England?Īlice: I suppose, by «institutes» you mean educational institutions? We don’t usually call them like that. Masha: I’d like to clear up some things about higher education in England.
