Free University of Berlin The Freie Universität Berlin (lit. "Free University of Berlin", often abbreviated as FU Berlin) is a renowned research university located in Berlin and one of the most prominent universities in Germany. It is internationally known for its research in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in the field of natural and life sciences. Founded in West Berlin during the early Cold War period and born out of the increasingly Communist-controlled Humboldt University, its name refers to West Berlin's status as part of the free world, as opposed to the Soviet-occupied "unfree" areas surrounding the city. Freie Universität Berlin was one of nine German universities to win in the German Universities Excellence Initiative, a national competition for universities organized by the German federal government. History[edit] Freie Universität Berlin was established by students and scholars on December 4, 1948. Kaiser Wilhlem Institute for Chemistry, today: Hahn-Meitner building Recent years[edit]
Further education Further education (often abbreviated FE) in the United Kingdom and Ireland, not dissimilar to continuing education in the United States, is a term used to refer to post-compulsory education (in addition to that received at secondary school), that is distinct from the higher education offered in universities. It may be at any level above compulsory secondary education, from basic skills training to higher vocational qualifications such as PGCE, NVQ, City and Guilds, BTEC, HNC, HND or Foundation Degree. A distinction is usually made between FE and higher education HE, an education at a higher level than secondary school, usually provided in distinct institutions such as universities. FE in the United Kingdom is usually a means to attain an intermediate or follow up qualification necessary to attend university, or begin a specific career path, e.g. Further education by country[edit] Australia[edit] United Kingdom[edit] England[edit] Northern Ireland[edit] Scotland[edit] Wales[edit] Ireland[edit]

Destination Data Students The Department for Education today published new data showing how many students progressed to further or higher education or training for each school, college and local authority in England. It is also the first time that the number and proportion of young people in a school, college and authority who attend Oxbridge or another Russell Group university is being published. The statistics - published as part of the Government’s transparency agenda - give parents and the public even greater information with which they can choose the right school or college for their child. In particular, today’s statistics, which relate to maintained schools, further education colleges and sixth form colleges, show what proportion and number of students were in: It is the latest step in the Department for Education’s pledge to open up a mass of previously unpublished statistics. Schools Minister Lord Hill said: He added: Headline statistics In the year after taking an A level or equivalent at Key Stage 5: Regions
List of universities in Australia The Commonwealth Higher Education Support Act 2003 sets out three groups of Australian higher education providers: Universities, other self-accrediting higher education institutions, and state and territory accredited higher education institutions. Students at all three types of institutions are eligible for FEE-HELP, an income-contingent loan to cover charges and fees.

Blog-Artikel: Schools in Britain There are several kinds of schools in Britain to choose from. Parents can either send their children to state schools, which are cheaper but they do not offer as high level of education as private sector or spend little fortunes on their little scholars sending them to some private, boarding schools, looking like more of mansions than school buildings. But no matter where the children educate, they follow the same pattern of schools they have to go through: preparatory school, senior school, 6th form or college, and finally polytechnics or university. All children in England start their education at 4 or 5, some even at 3 and go to preparatory school, to attend their lessons with year 1 group. The next kind of place where children are taught is senior school. However, those, who are more ambitious, go to 6th form or college. Finally, university or polytechnics education starts.
King's College London King's College London (informally King's or KCL) is a public research university located in London, United Kingdom, and a constituent college of the federal University of London. King's is arguably the third-oldest university in England, having been founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington in 1829, receiving its royal charter in the same year.[4][5] St Thomas' Hospital, which is now a teaching hospital of King's College London School of Medicine, has roots dating back to 1173. In 1836, King's became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London.[6][7][8] History[edit] Foundation[edit] A royal charter to incorporate King's College was granted by George IV on 14 August 1829, stating the intention of the new College:[18] ...for the general education of youth in which the various branches of Literature and Science are intended to be taught, and also the doctrines and duties of Christianity... inculcated by the United Church of England and Ireland. 19th century[edit]
Studieren in England | Studium und Universität in England Im Vereinigten Königreich müssen jährlich Gebühren gezahlt werden. Die Höhe der Gebühren (Tuition Fees) hängt davon ab, ob es sich um Home Students, d. h. Briten bzw. Staatsangehörige aus EU-Ländern, oder Overseas Students/International Students, sonstige ausländische Studierende, handelt. Seit Dezember 2010 dürfen Hochschulen in England und Wales Studiengebühren bis maximal £ 9000 pro Jahr erheben. Dies stellt eine Verdreifachung der Gebühren dar, die 2006 beschlossen wurden. Anders sieht es in Schottland aus: Zwar wurden in England und Wales die Studiengebühren gerade angehoben, davon merken die Studierenden in Schottland allerdings nichts. Nach der Graduierung wird eine Zahlung gefordert von derzeit 2.200 £, die aber über das gesamte Studium betrachtet sehr wenig ist. Neben den Tuition Fees können zusätzliche, „anerkannte“ Gebühren für bestimmte Zwecke erhoben werden, oft auch College Fees genannt.
University of Oxford Coordinates: The University of Oxford (informally Oxford University or simply Oxford) is a collegiate research university located in Oxford, England. While Oxford has no known date of foundation, there is evidence of teaching as far back as 1096,[1] making it the oldest university in the English-speaking world, and the world's second-oldest surviving university.[1][6] It grew rapidly from 1167 when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris.[1] After disputes between students and Oxford townsfolk in 1209, some academics fled northeast to Cambridge, where they established what became the University of Cambridge.[7] The two "ancient universities" are frequently jointly referred to as "Oxbridge". Oxford is the home of several notable scholarships, including the Clarendon Scholarship which was launched in 2001[10] and the Rhodes Scholarship which has brought graduate students to read at the university for more than a century.[11] History[edit] Founding[edit]
Britisches Bildungssystem: Hoffnungen zweiter Klasse Britisches Bildungssystem In den Problembezirken Großbritanniens sind Schulen oft schlecht ausgestattet, das soziale Umfeld schätzt Bildung nicht wert. Wer dort aufwächst, für den bleibt Oxford unerreicht. In einem Londoner Gemeindezentrum der Methodisten versammeln sich Jugendliche, um sich von den Krawallen zu distanzieren. LONDON taz | Ist das die perspektivlose Jugend Englands? Während Tottenham zur Normalität zurückkehrt und die Gerichte Londons mehr als tausend Jugendliche wegen der Krawalle angeklagt haben, beginnt in Großbritannien die Suche nach den Ursachen der sozialen Probleme. Tottenham ist unter den 5 Prozent der am meisten benachteiligten Viertel in England. Studiert zu haben ist in Tottenham keine Seltenheit. In Deutschland steht die Hauptschule in Verbindung mit sozialen Problemen. Selbst ein Uni-Abschluss ist nicht genug "Die kommen nicht auf die Topuniversitäten, denn deren Noten sind meistens einfach zu schlecht", sagt Matt Grist vom Thinktank Demos.
