Hosting over 500,000 international students, the UK is the world’s second leading study destination (after the US), largely thanks to the strong global reputation of UK universities. An impressive 71 UK universities feature in the QS World University Rankings® 2016-2017 (again, only the US has more), and four institutions are currently ranked within the global top 10.

Despite uncertainties following the nation’s referendum on EU membership in June 2016, UK universities are united in their efforts to continuing welcoming students from across the EU and the entire world. Indeed, the country is home to many of the world’s most internationally diverse campuses and communities – and this, for many, is a large part of the appeal of studying in the UK.

Higher education in the UK varies in each constituent state (England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland), though the systems are fairly similar. Undergraduate degrees at universities in the UK typically last three years, although courses in Scotland are usually a year longer.

Some UK universities also offer fast-track undergraduate courses which can be completed in as little as two years. You could also choose a vocational-based ‘foundation degree’, which typically lasts one or two years and is similar to the US associate’s degree.

Students in the UK start their higher education with a bachelor’s degree, although for some subjects you can enroll on an undergraduate degree that leads directly into a master’s program – these combined courses are four years long. Taken separately, master’s programs last one or two years, and PhDs at least three. Courses are taught in English at most universities in the UK, with some Welsh-language programs offered in Wales and Scottish Gaelic-language programs in Scotland.

在英国总共有超过50万名国际留学生，这也使得英国成为全球第二顶尖的留学目的地(仅次于美国)，很大程度上归功于英国大学强大的全球声誉。在2016-2017年QS世界大学排名中，总共有令人印象深刻的71所英国大学(同样，也是仅次于美国的大学数量第二多的国家)，目前有4所大学位于全球前10名之内。

尽管在2016年6月英国公投决定退出欧盟存在一些不确定性，但是英国大学仍然团结一致，尽自己可能继续欢迎来自欧盟国家和整个世界的留学生们。事实上，这个国家有许多世界上最国际多样化的校园和社区——这对许多人来说是英国留学吸引力的大部分。

英国的高等教育因不同的区域而有所不同(英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰或北爱尔兰) 都有所不同，但是这些教育系统相当相似。英国大学的本科学位通常需要三年的时间完成，而苏格兰的课程通常还需要额外一年的时间。

一些英国的大学也提供快速本科课程，你可以用两年的时间就能完成。你也可以选择一个跟你专业相关的“预科学位”，通常持续一年或者两年的时间，类似于美国的副学士学位。

在英国的学生通常从学士学位开始他们的高等教育，但是有些专业你可以注册就读本科学位，然后直接升入硕士课程学习——这种联合课程的时间为4年。如果你分开就读本科学位和硕士学位，那么硕士课程的时间为一年或者两年，博士课程需要至少三年的时间。英国大多数大学都是用英语授课的， 在威尔士会提供一些威尔士语课程，在苏格兰会提供一些盖尔语课程。

The University of Cambridge is currently ranked fourth in the world, while the University of Oxford is sixth, followed by UCL (University College London) at seventh and Imperial College London in ninth place.

King's College London (KCL) and the University of Edinburgh are also in the global top 25, while the University of Manchester and London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) are within the top 40. A total of 18 UK universities appear in the top 100, and another 12 make the top 200. A shortage of exciting options will not be an issue if you’re looking to study in the UK.

The strength of UK universities also led to the country being ranked second in the QS Higher Education System Strength Rankings 2016.

Combining varied countryside and cosmopolitan cities, the UK has plenty to please both nature lovers and culture vultures. British filmmakers, actors, musicians, designers and writers are known and respected across the globe, and this is reflected in strong arts and cultural scenes across the country, with a huge range of galleries, museums and venues to match. At the more relaxed end of the culture spectrum, you can embrace the national passion for sport (especially football/soccer) or the classic British pastime of going to the pub.

Universities in the UK are also microcosms of entertainment in themselves, full of opportunities for getting involved in sports, theater, volunteering, and just having a good night out. Most major UK cities and universities are highly multicultural, providing opportunities to get to know both UK nationals and students from around the world.

剑桥大学目前世界排名第4位，牛津大学位于第6位，紧随其后的是位于第7位的伦敦大学学院和位于第9位的帝国理工学院。

伦敦大学国王学院和爱丁堡大学同样也位于全球前25名之内，曼彻斯特大学和伦敦政治经济学院都位于全球前40名之内。总共有18所英国大学出现在全球前100名之内，另外还有12所大学位于全球前200名之内。如果你想要去英国留学的话，那么你绝对不会觉得没有大学可以选择。

英国大学的强劲实力也使得英国这个国家在2016年QS高等教育系统实力排名中位于第2位。

英国不仅了乡村，也有世界性的大都市，因此不管是大自然爱好者还是对文化艺术非常感兴趣的人来说，英国都有足够取悦他们的东西。英国电影制片人、演员、音乐家、设计师和作家都被全世界所熟知并且推崇，这也反应在英国各地多种多样的艺术和文化活动中，这里拥有大量的画廊、博物馆和体育场馆。除了文化之外，你还可以体验英国对体育的激情 (特别是橄榄球或足球) ，或者去英国的酒吧消遣一下。

英国的大学也有自己的娱乐活动，你将有各种机会参与体育运动、戏剧和志愿工作，或者就是在外面好好玩一晚。大多数英国主要的城市和大学都是高度多元文化的，为大家提供了机会去了解英国这个国家，还能够结石来自世界各地的学生。那么英国有哪些城市最适合留学生们呢?请看出国留学网为大家独家整理并且翻译的英国留学城市介绍，希望对那些想要去英国留学的小伙伴们有帮助。

　　London

QS Best Student Cities ranking: 3rd

In the wake of 2016’s Brexit vote, there’s been concern that the UK could lose some of its appeal as an international study destination. But the 2017 edition of the QS Best Student Cities sees the nation’s capital climb two places to rank third overall – helped in part by the fall in the value of the pound, which has made it a more affordable proposition for international students.

Of course, London is still not exactly a cheap option. For international students, tuition fees at the city’s top universities approach those charged in the US, while home and EU undergraduate students are feeling the impact of fee increases implemented since 2012. In addition, rent and living costs are significantly higher in London compared to the rest of the UK.

Yet thanks to the concentration of world-class universities, professional and social opportunities, and a mind-boggling cultural confluence that mixes the corporate and the alternative, the historical and the cutting-edge, studying in London may well be worth every penny.

Few cities in the world can rival London's credentials as a nerve-center of global academia. Among its fleet of internationally ranked universities, the current leaders are UCL (University College London) and Imperial College London, which rank 7th and 9th respectively in the QS World University Rankings® 2016-2017.

King’s College London is also just one place outside the global top 20, and a whole host of other prestigious institutions are scattered throughout the metropolis – along with world-leading facilities such as the British Library, which constitutes one of the most extensive and significant collections of books and manuscripts in the world.

And of course, the UK's capital is not just an academic hub – it’s an epicenter of international finance and business, culture and creativity, famed for its museums, arts scene, nightlife and diversity. Anything you want to try, see, eat, learn or experience: it’s here.

　　伦敦

2017年最佳留学城市排名：第3位

在2016年英国退出欧盟投票表决之后，有些人担心英国可能会失去一些其作为留学目的地的吸引力。但是在最新发布的2017年QS最佳留学城市排名中，这座英国的首都城市上升了两个名次，位列全球第3位——部分得益于英镑价值的下跌，这使得伦敦成为对国际留学生来说更能够负担得起的选择。在全球范围内，只要少数城市能够击败伦敦作为全球学术中心的地位。伦敦是英国的首都，欧洲最大的城市。伦敦是英国的政治、经济、文化、金融中心和世界著名的旅游胜地，有数量众多的名胜景点与博物馆。伦敦是多元化的大都市，居民来自世界各地，一座种族、宗教与文化的大熔炉城市。使用的语言超过300多种。

当然，伦敦还不完全是一个非常便宜的选择。对于国际学生来说，这座城市里的顶尖大学所收取的学费已经接近那些美国大学收取的学费了，英国本国和欧盟国家本科学生已经感受到了从2012年实施的费用增加的影响。此外，与英国的其他城市相比，在伦敦的房租和生活费都明显更高一些。

但是，由于高度集中的世界一流的大学，专业和社会机会，以及一种混合了历史和前沿的令人难以置信的文化融合，在伦敦留学花的每一分钱可能都是值得的。

在全世界范围内很少有几个城市能够媲美伦敦作为全球学术界中心的地位。在其众多进入国际排名的大学中，目前排名最高的大学是伦敦大学学院(UCL) 和帝国理工学院，这两所大学在2016-2017年QS世界大学排名中分别位列第7和第9位。

伦敦大学国王学院离全球前20名仅仅一步之遥，位列第21，其他著名的大学遍布整个伦敦大都市——此外还有世界一流的设施，例如大英图书馆，这里收藏了世界上范围最广和最重要的书籍和手稿。

当然，英国的首都城市不仅仅是一个学术中心——还是国际上非常重要的金融、商业、文化和创造中心，凭借其博物馆、艺术场景、夜生活和多样性而闻名。任何你想要尝试、想看、想吃、想学习或者想体验的东西，你都能在这里找到。

伦敦也是世界上最重要的金融中心之一，对那些想寻求职业发展的学生来说，伦敦是非常具有吸引力的选择。伦敦同时也是媒体、艺术，以及大量其他行业，在世界上最好找工作的地方之一。

　　Edinburgh

QS Best Student Cities ranking: 18th

Up 15 places this year, Edinburgh has been ranked as the UK’s second-best student city after London for the third time in a row, beating the other six UK ranked universities in the QS Best Student Cities:Manchester, Coventry, Nottingham, Glasgow, Birmingham and Newcastle.

With a relatively small population compared to many of the cities in the index, the Scottish capital has a large student community proportionate to its overall size, meaning it scores especially well in the Student Mix category. Notably, 39% of students at ranked universities in Edinburgh are international, providing a diverse and inclusive atmosphere.

Known for its striking castle, historic old town and massive annual events such as the Edinburgh International Festival and New Year’s Hogmanay street party, the city is also home to several of the best universities in the UK. The University of Edinburgh is ranked 19th in the QS World University Rankings® 2016-2017 – the fifth-highest UK entry.

Average fees for international students are a little higher than in cities such as London or Manchester. However, for undergraduate students from within the EU (except those from England, Wales or Northern Ireland), university fees are entirely subsidized by the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS). So depending on where you’re from, Edinburgh could be one of the most affordable options in the list.

Edinburgh achieves its highest score (12th) in the new Student View indicator, showing that students in the city are undoubtedly enjoying their experience, and are often keen to stay after graduation. One survey respondent commented, “Edinburgh is the best city in the world. Not just the beautiful architecture and setting, the people make it great. Friendly and always accepting, I will never forget my time in Edinburgh.”

　　爱丁堡

2017年最佳留学城市排名：第18位

爱丁堡在今年的排名中攀升了15个名次，已经第三次成为英国除伦敦之外英国第二好的留学城市，并且在QS最佳留学城市排名中战胜了另外6个英国城市：曼彻斯特、考文垂、诺丁汉、格拉斯哥、伯明翰和纽卡斯尔。

与这个排名中的许多其他城市相比，爱丁堡的人口数量相对较少，这个苏格兰的首都城市有一个大的学生社区，与其整体的大小成比例，意味着爱丁堡在“学生组成”这一项的得分特别好。值得注意的是，在爱丁堡进入排名的大学中有39%的学生都是国际学生，这也代表爱丁堡提供了一种多样性和包容性的氛围。

爱丁堡以其惊人的城堡、充满历史感的老城和大规模的年度活动而著称，包括爱丁堡国际艺术节和苏格兰除夕街道晚会，并且这个城市还有几所英国最好的大学。爱丁堡大学在2016-2017年QS世界大学排名中位列第19——也是英国排名第5高的大学。

国际学生的平均费用比伦敦、曼彻斯特这样的城市稍高。不过，来自欧盟国家(除了来自英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰) 的本科生，大学学费是由苏格兰学生奖机构(SAAS)全额资助的。所以，具体要看你来自哪里，那么爱丁堡可能是这个列表中最实惠的选项之一。

爱丁堡在今年新纳入排名考核的“学生观点”这一项上达到了其最高得分(全球第12位)， 表明学生无疑非常享受他们在这个城市的体验，并且他们常常热衷于在毕业之后留下来。某个调查受访者评论，“爱丁堡是世界上最好的城市。不只是因为这里美丽的建筑和环境，而是这里的人使它变得伟大。这里的人友好并且总是乐于接受，我将永远不会忘记我在爱丁堡度过的时光。”

　　Manchester

QS Best Student Cities ranking: Joint 23rd

The UK’s third best student city after London and Edinburgh, Manchester ranks joint 23rd with Barcelona in the QS Best Student Cities index this year, up 13 places from last year. This strong position is due largely to the world-class universities in Manchester, as well as a fun-packed student culture that gives London a run for its money.

Located in the north west of England, Manchester is especially well known for its music scene, which has produced big-name bands such as The Smiths, Joy Division and Oasis. Today its numerous venues continue to be a central part of the UK music circuit, welcoming globally successfully acts and nurturing new talent. More generally, arts, culture and excellent nightlife are all very much in good supply, as are opportunities to explore the rich history of this part of the UK. Manchester played a central role in the industrial revolution – and this can be seen today in the imposing old textile factories and warehouses still dotted around the city.

Three universities in Manchester feature in the QS World University Rankings® 2016-2017, the most notable of which is the University of Manchester, which stands at 29th in the world.

Manchester’s lively student scene earned it a score in the top 30 in the new Student View category, reflecting the great student experience on offer. One respondent to our student survey commented: “It's a big enough city with plenty to see and do, but small and inclusive enough that there is still a sense of community among everyone. It's very multicultural and welcomes anyone and everyone.” Another summed up: “The city is wonderful, I don't want to leave. Plus the people are so friendly and the nightlife is amazing: best city I’ve been to.”

　　曼彻斯特

2017年最佳留学城市排名：并列第23位

曼彻斯特是英国在伦敦和爱丁堡之后的第三个最佳留学城市，与去年的排名相比今年上升了13个名次，在2017年的最佳留学城市排名中与巴塞罗那一起并列第23位。排名的上升很大程度上是因为在曼彻斯特世界级的一流大学，以及这里有趣的学生文化。

三所位于曼彻斯特的大学进入了2016-2017年QS世界大学排名，最突出的就是曼彻斯特大学，位列全球第29位。

在新纳入排名的“学生观点”中，曼彻斯特充满活力的学生生活使得其得分位列全球前30名之内，这也反应了这座城市所提供的非常难忘的学生体验。一位受访者评论说：“这是一个足够大的城市，你有许多可以看、可以做的事，但是与此同时这座城市又很小并且有包容性，在这个群体中的每个人都有自己的意识。这里有很多文化，欢迎任何人，而且是每一个人”。另一个人总结说：“这座城市是精彩的，我不想离开。再加上这里的人都非常友好，夜生活也非常棒︰这是我去过最好的城市”。

　　Glasgow

QS Best Student Cities ranking: Joint 34th

Up an impressive 29 places in this year’s Best Student Cities index, Glasgow is Scotland’s largest and most populous city, home to two universities in the top 300 of the QS World University Rankings® 2016-2017: the University of Glasgow, which ranks joint 63rd, and the University of Strathclyde at joint 272nd. The former is one of the world’s oldest universities, having been founded well over 500 years ago.

In recent years, the city has shaken off its previously gritty image to become one the UK’s leading hubs of culture, commerce, research and academia. It is also especially known for its music scene and the fierce rivalry between its two biggest football clubs, Rangers and Celtic.

Glasgow has a rich history, having been settled since the pre-Roman era. So there’s no shortage of grand historical architecture (the University of Glasgow boasts some of the grandest), alongside vestiges of the city’s role as one of the world’s leading industrial centers during the 19th century and the gleaming structures of the modern city.

Like many other UK cities, Glasgow hosts a large number of international students, and therefore achieves a particularly high score in the Student Mix category of the QS Best Student Cities index, providing opportunities for students to meet people from many different backgrounds and cultures.

However, Glasgow receives its strongest score in the new Student View category, helping it to climb 29 spots overall in this year’s Best Student Cities index.

One student, when asked to name the best thing about studying in Glasgow, said:“The people. It feels like home from day one.”

诺丁汉之所以广为人知是因为其与罗宾汉传奇的联系，诺丁汉位于英国英格兰东米德兰兹，被亲切地称为“中土之后”。诺丁汉闻名也是因为这里是主要的运动中心，并且在2015年10月被命名为“英国体育之家”。

Birmingham’s ‘Big City Plan’ includes the development of a new state-of-the-art £189 million library, revitalized public transport, beautifully restored Victorian buildings and more. Away from these developments, Birmingham also boasts more miles of canals than Venice (although the latter is far smaller, and has a higher concentration of canals).

As you’d expect from a city of Birmingham’s size, there is plenty of culture and nightlife to be enjoyed, and its status as one of the UK’s most multicultural cities adds to its diversity and the range of experiences on offer.
