Here are some of the key differences between each educational institution:

Length of time:

• 4 years to complete a bachelor’s degree (US)
• 3 years to complete a bachelor’s degree (UK)

Structure:

• Students can explore several fields of study for a year before choosing a major (US)
• Students must select their course and department upon applying (UK)

How you study:

• Assessment-based (US)
• Lecture-based (UK)

Application:

• Through the Common App which allows students to apply to as many universities as they want. Some US universities have their own application (US)
• Through UCAS which limits students to a maximum of five universities and/or courses. Students can either apply to Oxford or Cambridge but not both (UK)

You can read more on the differences between studying at a university in the US and the UK here.

US universities value extracurriculars and consider them 30% of the admission weighting. Admissions seek sincere involvement in activities that show enthusiasm, innovation, and positive impact in specific areas.

UK universities emphasise "Supercurriculars" - activities outside class that support academic development. Depth in these activities is crucial to boost academic strengths.

Expert advice can help build a strong extracurricular profile for US and UK university applications.

During the pandemic, many US universities had implemented test-optional or test-flexible policies (though these may continue to evolve). Admissions experts suggest taking standardised tests, as they offer a concrete benchmark for evaluation compared to other high-potential candidates and demonstrate academic commitment.

However, if you choose not to take them, other components of your application such as grades, essays, extracurriculars and recommendations become more crucial.

While internships are not mandatory for university applications, it is a great way to help you distinguish yourself from other high-potential candidates.

Crimson Education provides students with exciting internship opportunities at top global companies like HSBC, The Economist, Dentons, Amazon, Uber and more.
