Taking stock of the difficulties of self-study and the risk of failing courses at British universities. ππ¬π§
Edinburgh University
Difficult to apply to, taking the undergraduate admissions of the College of Arts at Edinburgh from 2017 to 2019 as an example:
For some majors, the number of international students is less than 10.
The highest number is in the architecture major, but the number of applicants has also soared to around 400.
Moreover, there are no retakes for failed exams,
you could easily fail to graduate in minutes,
and the exam questions set by professors are not normal, making it very easy to fail [sighing emoji].
Durham University (that Hogwarts-like place [cute emoji])
Durham's Business School ranks in the top 1% globally,
with bay being almost the highest among the similarly ranked schools (social science majors),
sometimes even two to three ranks higher.
Those who aim high can't necessarily get in,
nicknamed the "rejected Oxbridge applicants gathering place,"
known in the circle as "G6," alongside Oxbridge referred to as "Doxbridge."
University of Glasgow
The failure rate is 5.2%, and the dropout rate is 7.5%.
This is because its undergraduate programs last for four years (excluding foundation years),
primarily due to:
Not adapting to the British teaching style,
some courses are still online, resulting in low attendance [chewing sound emoji].
Not checking emails frequently,
leading to the school being ignored during warning and reminder stages,
resulting in the school directly deporting students and closing their accounts;
Failures leading to;
Retakes leading to;
For master's degrees, Glasgow's language requirements are relatively relaxed,
still relatively better [cute emoji][cute emoji][chewing sound emoji].
