Source:UK qualifications in your own country
'Study in the way that suits your lifestyle and budget with a UK qualification in your own country. You can benefit from a UK education without leaving your job, disrupting your family, or spending a long time away from home. It means you can take advantage of the UK’s innovations and reputation for quality in learning to enhance your expertise and career.'
Even if you can’t travel halfway around the world and spend an extended time enjoying the benefits of living in the UK, you can still gain an internationally respected UK education. Every year, more than 700,000 students study for academic, vocational and professional UK qualifications in their own country or region. Join them by attending a local institution where UK qualifications are taught, or by distance learning through the internet, email, CD-ROMs and other audiovisual material.
UK colleges and universities have a long history of providing education to students based overseas. Hong Kong has enjoyed non-local courses from the UK for over 100 years. Virtually all UK universities are highly experienced in some form of overseas delivery of their qualifications. They may have twinning arrangements with institutions in your own country, where you can use local facilities, libraries and other resources.
All UK qualifications have to meet rigorous standards, and this applies just as much to ones you study in your own country as those you'd take in the UK. You'll be expected to meet the same standards as students studying in the UK and your work will be checked regularly to make sure this is the case. Your UK qualification is a mark of quality, proving to future employers that you're up to whatever task they set.
UK study choices to suit your needs
Study a UK qualification in your own country and you can fit your studies around other commitments. If you're a busy manager you could choose a course that involves little or no contact with teaching staff and work at your own pace. Or you may prefer a part-time course that's delivered through a local institution, where you can meet lecturers and tutors face-to-face to discuss your studies. If you wish to fully commit to your studies, there is a growing number of full-time degrees from the UK delivered in Hong Kong.
