STUDYING AT UNIVERSITY

154
If you want to go to university, you must first pass examinations that most students take at the age
of eighteen. Most students take three examinations in three different subjects and they must do well
in order to get/obtain a place at university because the places are limited. At the moment,
approximately 30% of young adults go to university in Britain. If you get a place at university, the
tuition is free, and some students also receive a grant (= money to pay for living expenses, e.g. food
and accommodation) as well. Students at university are called undergraduates while they are
studying for their first degree. Most university courses last three years, some courses last four years,
and one or two courses, e.g. medicine, may be even longer. During this period students can say that:
- I’m doing/studying history,

- I’m doing / studying for a degree in history
- I’m studying for a bachelor’s in economics.
