UNDERGRADUATE AND BELOW DEGREE COURSES
The most popular undergraduate qualifications are Bachelor's degrees (also called undergraduate or first degrees), which are now required for entry into a wide range of careers in the UK and other countries. British degree programmes incorporate up-to-date subject developments, and are underpinned by world-class research and links with business and industry. At Oxford, Cambridge and the Scottish universities, a first degree in arts is a Master of Arts (MA).

POSTGRADUATE COURSES (INCLUDING MBAS)
There are two main types of taught postgraduate course: Master's programmes, which normally consist of classes and seminars plus a dissertation; and diploma or certificate courses, which consist of classes and seminars (sometimes the same taught elements as a Master's course), but with no dissertation. Some diploma courses enable you to transfer to a Master's degree when you have successfully completed them.

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
These qualifications tend to be more work-related than academic and can put you on a fast-track route within your current career, into a new career or on to a degree course. Career-based courses in the UK often involve strong links between institutions and industry. This ensures the continuing relevance of these qualifications to the world of work, which, in turn, improves the career prospects of the students who take them.

FOUNDATION COURSES AND GCE EXAMINATIONS
The new two-year foundation degrees, introduced in the UK in September 2001, widen the range of options still further, offering an innovative blend of academic and career-based study.
