If you're considering studying abroad, the UK has some of the world's most prestigious universities. But you will probably find British teaching is very different from what you're used to in Asia. Unlike in Asia, where the teacher is the authority, in UK, independent study and critical thinking. Lecturers encourage you to challenge ideas and think for yourself, and seminars and tutorials are opportunities for you to engage in lively debates.
