Some students go to university because they enjoy studying, others just want a qualification. First, however, you have to get good 1) grades in your final school exams to get a place at many universities. You can then 2) study for a Bachelor’s degree. If you 3) complete the course successfully, you get your degree and receive a certificate. In the UK, most degree courses 4) last three years, although some take longer, e.g. medicine or law.

Teachers at university are usually called 5) lecturers, and most of the teaching is done through lectures. The most senior lecturers have the title Professor. Students doing art subjects, e.g. English or history, 6) will spend time working in the library and writing 7) essays. Students doing science degrees, e.g. 8) physics or chemistry, will probably spend a lot of their time working in a laboratory.

When students are doing their first degree, they are called undergraduates. When they complete their degree, they are graduates. Some graduates go on to do 9) a Master’s degree, e.g. in the UK an MA (Master of Arts) or MSc (Master of Science). These are called postgraduate degrees. The longest one is a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) where students do research for at least three years.
