To clear up confusion about university vs. college and other school related things… here’s a summary of the schooling system in England vs. the schooling system in the USA.
Sorry I don’t know any other countries, and…
It’s a generalisation, there are obviously gunna be exceptions.
England, (there may be variation between England and other countries of the UK, for example I think Scotland takes Scottish Highers instead of GCSE’s – someone correct me if I’m wrong):
Nursery School:
0-4 years old
Primary school:
Age 4-5 = reception
Age 5-6 = year 1
Age 6-7 = year 2
Age 7-8 = year 3
Age 8-9 = year 4
Age 9-10 = year 5
Age 10-11 = year 6
Secondary school:
Age 11-12 = year 7
Age 12-13 = year 8
Age 13-14 = year 9
Age 14-15 = year 10
Age 15-16 = year 11
Year 10 and 11 are spent working towards GCSE’s (general certificates of secondary education.) The exams for which are taken at the end of year 11 (unless they’re modular). This is pretty much all that counts; it’s not like America where you need credits, and your class work/homework contributes in no way to your final grade unless it is coursework. These are external exams so everyone in the country doing the same subject with the same exam board sits the exam on the same day at the same time and there papers are sent off to be marked. The results come back in August. At the end of year 11 you can leave education. Although I think the government is looking to raise the school leaver age to 18 by 2013.
Sixth Form/Sixth Form College/Further Education College, (often just called College):
Time here is generally spent working towards A-levels (Advanced Levels – also called GCE’s, general certificates of education) or a diploma of some sort. Some people also do the International Baccalaureate instead. A levels are split into AS’s in the first year (Advanced Subsidiary’s) and A2’s in the second year. Both combined make your overall A-level grade in a particular subject, and people generally do between 3 or 4 A-level subjects.
[Admin Edit] Alternatively at college, you can choose to do a B-Tec, a course that can be taken instead of GCSE’s or at a slightly higher level instead of AS and A-Levels. These are where you specialise in one subject e.g. Graphic Design, Fashion, Film production etc. Instead of having to go down the exam route, you take a more modular based approach to your studies. At a level three qualification, it is equivalent to three A-levels. B-tecs usually last two / three years depending on whether they are taken full or part time and where they are taken.
Again, another college based route is an apprenticeship where the student chooses to go straight into a working environment, being taught by professionals in the work place. They often still need to produce coursework as evidence of their work, however unlike other students who study in a classroom, apprentices get paid a small weekly wage for their work.
Age 16-17 = year 12 (or if you are at a college not linked with a secondary school it may be called 1st year)
Age 17-18 = year 13 (or 2nd year)
University:
Age 18-21
It takes 3 years to do a Bachelors degree, or 4 years to do an integrated undergraduate Master’s. Unless you go to a Scottish university, then it’s 4 years for a Bachelors and 5 years for an integrated Master’s.
[Admin edit] Instead of diving straight into university, a student may opt to take a HND (Higher National Diploma) which often follows on from a level 3 B-Tec. This is usually taken at a college and is equivalent to the first two years of a university course. Again, it is (usually) 100% coursework based but is by no means easier than going straight to university. After this the student may go straight into the third (or more rarely second) year at a university course of the same subject.
You do your degree in one subject and don’t pick a minor (generally).
And now for my somewhat more limited knowledge of the schooling system in the USA. It’s a generalisation, I think there are variations between different schools and different states. I can’t guarantee I’m correct.
Kindergarten:
Age 5-6
Primary School:
Age 6-7 = 1st Grade
Age 7-8 = 2nd Grade
Age 8-9 = 3rd Grade
Age 9-10 = 4th Grade
Age 10-11 = 5th Grade
Junior High School:
Age 11-12 = 6th Grade
Age 12-13 = 7th Grade
Age 13-14 = 8th Grade
High School:
Age 14-15 = 9th Grade
Age 15-16 = 10th Grade
Age 16-17 = 11th Grade (SATs generally taken this year which are different to the English Sats – which no longer exist)
Age 17-18 = 12th Grade
College (or university):
Generally age 18-22
It takes 4 years to do a Bachelors degree, and you pick the subject you’re majoring in along with a minor(s), plus you take other classes to gain credits.
