An Amalgamation of Cultures
To put it eloquently, the British society can be
considered as melting pot of various cultures and
ethnicities. The international student community
in the UK is diverse, and you will find students
from all over the world in the country. Research
conducted by Populas reports a significant
improvement in the attitude of the society
towards migration as well as non-natives. The
report says, and we quote that Britons are more
economically secure, and less anxious about
identity change. The same facts hold when it
comes to religious freedom and the society has
progressed itself towards a modern secularist
viewpoint.

UK universities, colleges and higher education
institutes follow practice-based learning
methodologies over bookish spoon feeding. Most
universities run a career development or
placement cell in order to assist students in
preparing for the workplace as well as to find
