The basic differences in the higher education system of British and American universities are reflected in the different time of studying for undergraduate degree and the different ways of choosing major.<br>In the United States, the undergraduate degree usually takes four years to complete, and the first two years of many universities are basically non professional courses. At this time, students will learn many courses, and the courses of different majors have something in common. They can use this to accumulate credits for their undergraduate degrees, and at the same time slowly find out the advantages and disadvantages of their interest points and disciplines, so that they can clearly determine their major and minor majors.<br>In the UK, it takes three years to study for a bachelor's degree (4 years for a bachelor's degree in Scotland). Some famous universities have special requirements for preparatory education, ranging from three months to one year. Once a student is admitted to any university in the UK, they need to consider their own major. So it has also been said that British students actually pay more attention to choosing the major of a university than the university itself.<br>Once a student selects a degree to study, they only need to study professional courses and elective courses related to the degree, which means that the course content he studies may not be very broad, but it will be very deep, focusing on a specific field. In addition, the continuing education that some British students attend after middle school is also a major feature of British education. Britain attaches great importance to vocational education, which is also at the forefront of the world.<br>Second, the focus of extracurricular life of British and American college students is not the same.<br>British schools have a long tradition of sports, but many universities prefer to spend most of their money on building learning facilities, hiring high-level professors, and supporting students' academic research, which ensures their unparalleled rigorous academic tradition. Of course, this is not absolute.<br>
