The start of university classes here after summer is usually October (with colleges and schools starting September) - they finish for summer around May time at university (June/July for colleges and schools July). |

May I ask is there a difference between college and university in England. Well, here it has no difference at all. They both mean higher education after finishing high school. Thanks for helping!  |

The differences between College and University have become blurred over the years here. University normally is a place where one 'reads' for a degree and becomes a Bachelor of Arts or bachelor of Science. further degrees such as Master, and Doctor (PhD) are extensions of study and research and include writing of a thesis or dissertation. Colleges on the other hand, provider further and higher Education, some diplomas and certificates, which often provide the foundations of a degree course. As I said, the distinctions become blurred, but both Colleges and Universities provide professional qualifications to students, who may study full or part time. I hope that answers your query. If you have any more questions I will be glad to help you!

I too have friends from the Philippines, and I had a really super chat to a lovely lady living there when I called to get my Dell computer sorted out. She was lovely, didn't solve my computer problem, but we had a really good talk (two hours I believe). So, I hope you enjoy visiting here on POE, we look forward to getting to know you. |
