United States: The undergraduate course is generally 4 years, and the master's degree is 1-2 years. Most universities in the United States have a credit system. General master's degree is 30-40 credits. If students can finish their credits ahead of time, they can graduate ahead of time, which is more flexible. The gold content of the degree is also very high.
Second, the differences in the nature of schools.
Britain: Almost all British universities are public universities. Besides Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial College, there are second-tier universities, such as Edinburgh University, Manchester University and Bristol University, which are all good choices.
United States: As the country with the largest number of colleges and universities in the world (4,800), it can provide colleges and universities for students of all backgrounds. Moreover, the world-renowned established universities are all in the United States, such as Ivy League institutions.

Third, the difference in tuition fees.
UK: Most postgraduate majors are the same, but some majors such as medicine and MBA will be higher. The cost of living is at least 10000, so the annual cost of studying abroad is about 300,000-350,000 RMB.
United States: Most of them are private universities, so the tuition and living expenses are relatively high, so the annual cost of studying abroad is about 550,000 RMB. But American universities will have many scholarships.
Fourth, the differences in teaching styles.
Britain: As we all know, the education system in Britain has a long history, which has a history of 700 years. Therefore, British universities have a rigorous style of study and a stable campus.
America: As one of the most developed countries in the world, it is second to none in both quality and quantity. Therefore, American universities will teach students the most advanced and developed educational concepts. In addition, American institutions of higher learning are well-known and competitive in the world.

Differences in employment opportunities of intransitive verbs
Britain, England
In Britain, except for teaching Chinese as a foreign language and pedagogy, it is basically difficult for international students majoring in other fields to stay in jobs. Because the British government must first ensure the employment rate of local people, in addition, the work visa in Britain is also relatively strict. Therefore, it is more difficult for foreign students from non-UK or non-EU countries to stay in jobs.
United States: The United States is an immigrant country, keen to leave overseas talents, and has extended an olive branch to international talents many times.
. Therefore, after graduation, international students will have 12-36 months full-time job opportunities, and it is easy to stay in the United States, with good and abundant employment opportunities. However, in the recent Sino-US trade war, it has become more difficult to obtain a work visa.
