英国两年制本科学位将于2019年9月强势推出！

较早前，EK留学君已经为大家安利了“英国两年制本科”。说时迟那时快，这么快就到了2019年，有不少童鞋都紧紧追问到底是不是真的要实行了？

根据最新消息，英国近日正式宣布：根据英国教育部的提议，英国下议院批准了两年制本科“快速学位”。

Legislation has been passed in the House of Lords, following approval from the Commons last week, which means students studying shorter university courses – such as three-year courses condensed into two – would save 20 per cent on tuition fees compared to traditional courses. For example, students who opt for a two-year degree will save at least £5,500 in total tuition costs compared to a standard three-year course. The regulations will now go to the House of Lords for approval.

划重点！

实施时间：2019年9月起

学费更省！与本科三年制（苏格兰地区四年制）相比，两年制学位总体上还是比较便宜的，至少可以为学生节省20％的学费，总计约5,500英镑。这些规定现在将提交上议院批准。

In addition to a saving on tuition fees, students will also benefit from a year without paying any maintenance costs through an accelerated course, which would allow them to access the workforce quicker.

同时，实行两年制本科给学生更多选择，除了省下一笔费用，可以更快毕业投入社会。

但有部分学生也会担心，两年制跟三年制本科有没有区别呢？

Accelerated degrees offer the same qualifications and are quality-assured in the same way as a standard degree, but delivered over a shorter, more intensive timespan. For example, a two-year accelerated degree will condense 3-year degrees with 30 weeks’ teaching into 2 years with 45 weeks’ teaching.

关于这一点，大家可以放心！“快速学位”符合与标准学位完全相同的质量保证措施，并将提供完全相同的资格等级，只是课程将在更短、更密集的时间内完成。例如，快速学位将会把3年制学位的30周课时浓缩为2年的45周课时。

那么，两年制学位到底有多大的好处？

1、对于学习能力强的学生来说，这个学位简直是为他们“量身定做”，别人需要三年时间学会的知识，他们可以争取两年内完成，更加灵活快捷！

2、对于想要节省留学成本的学生来说，可以省下一年的生活费及住宿费等额外开支，还能提前进入社会工作，减轻经济压力。
