The first places in the ranking of the most prestigious universities in the world are occupied by educational institutions of the USA and Great Britain, however, along with the choice of a place of study, one must take into account the difference in the education system of these countries. Let's consider the main differences on several points. Until we delve into a comparison of the educational systems of the UK and the USA, we want to remind you that you can also study in English in Australia. This is a great option for those who like warmer climates.
