About UK

About UK.The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom (UK) or Britain is a sovereign state in Europe. Lying off the north-western coast of the European mainland, the country includes the island of Great Britain – a term also applied loosely to refer to the whole country-the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands.
The United Kingdom is a developed country and has the world’s fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP and tenth-largest economy by purchasing power parity.
The UK is the world’s second most popular destination for international students (after the US), with the strong reputation of UK universities continuing to give a competitive advantage to those who gain a UK degree.
According to the Tracking International Graduate Outcomes survey (from the Department for Business Innovation and Skills), international students in the UK are more likely to earn higher salaries after graduation than if they’d studied at home.
So the overall cost to study in the UK may well be counterbalanced by future returns.
Nature has blessed New Zealand to touch sun rays and start the everyday first.
