British & Canadian Universities

<p>I’m pretty sure the Scottish universities’ programs are 4 years. Canadian universities’ bachelor’s programs typically require about half the courses to be in your major, putting it in between the American norm (usually somewhere around 30-40%) and the British model (where often 100% of your studies are in your major subject).</p>

<p>Oxford and Cambridge have tutoral methods where there aren’t formal classroom courses…which could be a disaster for students who aren’t accustomed to working on their own.</p>

<p>In Canada, U of Toronto, McGill, Waterloo, Queen’s U., and U of British Columbia are usually considered the big names.</p>
