School in the uk

So I don’t get it ik someone 19 going To uni... so around what age to you finish high school ? Then I seen someone talk about collage at 16 then uni after college...? Someone explain this to me? It’s completely different in the us..

Are you from America?

US high school finishes at 18 right, and then to college (uni) right?
UK high school finishes at 16, then to college and finish at 18, and then onto uni.

Yes I am

And yes well most people finish 18-19 unless the get held back and then go to collage if they go... so what’s the difference between collage and uni ? Cus In the us it’s the same thing..

11 - 16 [Secondary School] This is a fixed period. When you complete your 5th year you have to leave to go to college.
16 - 18+ [College] You have to start college at 16 and stay until 18 by law but occasionally some people spend an extra year if they change their course.
18 - .. [Uni] You can start uni when you're 18 but a lot of people take a break between college and uni (Gap year). Technically you could start uni when you're 78 and finish when you're 83. There's no age limit.

In terms of difficulty i guess, school is level 1, college is level 2 and university is level 3.

The US probably just combines school and college together, my best guess anyway.

University for us is college for you! What we call college is also known as sixth form and is equivalent of junior and senior year. We just take big exams before we start it and specialise in a few subject at this point

As above, other than nomenclature regarding the word "college", in theory it's typical for UK students go to uni at the age of 18. However, students are funded by the local education authorities up until the age of 19, so some students will be slightly older depending on their route through further education.

Furthermore, taking a "gap year" after finishing secondary school, before starting university, is quite common - while usually students will have already applied and hold an acceptance to the university of their choice, and will have deferred entry for a year to engage in other activities, some students will decide later to do so and will apply to university in this gap year.

It's also not uncommon for students applying to Oxford and Cambridge (you can only apply to one in any given application cycle) who fail to get a place the first time to try and reapply during a gap year (usually at a different college at the same one, although sometimes they will switch their application to the other if both offer the course). In a similar vein, some students find they do much better than expected, and while there is a process to allow them to "trade up" to an extent in the same application cycle, they may decide to take a gap year to apply to "higher ranked" universities.

Additionally, "mature students" applying to universities is a lot more common in the UK than in the US, who are defined as students over the age of 21.

School
College
University

Simple as that

We don't tend to refer to a university as a college, that's an American thing. College here is usually part of the Further Education system. It's not the same as going to university. Secondary school (high school) is part of the statutory education system.

Yea I was saying like the ages it happens cus I’ve seen people make threads about collage n they are only 16 but the other saying stuff about uni n they are 18-19.. so I was like wow it’s completely different there and was just curious..

In Scotland you can go to University at 16 and I know people who have. We stay in school until 18 (6th year) but you can apply for university in 5th year. I know someone who was 16 when she went but that was only because she had a late birthday and was in 5th year. So as a way to think, you need to be in 5th year in Scotland to atleast apply to university.

That’s cool... man I wish I didn’t live here no more l could have been out of uni by now and have a amazing job...
