Universities and colleges in the UK

The present work is titled “Traditions of Higher Education in the UK, Oxbridge” and is aimed at detailed description and analysis of English system of higher education by the example of two greatest English Universities: Oxford and Cambridge. I have chosen this theme, because it is interesting for me to learn more about foreign higher education and it is also very actual for young people.
