UK programs are significantly less expensive than programs in other top destinations for international students, including the U.S. Programs in the UK are shorter in length, which can decrease total expenditure by a large amount. Reputed universities in the UK offer MBAs, as well as the highly sought after one-year Masters Degree for almost all disciplines – opting for this not only saves you time, but money as well. The admission for these courses is based on the marks obtained at the undergraduate level in India. Under the new visa assessments, it is advisable to have obtained the given IELTS grades, especially for the undergraduate applicants, although sometimes the university/college may not necessarily ask for them.

Apart from its impact on your academic training, it has tremendous value as a personal experience that will broaden your horizons and propel your career to great heights.

 St. Catherine’s College
About Us:
St Catherine's College, which developed out of the St Catherine's Society, was founded in 1962. It is Oxford’s newest college and also one of its largest. This section of the website aims to offer an introduction to the college: its current staff, its procedures and policies, plus its history, buildings, and gardens. In this section you will also find details of the college's layout and location. In 2012, St Catherine’s will celebrate its first half century as a college. We will be reflecting with great pride on the achievements of the past five decades, and looking forward to a future that sees Oxford’s youngest, and largest, undergraduate and graduate college continue to be recognised as an outstanding institution for learning, education and research in the arts and sciences. The fiftieth anniversary of the College’s foundation will also afford us with an opportunity to acknowledge the fact that the roots of the present-day College extend back into the nineteenth century: St Catherine’s College rests firmly upon foundations built by the students and academics who were members of the Delegacy or, later, St Catherine’s Society.
The origin of today’s College was a ‘Delegacy’ (a non-collegiate organisation under the control of the University) founded in 1868 in order to provide access to an Oxford education for those who could not afford the costs of college membership. That mission is once again particularly relevant as we approach our 150th anniversary. The Delegacy initially occupied one room at the top of the Clarendon Building in Broad Street. In 1871 it was granted the use of the Old Convocation House in St Mary’s for worship and special occasions. In 1875 Gladstone contributed 180 books towards its first library. All the students then had to live in lodgings - as some still choose to - principally off the Cowley and Iffley Roads or in Jericho. They rapidly banded together in quasi-collegiate fashion for social and sporting purposes. A debate took place in 1869; music and history societies and a magazine followed. Colours – French grey, maroon, chocolate - were established by the Boat Club, its first boat having appeared on the river in 1876. From 1874 the hub of this extra curricular activity was the St Catharine’s [sic] Club, named from the eponymous Hall at the end of Broad Street where it met (now absorbed into Hertford College). The name continued to be spelled in promiscuous fashion until 1919 when the Club agreed that St Catherine’s was to be preferred (perhaps to distinguish it from St Catharine’s in Cambridge). The Club was officially recognised by the University as the St Catherine’s Society in 1931.
Meanwhile the Delegacy had progressed to two rooms in the newly built Examination Schools (only available in Michaelmas and Hilary Terms); thence to more satisfactory quarters at 74 High Street, and in 1936, after many abortive bids for expansion, to a new building (now the Music Faculty) designed by Sir Hubert Worthington on land in St Aldate’s sold by Christ Church. Two notably distinguished Masters of Balliol, Benjamin Jowett in the 1880s and AD Lindsay in the 1930s, were particularly helpful in furthering these changes. In 1930 the Revd V J K Brook was appointed Censor (Head) and remained so for twenty-one years doing much to consolidate the position of the Society. The nineteenth-century origins of the Society had developed particular bonds of fraternity between its members, who were inclined to be more active on its behalf than alumni of other colleges.
