One of my very good friends, Dickson from Kenya (one my audience on WESYC) asked me one time, ‘Maxwell, which country is best for me to study aviation?’

Once he mentioned country, I knew he meant universities in that country.

And from my own experience seeking to study in Australia few years ago, I first sought information to help me make a decision whether Australia was best for my course but couldn’t find.

Majority of international students wanting to study in the UK are asking similar questions. I have many of such queries in my inbox, though answered.

Nobody wants to go through the long process of studying abroad only to be ranked poorly in their field.

Don’t get me wrong. Although universities and colleges all around the world run variety of courses well, there are courses they are best in (by country).

This is explain why applicants seek to know the best countries to study their desired courses. Its understandable.

You would agree that no two persons have equal abilities, just as no two institutions are exactly the same in quality.

Even in your home country, you have an idea about the courses run so well by specific universities in your country. In fact the universities are reputable for those courses.

Moreover, the UK is a choice destination for a good number of international students. It is for their sake, including you, that I wrote this article. It aims to give you my thoughts on the best courses to study in the UK.

I have a close friend, Tommy. He currently studies medicine in London. He is from a rich background. Before he had an admission offer to study in UK, he was already in second year of medical school at a Chinese university.

All the while in Beijing, he was applying to a UK university. He finally got an offer and eventually departed China for the UK to start his course.

Now he is in his fourth year in the UK and he tells me the quality of Medicine at his former school is nowhere near what he is being exposed to at his present school in UK.

In terms of tutors, facilities, and medical school in general, he added.

That’s one of the many conversations I had with international students whom have been opportune to study Medicine at two different countries for one reason or the other.

This is not to say China and other countries is not best for some courses. This is to say that when it comes to Medicine, the UK is head and shoulder above the rest.
