Extractions: Bath is an appropriate name for a town blessed with natural Hot Springs. It was the Romans that created the baths we see today, with the Citys history originating back to 44AD. The city has an impressive Abbey (973) and indeed, has enough historical importance to have earned its UNESCO status. Its simply a breath of fresh air to walk Baths streets that are blessed with some elegant British architecture. Newcastle is Northeast Englands largest city with a population of 215,000. It straddles the River Tyne and indeed, perhaps Newcastles most famous landmark is the Tyne Bridge, a huge wrought iron structure that was completed in 1928. Originally, Newcastle was an industrial city at the forefront of the coal mining industry, as well as being an important centre for steel manufacturing and also ship building.

United Kingdom Time and Date United Kingdom Culture Back to Top English culture tends to dominate the cultural life of the United Kingdom, but Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have also made important contributions, as have the cultures that British colonialism brought into contact with the homeland. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland share fully in the common culture but also preserve lively traditions that predate political union with England. (For discussions of the various arts and the major cultural institutions, see the sections on cultural life in the articles England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.) That said, it is possible to offer some general comment on British cultural life. oldest examples of British architecture include a few small, squarish Anglo-Saxon buildings. After the Norman Conquest in 1066, Norman architecture became prevalent in the British Isles. The Normans built monumental castles and churches with enormous arches and huge columns. Their style was called Romanesque on the Continent. The greatest structures built by the Normans are the White Tower, which is part of the Tower of London, and the castle, cathedral, and monastery complex at Durham. From the 12th to the 15th century gracefully soaring spires and arches marked the development of the great Gothic cathedrals; two of these, Westminster Abbey in London and Lincoln Cathedral, still dominate the skylines of their cities. Between 1485 and 1625, the English started to incorporate some classic Roman and ornate elements of the Italian Renaissance into Tudor, Elizabethan, and Jacobean styles.

Extractions: London - UK ... UK London London London is a cosmopolitan mixture of the Third and First worlds, of chauffeurs and beggars, of the establishment, the avowedly working class and the avant-garde. Unlike comparable European cities, much of London looks unplanned and grubby, but that is part of its appeal. Visiting London is like being let loose on a giant-sized Monopoly board clogged with traffic. Even though you probably won't know where the hell you are, at least the names will look reassuringly familiar. The city is so enormous, visitors will need to make maximum use of the underground train system: unfortunately, this dislocates the city's geography and makes it hard to get your bearings. HISTORY: Although a Celtic community settled around a ford across the River Thames, it was the Romans who first developed the square mile now known as the City of London. They built a bridge and an impressive city wall, and made the city an important port and the hub of their road system. The Romans left, but trade went on. Few traces of London dating from the Dark Ages can now be found, but London survived the incursions of both the Saxons and Vikings. Fifty years before the Normans arrived, Edward the Confessor built his abbey and palace at Westminster.

Extractions: Map from used by permission of Microsoft Corporation. Higher Education. In the United Kingdom, higher education is available in universities, colleges and institutes of higher education. The typical undergraduate degree (B.A. Hons.) takes three years to complete in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and four years in Scotland. Traditional universities tend to emphasize academic preparation in the arts and sciences, while newer institutions may emphasize more practical studies such as business and the technological professions. The 1980s and 90s brought major changes to higher education in the United Kingdom. Traditionally an elitist system available to very few, the emphasis now is on broadening access and greatly increasing the numbers of students attending higher education. Access to higher education still is largely determined by the "A" Level examinationsspecialized exams in up to four subjects taken at age 18. However, university admissions has opened up in recent years allowing entry to students lacking traditional "A" level entry qualifications as well as to non-traditional students. While in the past, students were not expected to pay tuition or fees and often received full grants for room and board, there has been an increasing emphasis on students sharing a greater share of their university expenses. More emphasis is placed on independent, self-directed study in the United Kingdom than in the United States. Students write more and take fewer exams. Modules often consist of lectures, seminars and tutorials. Degrees are awarded as 1st Class, Upper 2nd Class, Lower 2nd Class, and 3rd Class. Individual modules are usually graded on a percentile basis, with 40-45 a minimal pass (D), and 70 and higher considered very good (A). The academic year runs from September or October to June on the quarter system, although some universities are shifting to a semester system.
