There are 44 universities (not counting the Open University) in Britain. Although the Goverment is responsible for providing about 80 per cent of universities income it does not control their work or teaching nor does it have direct dealings with the universities.The grants are distributed by the Secretary of State for Education and Science.
The English universities are: Aston (Birmingham), Bath, Birmingham, Bradford Bristol, Brunel (London), Cambridge, City (London), Durham, East Anglia ,Essex, Exeter, Hull, Keele, Kent at Centerbury, Lancaster, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle upon Tyne, Nottingham, Oxford, Reading, Saford, Sheffield, Southhampton, Surrey, Sussex, Warwick and York. The federated University of Wales includes five university colleges, the Welsh National School of Medicine, and the University of Wales Institute of Science and Technology.The Scottish universities are: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Belfast, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt (Edinburgh), St. Andrews, Stirling, and Strathclyde (Glasgow).In Northen Ireland there is Queen"s University, Belfast, and the New University of Ulster in Coleraine.
The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge date from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and the Scottish Universities of St. Andrews, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. All the other universities were founded in the nineteenth or twentieth centuries.
There are five other institutions where the work is of university standard: the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology ; the two post- graduate business school which are supported jointly by industry and the Government - the Manchester Business School and the London Graduate School of Business Studies, associated with the London School of Economics and the Imperial College of Science and Technology ; Cranfield Institute of Technology for mainly post- graduate work in aeronautics and other subjects ; and the Royal College of Art.
My coming to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions - and they go back so far! Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the Past, the Present and even the Future. It"s easy to see both how the past has moulded the present and how the present is giving shape to the future. So let me tell you a little of what this University town looks like and how it came to be here at all. The story of the University begins, so far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. As was the custom then, they had joined themselves into a "Universitas" of Society - the word "University", like the word "College", meant originally a society of people with a common employment ; it was only later it came to be associated with scholarship.
These students were all churchmen and had been studying in Oxford at that city"s well-known schools. It was a hard life at Oxford for there was constant trouble between the townsfolk and the students. Then one day a student accidentally killed a man of the town. The Mayor arrested three other students, who were innocent, and by order of King John (who was quarrelling with the Church and knew that the death of three clergymen would annoy it) they were put to death by hanging. In protest, all the students moved elsewhere, some coming to Cambridge; and so the new University began.
There took place a new quarrel with the townsfolk, for the University was anxious to be independent of the Town, and the Town was equally anxious for authority over the new student population. "Town" and "Gown" battles were frequent.
The boarding-houses and shopkeepers cheated the students, who very soon organized themselves under an elected leader called a Chancellor, and he fixed prices that should be paid. Gradually the University gained control.
Side by side with the fight for freedom from Town rule was another for liberty from Church rule, until by 1500 the University was its own master at last. Of course there were no Colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it is now. Students were of all ages and came from every - where. Those from the same part of the country tended to group together and these groups called "Nations" still exist, by the way, at some European Univer- sities.
The students were armed; some even banded together to rob the people of the countryside. Gradually, the idea of the College developed and in 1284 Peterhouse the oldest College in Cambridge, was founded.
Life in College was strict ; students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance.
I think everybody knows that education is necessary to be successful in our life. I would like to work in the field of physical culture and sports in future and to become a professional sportsman and a basketball coach. To get my profession I need a university graduation. So after finishing school I passed the entrance exams and entered Chuvash State Pedagogical University, the faculty of physical education. It will be a long course – five years of hard and constant studies: lectures, seminars, practical classes and test periods. The academic year lasts for 10 months and there are vacations twice a year: in winter and summer. I feel proud of my faculty as among its graduates are the winners of many Olympic games and the world champions.
The University is very old, it was founded in 1930 in the centre of the capital of Chuvash Republic – Cheboksary city. It was named for the talented Chuvash teacher Ivan Yakovlev. The establishment has developed rapidly since then, now it has become one of the largest universities of Russia. Today it gives students an opportunity to choose higher and post-graduate educational programs for 42 professions. The education is provided by qualified specialists, professors and doctors. There are 12 full-time faculties at the University which enroll more than 6000 students. There are the faculties of Music and Art, Foreign languages, Psychology, Science, History and Philology, Pre-school education and many others. The University includes 6 academic buildings with spacious classrooms, a modern library, a reading-room, well-equipped laboratories and workshops, computer rooms, gymnasiums and dining-rooms.
I’m sure that studying at Chuvash State Pedagogical University will give me much knowledge, in theory and practice, and prepare me for effective and interesting work.
Думаю, все знают, что образование необходимо для того, чтобы быть успешным в жизни. Я бы хотел работать в сфере физкультуры и спорта в будущем и стать профессиональным спортсменом и тренером по баскетболу. Для получения профессии мне нужно окончить университет. Поэтому после окончания школы я сдал вступительные экзамены и поступил в Чувашский Государственный Педагогический Университет, на факультет физического образования. Это будет длинный курс – пять лет усердной и постоянной учебы: лекций, семинаров, практических занятий и зачетных сессий. Академический год длится 10 месяцев, и дважды в году есть каникулы: зимой и летом. Я чувствую гордость за свой факультет, так как среди его выпускников есть победители многих Олимпийских игр и мировые чемпионы.
Университет очень старый, он был основан в 1930 году в центре столицы Чувашской республики – города Чебоксары. Он был назван в честь талантливого чувашского учителя Ивана Яковлева. Учреждение быстро развивалось с тех пор, сейчас оно стало одним из крупнейших университетов России. Сегодня оно предоставляет студентам возможность выбрать высшие и послевузовские образовательные программы по 42 профессиям. Образование дают квалифицированные специалисты, профессора и доктора. В университете имеется 12 очных факультетов, на которые зачислено более 6000 студентов. Есть факультеты музыки и искусства, иностранных языков, психологии, науки, истории и филологии, дошкольного образования и многие другие. Университет состоит из 6 академических зданий с просторными классами, современной библиотекой, читальным залом, оборудованными лабораториями и мастерскими, компьютерными залами, спортзалами и столовыми.
Я уверен, что обучение в ЧГПУ даст мне много знаний, в теории и практике, и подготовит меня к эффективной и интересной работе.

Сочинение на английском языке Мой университет/ My University с переводом на русский язык бесплатно
Перевод на русский язык. Мой университет
Меня зовут Алексей Ушаков. Мне 18 лет. Я хотел бы сказать несколько слов о своем университете. Я живу и учусь в Краснодаре. Это большой город на юге России. Он расположен на реке Кубань и является административным центром Краснодарского края. В Краснодаре есть много университетов и колледжей и город полон студентов. Тем не менее, я решил учиться в одном из крупнейших университетов города, Кубанском государственном университете. Моя отрасль филология и я собираюсь стать учителем иностранных языков. КубГУ был создан в сентябре 1920 года. С тех пор он подготовил более 100 тысяч специалистов, в том числе и большое количество иностранных студентов. В 1994 году КубГУ был награжден правительством России как одно из ведущих высших учебных заведений в стране. В настоящее время я студент этого университета, и горжусь этим. Я знаю, что многие подростки мечтают обучаться здесь, но вступительные экзамены не из легких. Я усиленно учился, чтобы стать студентом этого университета. На данный момент, я также являюсь членом Комитета студенческого союза и принимаю активное участие в повседневной студенческой жизни. Наш комитет отвечает за улучшение условий для студентов, за координацию таких студенческих мероприятий, как концерты, спортивные мероприятия, мероприятия по сбору средств, волонтерская работа и т.д. КубГУ также является членом Европейской и Евразийской ассоциаций университетов. Вот почему у нас в университете часто проходят международные конференции. Существуют также частые международные программы, основанные на образовательном обмене. В прошлом году, например, у меня была возможность поехать в Англию в качестве участника такого обмена, но мне нужно было сдать ещё несколько экзаменов. Поэтому я решил отложить эту возможность. Надеюсь, что я смогу участвовать в этой программе в следующем году.
Что с ними можно делать? Да всё, что угодно - рисовать, придумывать ассоциации, раскрашивать, вырезать, лепить, расшифровывать (мои дети любят играть в переводчиков секретных магических языков) и так далее! Основная задача учителей - замотивировать детей,
Основой фамилии Петров послужило церковное имя Петр. Фамилия Петров восходит к каноническому мужскому имени Петр (в переводе с др.греч. камень, скала). Фамилия Петров - одна из 10 самых частых в России (на некоторых территориях до 6-7 человек на тысячу).
Достаточно уметь хорошо готовить бисквит на сметане, чтобы регулярно баловать близких потрясающими выпечками. Готовое угощение можно подавать, как самостоятельное сладкое дополнение к молоку или чаю или же использовать в качестве основы составного торта.
