Future University

 Future University in Egypt (FUE) affirms a commitment to “an atmosphere that values intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge while preserving academic freedom and integrity”. FUE is thus committed to creating environments where freedom of inquiry occurs in a climate of inclusiveness and civility. Central to this commitment is the principle of treating each member of the University community fairly and with respect. To encourage such behavior, FUE prohibits discrimination, disrespect, and harassment and provides equal opportunities for all community members regardless of their race, color, religion, ethnic origin, ancestry, medical condition, marital status, gender, or age.

 If there is a vocabulary section on the exam, dedicate a portion of your study guide to key terms and definitions. Even if there’s not a vocabulary section on the exam, it’s still important to know key terms for when they appear in the context of a question. Knowing your vocabulary will help you feel more comfortable using important terms in your essay responses, which shows your instructor that you have a strong grasp on the exam material.

 Concept maps are a great way to study vocabulary, especially if you are a visual learner. To create a concept map, draw a shape around key terms and then draw lines to establish its relationship with other words or concepts.

 Visual example would be good here Visually mapping out the relationships between different vocabulary words not only helps you remember definitions, it also helps you establish important connections between key terms and concepts.

 It may not seem like a big deal, but it’s critical that you handwrite your study guide as opposed to creating it on a computer. While it’s often easier and faster to type something up, writing by hand requires you to slow down and think about the information you are transcribing. This gives you the added benefit of actually absorbing the information you need to study while you are in the process of creating your guide. If you do need to type out your study guide for whatever reason, it’s recommended that you print it out after you are finished. Reading a document on your computer screen won’t help you retain information and you’ll be prone to more distractions from the internet, such as social media notifications or emails.

 One of the biggest benefits of creating your own study guide is that you can tailor it to fit your learning style. Most people fall within five different types of learning styles: visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic. As a result, two students studying for the same test might have very different study guides.

 As an example, reading/writing learners may benefit from creating a more traditional study guide, such as the summary sheet, and repeatedly rewriting the material. Visual learners will benefit more from color-coding and creating concept maps in order to create meaningful connections between key concepts.

 Studying for exams can seem intimidating, but with the right approach, you can increase your chances of success. Creating a personalized study guide will help you review the information in a way that is most helpful to you and can help you improve your test scores as a result.

Choosing a university or college degree course is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a student.

 Three national rankings of universities in the United Kingdom are published annually – by The Complete University Guide, The Guardian and jointly by The Times and The Sunday Times. Rankings have also been produced in the past by The Daily Telegraph and Financial Times. UK Universities also rank highly in global university rankings with 8 UK Universities ranking in the top 100 of the three major global rankings - QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education World University Rankings and Academic Ranking of World Universities.

 The primary aim of the rankings is to inform potential undergraduate applicants about UK universities based on a range of criteria, including entry standards, student satisfaction, staff/student ratio, academic services and facilities expenditure per student, research quality, proportion of Firsts and 2:1s, completion rates and student destinations.[1][2] All of the league tables also rank universities on their strength in individual subjects.

 Each year since 2008, Times Higher Education has compiled a "Table of Tables" to combine the results of the 3 mainstream league tables. In the 2022 table, the top 5 universities were the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge the University of St Andrews, the London School of Economics and Imperial College.[3]

 a Number of times the university is ranked within the top 100 of one of the three global rankings. b The university is ranked within the top 25 of all three global rankings. c The university is ranked within the top 50 of all three global rankings. The following rankings of British universities are produced annually: The Complete University Guide The Complete University Guide is compiled by Mayfield University Consultants and was published for the first time in 2007.[7] The ranking uses ten criteria, with a statistical technique called the Z-score applied to the results of each.[8] The ten Z-scores are then weighted (as given below) and summed to give a total score for each university. These total scores are then transformed to a scale where the top score is set at 1,000, with the remainder being a proportion of the top score. The ten criteria are:[9]

 Academic services spend (weight 0.5) – the expenditure per student on all academic services (data source: Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA)); "Degree completion" (weight 1.0) – a measure of the completion rate of students (data source: HESA); "Entry standards" (weight 1.0) – the average UCAS tariff score of new students under the age of 21 (data source: HESA); "Facilities spend" (weight 0.5) – the expenditure per student on staff and student facilities (data source: HESA); "Good honours" (weight 1.0) – the proportion of firsts and upper seconds (data source: HESA);(now phased out) "Graduate prospects" (weight 1.0) – a measure of the employability of graduates (data source: HESA); "Research quality" (weight 1.0) – a measure of the average quality of research (data source: 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF)); Research intensity" (weight 0.5) – a measure of the fraction of staff who are research-active (data sources: HESA & REF); "Student satisfaction" (weight 1.5) – a measure of the view of students on the teaching quality (data source: the National Student Survey); and "Student–staff ratio" (weight 1.0) – a measure of the average staffing level (data source: HESA). The most recent league table (2023) ranked the top 50 (out of 130) British universities as follows:[10]

  The Times/The Sunday Times university league table, known as the Good University Guide,[14] is published in both electronic and print format and ranks institutions using the following eight criteria:[15]

 Student satisfaction (+50 to −55 points) – the results of national student surveys are scored taking a theoretical minimum and maximum score of 50% and 90% respectively (data source: the National Student Survey);

 Teaching excellence (250) – defined as: subjects scoring at least 22/24 points, those ranked excellent, or those undertaken more recently in which there is confidence in academic standards and in which teaching and learning, student progression and learning resources have all been ranked commendable (data source: Quality Assurance Agency; Scottish Higher Education Funding Council; Higher Education Funding Council for Wales);

 Heads'/peer assessments (100) – school heads are asked to identify the highest-quality undergraduate provision (data source: The Sunday Times heads' survey and peer assessment);

 Research quality (200) – based upon the most recent Research Assessment Exercise (data source: Higher Education Funding Council for England (Hefce));
