Some universities,like Oxford and Cambridge in Britain,are residential,which means students live and study on campus.Other universities are non-residential,which means students have to spend a lot of time to travel daily to their lectures.//There are also part-time students who have to do their work during the day,and they study in the evening.Other part-time students have to study by correspondence.//”The Open Universities”can also help students to gain university degrees.Here,lectures are mainly given on radio or television.However,for a few weeks each year,students can attend vacation courses at universities.//For admission to any university degree course,a student has to pass qualifying examinations.In Britain,there are not enough places for asll secondary school students,so these qualifying examinations are highly competitive.//(2000,4)p147

　　英國有些大學(xué)，如牛津和劍橋提供學(xué)生住宿，這就是說學(xué)生在校園里學(xué)習(xí)和生活。其他一些學(xué)校則不提供住宿，也就是說學(xué)生每天要花不少時間到學(xué)校去聽講座。//還有一些利用業(yè)余時間學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生，他們白天必須工作，晚上學(xué)習(xí)。還有些業(yè)余學(xué)生則不得不通過函授學(xué)習(xí)。//“開放大學(xué)”也能幫助學(xué)生取得大學(xué)學(xué)位，大學(xué)主要通過廣播或電視播出講座。但是每年有幾個星期，學(xué)生能在大學(xué)里參加假期班的學(xué)習(xí)。//要想攻讀任何大學(xué)學(xué)位課程，學(xué)生必須通過入學(xué)資格考試。由于在英國沒有足夠的名額讓所有中學(xué)生進(jìn)入大學(xué)，因此，這些入學(xué)考試具有很強(qiáng)的競爭性。//
