University Course at Cambridge
The University course itself lasts 3 years and leads to a Bachelor's Degree (=first University degree) (=B. Sc.). Some of our graduates undertake further study either at Cambridge or at other Universities to obtain after one further year a Master's Degree (=second University degree) (M. Sc.) or after at least three years a Doctor f Philosophy degree (Ph, D.) (=third University degree) which is approximately equal to your Candidate's degree. 0f the remaining graduates, the large majority enter industries where they receive at least 2 years of further training before becoming qualified in their special field.
Science is taught largely through lectures and laboratory work. In addition there is a system of supervision at Oxford and Cambridge in which students spend a few hours each week with a University lecturer (a tutor) who is responsible for the individual student's academic progress.
There is a faculty of science in all British Universities although its name varies. This faculty includes the subjects usually blown as the sciences or, strictly speaking, the natural (physical) sciences: biology, chemistry, physics and their branches. In addition it often includes subjects related to these: geography, geology, mathematics, etc.

Most English Universities have a separate faculty of engineering although sometimes it is combined with the science faculty, it may be called (he faculty of technology or the faculty of applied (-put to practical use) science. The faculty of
engineering does not correspond to any faculty at a Russian University since in Russia engineering and technology are studied not at Universities but at polytechnical, technological or other more specialized Institutes.
