People and Culture

The UK has a very multicultural society and is very open to new religions and cultures. While also keeping long-held traditions like maintaining a royal party, the UK has changed greatly and has become much more cosmopolitan and multicultural. The UK is seen as a destination of great diversity with London being the hub for many international students.

Religion

The main religion in the UK is Christianity which makes up about 50 percent of the religious population, largely split between the Church of England and Catholicism. In addition to Christianity, the UK has large numbers of practicing members of other major world religions, as follows:

Christian: 50.7%

Muslim: 2.5%

Hindu: 0.7%

Jewish: 0.6%

Sikh: 0.3%

Buddhist: 0.6%

Other non-Christian: 1.5%

Language

The main language in the UK is English, which is spoken throughout the whole country. In Wales, some people still speak Welsh. However, since all Welsh people also speak English, you only need to speak English in the UK. For such a relatively small country, there are a lot of dialects, and some of them can be hard to understand, even for English people. Dialects can include:

Cockney: people from London (and probably the most common)

Brummy: people from Birmingham

Mancunian: people from Manchester

West Country: people from Devon, Cornwall and Bristol area

Scouser: people from the Liverpool area

Geordie: people from Newcastle, Middlesborough, and Sunderland

Scottish: people from Scotland

Welsh: people from Wales.

UK attitudes and values

It is not just a useless platitude that the UK is an open and multicultural society. It is a fact that has a massive impact on how we live and also on how comfortable international students are in the country. In the UK it is possible not only to meet a wide variety of people but also to feel accepted yourself for who you are no matter where you are from.

Here are some of the most famous attitudes and values in British people and culture, and why they contribute to improving student life for all.

Tolerance

The UK is one of the most tolerant societies in the world, with people being open to the inclusion of all without emphasis on their ethnic background, sexual orientation or place of origin. Although levels with diversity vary in different parts of the country, you don’t need to be in London to feel the tolerance and respect that British people have for others. Overall this is great not just for British postgraduates leaving their communities for the first time but also for international postgraduates who fear how welcome they will be as a ‘foreigner’ in a new country. If on the off-chance you do encounter some unseemly behavior, UK laws on discrimination, harassment and other problems students face are extremely stringent. This means that if you ever experience a problem, you will have the law handily on your side.

Entrepreneurial Spirit

‘Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps’ is a tradition dear to many people in the UK and one that is reflected in British universities. People from all kinds of socioeconomic backgrounds are present at UK universities meaning that the amount of money you have is not a factor in your social acceptance. As long as you work hard and to the best of your ability, there is no discrimination or bias against those who have come from humbler beginnings.

Community

Tight-knit communities are the staple of British society and that is often reflected well in university cities and towns. Whether you study in Bath or Bangor, the sense of welcoming and community is palpable between students and the residents of their area. Because university students are often involved in philanthropic projects that benefit communities, it is easy to get involved and feel local pride for a place even when you are an ‘outsider’.

Humor

In addition to all these serious notes on British attitudes and values, perhaps the most distinguishing part of the British character is humor. British people are the masters of jokes and satire, and everyone from cab drivers to Prince Charles is known for cracking a good quip or two. Humor is a great part of British attitudes and culture because it helps put people at ease and also to helps them feel part of society.

Tradition

The strange and quirky traditions of the UK are often things that British people take for granted but serve to delight and bemuse the international visitors. Whether it is our love of the Queen or our need for a Sunday Roast, traditions are what make Britain interesting. But just because our traditions are old does not mean we are not willing to incorporate the new. British people respect the past at the same time as embracing change, meaning even the oldest of universities retain their old-style charm while still being excellent modern institutions.
