Translating Higher Ed-Speak from US to UK

NewCity does a lot of work in higher education. We've done a few projects in the UK in addition to our customer base in the US. One of the most fun aspects of that work is learning to translate between Higher Ed lingo in the US and the UK.

It wouldn't be so hard if it wasn't for the fact that we use a lot of the same words to mean different things! George Bernard Shaw's maxim "England and America are two countries separated by a common language," holds true in higher ed.

Melissa Beaver and I just returned from doing some on-site audience research with the University of Portsmouth, and these are fresh in my mind so I thought I'd share. Please point out any mistakes and let us know what you'd add to the list.

Owning it for the past few months has been a blast, and I get a lot of questions whenever I take it out. So, here's a compilation of the top five questions I'm sick of hearing people often have on their mind.
