After my +2 completion, I am planning to go to UK for undergraduation. Like in India is it three year course? What is the structure of the course offered there?

Normally the UG courses are offered for three years. In UK too. But some universities offer it for two years. Depending on the course of graduation too, the year varies. Eg: Professional courses like Architecture, Dentistry, Medicine, Veterinary Sciences can take between five and seven years.
The structure is as follows:
Single honours - One subject studies within which specialist options are offered.
Joint honours - involves the study of two separate but equal subjects which may be related or even unrelated (e.g. Business Management and Chemistry)
Combined honours - usually requires the study of several subjects which may or may not be related, often narrowing to two or three subjects as the course progresses.
Major or minor - e.g. Business Management with Media Studies in which Business Management is major and Media Studies minor.
Sandwich courses - offered in subjects like Engineering, Hotel and Catering etc. These courses entail working on a project or assignment in the industry for a short period as part of the course.
