Why Study in U.K ?

Universities in the United Kingdom consistently rank among the top in the world. As a result, studying in the United Kingdom is highly appreciated and acknowledged worldwide. Students studying in the United Kingdom meet people from all over the world and share their diverse backgrounds. Universities in the United Kingdom are routinely audited to verify that they meet the government's high requirements for learning, teaching, and research. The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education is the major body in charge of maintaining these requirements. Students from India who want to study UG and PG programmes in the UK will find that the courses are shorter than in other nations. Undergraduate programmes last three years, and postgraduate programmes last one year. This keeps the cost of education and living down.

Top Courses

At over 370 providers in UK, there are over 37,000 undergraduate courses offered. Study in UK for Indian students generally ranges to five popular courses that have immense demand.

  • Architecture Building Planning
  • The course is about planning and designing structures, and putting those plans into effect. Architecture deals with using a blend of creativity and scientific knowledge to develop structures of all shapes and sizes.

  • Business Management and Maths
  • As UK education consultants we receive an ambit of students looking to study Business and Management programs, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. At the graduate level, the MBA appeals to those who already possess significant professional experience in a business and management role. This remains a very lucrative option and offers high returns in terms of career progression.

  • Computer Science
  • Generally, students who decide to study in UK from India pursue a Computer Science degree. This deals with the theoretical foundations of information and computation, taking a scientific and practical approach to computation and its applications.

  • Creative Arts
  • The Bachelor of Creative Arts program provides students with exciting opportunities for a future in the creative arts. Students will become specialists in creative theory and its cultural context.

  • Engineering
  • Engineering courses usually place emphasis on mathematical and scientific knowledge. Universities in UK encourage students to put that knowledge into practice through design projects and networking with industry tycoons. These help build background skills that will be useful in the workplace, such as teamwork and management capability.

  • Law
  • A Law degree is generally preparation for a legal career. Through this program, students learn general skills which include the research, interpretation and explanation of complex subjects, analytical thinking and practical problem solving, oral communication, negotiation, teamwork, attention to detail, and the ability to draft formal documents.

    Other popular courses to study in UK include:

  • English Literature and Media
  • Geography
  • History
  • Languages
  • Law
  • Medicine & Dentistry
  • Nursing and Health
  • Politics
  • Career Opportunities

    The UK is one of the largest economies in Europe and several statistics show that in the past few years, UK has seen a significant fall in the unemployment rate. This reflects that study in UK for Indian students is an impeccable opportunity

  • Part-Time Employment in the UK
  • Students can work up to 20 hours a week during term time and full-time during holidays.

    Students pursuing a course below the degree level will only be able to work 10 hours a week (this has been reduced from 20 hours). However, this does not include Foundation Degree students. Students planning to study in UK from India can expect to earn around £ 5 - £ 7/hour i.e., approximately £375 - £525/month during the term.

    As UK education consultants we advise students to look for part-time jobs by browsing local newspapers and job shops as well as the Universities and Colleges career cells. However, please note that students are not guaranteed part-time employment by the University.

    Students looking to study in UK for six months or less, cannot work nor extend their visas further.

  • Employment in UK After Graduating
  • To attract international students, the government altered the study visa rules for international students. Through the new scheme, international students from an ambit of countries which includes India can stay back in the UK for two years upon the completion of the course. Until recently, those who study in UK from India received a stay back of a mere four to six months respectively.

    The new visa applies to students studying any subject at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The new visa will require a new application, compromising of payments of visa and health surcharge.

    A prominent benefit to study in UK for Indian students is that it now gives them an opportunity to look for jobs. Once the graduate finds an appropriate job, they can switch to the skilled work segment which is a route towards settlement. Moreover, this doesn't restrict the type of jobs students are permitted to undertake.

    Although universities have opened their doors to international students, the rules still remain stringent in accepting the academically eminent.

    The new route is set to be launched in the summer of 2021, meaning eligible graduates in the summer of 2021 (Academic Year 2020-21) will be able to apply for this route. This also includes those who have already commenced their course.

    Thus now, study in UK for Indian students includes an application under this route after the completion of the program, within the validity of their visa to gain exposure.

    Careers in the field of Information Economy, Oil and Gas, Construction, Graphic Designers, Animators, Health Care, Restaurants, Medical Consultants, etc are prominent.

    Further, courses vary in length. Students may have the option of pursuing a foundation course and deciding later whether they want to carry on studying and 'top-up' to a full degree.

    FAQ's

  • As UK education consultants here are a few Frequently Asked Questions we receive:
  • Are there any benefits offered to international students when they decide to study in UK? International students receive two main benefits:
    NHS (National Health Service): All international students who study in UK for 6 months or more qualify for Health Care. There is a nominal charge for the same which a student pays at the time of Visa application.
    National Union of Students: Many discounts are negotiated on behalf of their student members on things like books, stationery, food, clothes, travel and entertainment. All students are entitled to free NUS membership.

  • As a student looking to study in UK will I get a refund if my visa is refused?
  • If your visa is refused and you have paid a deposit to your institution for tuition fees, then you will receive a refund of the deposit. This will happen when you send the institution a copy of your visa refusal letter from the High Commission. A few institutions deduct a small amount usually no more than £ 100 for administrative charges.

  • How can I fund my study in UK?
  • The quality education, international exposure and the boost received to one's career are the many benefits of studying in UK. Study in UK for Indian students can be sourced through family funds, bank loans, scholarships, bursaries, sponsorships etc. Students can also utilize bank loans, savings accounts and fixed deposits maintained for a period of 28 days. Most nationalized banks offer student loans at competitive rates for considerable time periods, which may enable a larger section of students to study abroad. However, they will ask for collateral security to be pledged. You can even consider the possibility of an international bank loan. For further details kindly ask your Edwise counsellor.

  • Should i pay a deposit?
  • Some universities in UK require the students to pay part of their tuition fees in advance, in order to reserve a place. As UK education consultants, we recommend that all students should make a deposit payment as it facilitates getting a student visa.

  • How are the Universities in UK rated?
  • UK Universities do not have a formal ranking system, but the government takes the responsibility to monitor and control the quality of education provided through the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. The Government conducts a Research Assessment Exercise once every 5 years, which determines the level of research activity in a university department. The departments are graded as high as 5* and as low as 1. General League Tables prepared by newspapers like the Sunday Times and Financial Times can also be checked.

  • How do I work out the cost to study in UK from India?
  • The cost of education consists of tuition fee for the first twelve months and food and maintenance for the first nine months @ GBP 1015 -/ GBP 1265 per month (as the case may be) irrespective of the length of your program. If the program is less than 9 months, you can calculate proportionately.
