Why the UK

Why Students Choose the UK

Students consistently make up one of the largest non-EU groups of international students in the UK, which means arriving there is less a leap into the unknown and more a step into an already well-established community. Student societies exist on most campuses, and the professional ties between international students and the UK run deep across law, medicine, business, and engineering. English-taught degrees remove the additional language transition many other study destinations require, and the post-study Graduate Route visa means the two years after graduation can be spent building a career in the UK.

Plan Around September or January

UK universities generally admit new students twice a year, a main September or October intake, and a smaller secondary intake in January, offered by some institutions and courses. Starting the process eight to twelve months before your intended intake gives enough time for admissions, CAS issuance, and visa processing.
