Why to study in UK?
The UK has become one of the top destinations to study around the world.
With traditions of excellence dating back hundreds of years, high class
institutions in every corner and much more flexibility than many other
countries, the United Kingdom has much to offer international students that
other English-speaking countries cannot offer.
Hundreds of thousands of international student’s studies in the UK each year,
making studying in the UK the number two choice for international students in
the world, second only to the USA. Also, why to choose UK as because of:
Growing Destination:- International students have always been an
important presence in the UK, and their numbers have been growing steadily over
the years. There are many countries like USA, China, India, Malaysia, Hong Kong,
Germany and France etc from where students are relocating to UK for their higher
education.
Worldwide Destination:- Degrees and qualifications from UK higher
education institutions are known around the world as high quality and world
class. This standard of excellence is set by some of the older universities with
recognizable names, such as Oxford and Cambridge, but the tradition carries
through too many of the universities and colleges throughout the UK.
Education cost are lower:- The cost of education for an international
student in the UK can be and is generally lower compared to the USA and other
countries. Programs in the USA can be $25,000 or more a year in tuition alone.
Tuition for the majority of UK higher education institutions generally £6,000 to
£7,000 a year - considerably less!
Because your degree will generally take less time to complete in the UK than in
other countries, this will also save you money. Although four-year programs are
increasing in popularity, most degree programs in the UK are three years, and a
master’s program is typically between one and two years.
Gateway to Europe:- From the UK, you can reach out to most areas of
Europe within a few hours by train or direct flight.
Multicultural Nation:- The UK is known for its multicultural society,
with all religions and faiths represented in some way. With a racial, ethnic and
religious jumble, the UK is very open to new traditions and cultures - something
that is a great thing for students from other countries.
UK Academic Programs and Universities:
UK Universities have a comparative advantage in the following areas of study.
There are three main levels of Higher Education course:
Postgraduate courses leading to higher degrees, diplomas and certificates
(including Doctorate, Masters (research and taught), Postgraduate diplomas and
certificates as well as postgraduate certificates of education (PGCE) and
professional qualifications) which usually require a first degree as entry
qualification.
Undergraduate courses which include first degrees (honours and ordinary), first
degrees with qualified teacher status, enhanced first degrees, first degrees
obtained concurrently with a diploma, and intercalated first degrees (where
first degree students, usually in medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine,
interrupt their studies to complete a one-year course of advanced studies in a
related topic).

The cost of tuition in the UK will vary depending on a great many number of
factors. Things such as the location of the school, the type of course you plan
to attend, the length of the course, etc... will all have a bearing on how much
it will cost at the end of the day.
These below are all approx. numbers as this tuition fee structure may vary as
per the course and degree programs.
ESL Programs
English as a second language course will generally in the region of £100 to £200
per week - but this can rise up to £1,000 per week if you include things like
meals, accommodation, etc... that some schools will arrange for you.

As a guideline you can expect to pay between £6,000 and £9,000/ year for
courses. If your course is specialized, such as a clinical program for doctors,
this can be as much as £18,000 per year. You will have to factor in that most
university degrees last for 3 years, and 4-year sandwich programs are becoming a
lot more popular.
Post-Graduate Degree
As a post-graduate student, the course length will generally be shorter, and
class sizes will be much smaller. For this reason, fees will be higher ranging
up to £10,000 for a course. If you are taking an MBA program, competition may
firstly be fierce, and the cost could be in the region of £10,000 to £16,000 or
more per year.

moving up to around £80/week for some larger universities. Some will have
catering facilities such as a canteen, but others will just have a kitchen so
you can cook your own food.
If you opt to not go the halls of residence option, you can always go and find

accommodation where the money can be spilt in to those numbers accordingly.

Study Visa:- Types, Process and Admission Procedure in UK
One of the most important issues you need to check is whether you need a visa to
enter the UK. This very much depends on your country of origin. Generally, there
is a distinction to be made between EEA/Swiss nationals and international
students.
EEA and Swiss Nationals
If you are an EEA/Swiss national you usually have the right to enter and stay in
the UK without a visa, no specific permission is needed to study here. You do
not have to register or apply for any particular documents either. If you’re an
EEA/Swiss national, you have the right to move freely and to take residence in
the UK for up to three months.
EEA countries include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Republic of Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, United Kingdom, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
Non-EEA-Students
If you’re a student whose country of origin does not belong to the EEA group,
you will have to apply for a visa. This mainly applies for students from Asia,
Africa, Australia, and the USA. If you’ve been accepted by the UK higher
education institution, you can choose between two different types of student
visa: Student visitor status and a Tier 4 visa.
For courses that do not exceed a total length of six months, you will be
eligible for student visitor status. If you should attend an English language
course, this period extends to a maximum of 11 months. However, the student
visitor status has certain restrictions. Most importantly, you won’t be allowed
to take up employment in any form; even if it is unpaid or part of your
programme. Moreover, you cannot apply for an extended stay after you’ve
completed your course, once you reach the end of your study you are expected to
leave the UK.
Most foreign students thus apply for a Tier-4 student visa. You want to do this
prior to your arrival at the UK. If you enter the UK with a Tier 4 visa, you
will have to prove that you have sufficient funds to cover both your course fees
and living costs (i.e. accommodation and food). You also need to make sure that
the institution of your choice has the permission to accept international
students with a Tier 4 visa. Depending on your degree and personal plans, you
can apply for an extended stay in the UK after completion of your course, in
order to gather some practical experience in the private sector or to open a
business.
Study Visa Process and Admission Procedure: -
Applications to all undergraduate courses are filled through Universities and
Colleges Admission System or UCAS - a central organization in the UK that is
responsible for receiving undergraduate applications and forwarding them to the
respective institutions.

fees for one course or £23 for multiple courses and applications. The services
offered by UCAS are designed for the admission to the September/October intake
in the UK and you normally apply directly to a university for courses starting
in January or February.
Note:- Students seeking admission to a postgraduate taught program will
have to apply to individual universities using the application form of that
particular university. Most universities offer the facility to apply online for
a nominal fee. Once the application form is filled appropriate supporting
documents would have to be sent to the university. Although universities do not
have a deadline it is recommended that you apply early to enhance your chances
of being made an offer.
