The United Kingdom has always been a huge attraction for Indian Students to study and flourish there. But what makes the UK the most popular choice among students for studying abroad? Every student has different goals and reasons for choosing a study abroad location, and the UK is no exception. There are a few very common yet impressive reasons that are sure to impress you as well. The UK is very prominent for Postgraduate Degrees. We are listing the top 10 reasons to study in the UK.
1. One-Year Master’s Program in the UK
All Master’s in whichever course you wish to do is taught in one year. Even the MBA in the UK is for one year. This suits a lot of students who have a time crunch in their careers. This one-year master’s is acceptable worldwide, so you don’t need to worry about this.
2. Is the UK affordable for Indian students?
One year’s course in the UK, as mentioned earlier, makes it very economical for students who have a limited budget. Compared to the USA, where the master’s degree is for two years, this saves a huge amount of money for you and still provides you with the best education experience.
The cost of studying Education in the UK varies from University to University. Tuition Cost and Living Cost are two components of expenses for which you need to be ready.
- Tuition fees range from 10,000 Pounds to 25,000 Pounds
- Living costs range from 10,000 Pounds to 15,000 Pounds
The cost of study varies depending on your course and the city in the UK you choose to go to. Depending on your budget, we can pull out the best University. So in total, you are looking to spend around 24,000 Pounds to 26,000 Pounds.
3. English Taught courses and country
The UK is a true and original English Country, and hence, as a student, you have huge comfort, as communication is not restricted.
4. Is IELTS required for study in the UK?
Most master’s programs require only IELTS for admission. Right from Top-notch schools like Cambridge, Oxford, and Imperial, etc. For master’s education, we require IELTS only. An MBA would require a GMAT from an AMBA-accredited University along with IELTS. So IELTS is compulsory.
It is also possible to study in the UK without IELTS. For this, you should fulfill English requirements such as having proof of over 70% in English in High School, or taking an online interview conducted by the university, or proof of English as your medium of instruction in your school.
5. Stay back and Work Permit after studying in the UK
The beauty of UK education lies in its double stay-back option. One year of the course provides two years of stay-back options for students. So this makes it a very lucrative time for students to network and find a good job suiting their profile.
6. High Return Investments in the UK
As you have two years to work there after completing every master’s in the UK, it is a good enough time for you to recover your expenses of education. Every master’s leads to different salaries, but typically your salary ranges from 45000 pounds to 55000 pounds a year. This way, with the student visa granted to you, you could get your money back. So it’s a perfect opportunity to take.
7. Part-time jobs in the UK for students
Every student is allowed to work 20 hours per week. You get paid around 8 pounds to 10 pounds per hour. This way, part-time jobs can provide support to reduce your living expenses to quite an extent. However, let us tell you one thing here, as the degree duration is one year, you may compromise on your studies and assignments if you invest more time in part-time jobs. So do balance it well with studies.
8. The UK is a leading global destination for headquarters
The UK is a super economy and has always been a big marketplace. Several companies from various industries have their headquarters in the UK. This makes it a very good place for you to establish your career. They surely require skilled people in their countries and hence have started this 2-year stay-back option for students, which was restricted and not given for the last 8 years.
9. Post-Brexit, the Job Market is growing stronger in the UK
We all know BREXIT has been hard pressing on the UK job market as a lot of Europeans have returned. The loss of one is the gain of others. This is proven very true for Indian students, as you are the gainers here. The UK has opened its stay-back option for two years only due to BREXIT and citing a huge shortage of skilled laborers. So here is your chance to shine and grab the roles.
10. Permanent Residence available in the UK
Yes, you heard me right. From January 2021, the UK has opened up its doors to people who wish to apply for their citizenship. The new process is a Point-based system. As you have done your masters in the UK, there are high chances you would get the points as you are an under-skilled labor and RQF3 Level job. You may check for more information on www.gov.uk
