Benefits from Studying in UK



Studying in the UK offers you valuable benefits – the chance to experience a new culture, immerse yourself in the English language and discover the UK’s countryside and cities.


The first step in planning your UK education is to figure out what stage you are at, and what you want to achieve from your course – to gain skills and qualifications for a particular career? To improve your English? To build your knowledge of a subject you’re interested in?


With more than 40,000 Indian students studying in UK universities and UK colleges it clearly emerges as a popular choice among students aspiring to study abroad. UK is traditionally recognized for its high class studies and research excellence. It has been the top choice of quality focused students and continues to be at the forefront of knowledge and innovation delivered through an array of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.


When choosing a course to study in UK, check that the course provider is a reputable UK school, college or university that is recognized by the UK government and education bodies. 


The quality and standard of a university's teaching and its general facilities are evaluated by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA).


The cost of education for an international student in the UK can be lower as compared to other countries especially in case of postgraduate studies as the duration of most programs is one year against other places where the tenure of study tends to be more than a year.


Rakesh Gopal, a student pursuing his masters in finance from Exeter University says “my decision to come to university in UK was vindicated the moment I reached the university. It’s a wonderful transition to student life here with all kinds of facilities and support available along with meeting people all over the world. Settling into my academic schedule made me value the quality of education I was receiving”


The UK Visa is quite easy to obtain and the process is pretty streamlined for genuine applicants who have received an offer/CAS and are able to show the required funding available. The new student visa process under the Tier 4 of the Points Based System is simpler, more transparent and user-friendly for international students.
