Why Study in the UK?
The UK is home to some of the world’s top-ranked universities, offering diverse courses and a multicultural environment. With a UK degree, you can enhance your global career prospects and gain access to advanced research and innovation opportunities. Moreover, the UK government offers attractive post-study work options, allowing you to stay and work after graduation.
Understanding Living Costs in the UK:-
Living expenses are a crucial factor to consider when planning your education in the UK. On average, students spend between £800 to £1,500 per month, depending on the city they reside in. London is the most expensive city, with higher living costs, while other cities such as Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow offer more affordable living options without compromising the quality of life.
Breakdown of Average Monthly Expenses:
Accommodation: £400 - £800 (depending on location)
Food & Groceries: £200 - £300
Transportation: £50 - £100
Utilities (Electricity, Gas, Internet): £50 - £100
Entertainment & Personal Expenses: £50 - £200
By budgeting wisely and exploring cost-effective options, you can manage your expenses and enjoy a comfortable student life.
Choosing the Right Accommodation
Accommodation plays a significant role in your overall experience as an international student. UK universities typically offer two main types of accommodation:
On-Campus Accommodation:
Convenient and provides easy access to university facilities.
Offers a sense of community and opportunities to meet fellow students.
Generally includes utilities and other amenities.
However, on-campus housing can be more expensive compared to off-campus options.
Off-Campus Accommodation:
Includes shared apartments, private rentals, or purpose-built student housing.
Often more affordable and provides greater independence.
Ideal for students who prefer flexibility in their living arrangements.
We can help you explore both options and find the best accommodation that suits your budget and lifestyle.
Earning While Studying: Part-Time Job Opportunities
One of the best ways to support yourself while studying in the UK is by taking up part-time work. As an international student on a Student Visa, you can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during holidays. Popular part-time job options include:
Retail and Hospitality
Tutoring and Teaching Assistance
Administrative Work
Customer Service
Our team will assist you in finding suitable part-time roles to help you manage your expenses while gaining valuable work experience.
Post-Study Work (PSW) Visa: What You Need to Know?
The UK’s Graduate Route, commonly known as the Post-Study Work (PSW) Visa, allows international students to stay and work in the UK for up to two years after completing their degree. This is an excellent opportunity to gain professional experience, explore career options, and potentially transition to a long-term work visa.
Key Features of the PSW Visa:
Available to international students who successfully complete a degree from a recognized UK university.
Valid for two years (or three years for PhD graduates).
No job sponsorship required to apply.
Allows you to work in any sector or role.
We provide comprehensive support to help you navigate the PSW Visa application process and maximize your career opportunities.
Pathways to Long-Term Residency: Skilled Worker Visa & Other Options
