Frequently asked questions
What is the Graduate Route visa and who qualifies?+
The Graduate Route visa (formerly PSW — Post-Study Work visa) lets you stay in the UK for 2 years after graduation to work or look for work — no employer sponsorship needed. PhD graduates get 3 years. You must have completed your degree at a UK university and applied from inside the UK.
Why is a 1-year Master's in the UK such a big advantage?+
UK Master's programs are structured to be completed in 1 year (vs. 2 years in the USA or Canada). This saves significant tuition costs and lets you enter the job market faster. Combined with the 2-year Graduate Route visa, the total overseas commitment is just 3 years.
What IELTS score is required for UK universities?+
Most UK universities require IELTS Academic 6.0–7.0 (with no band below 5.5 or 6.0 depending on the program). Top programs at Oxford and Cambridge may require 7.0–7.5. Some universities also accept TOEFL iBT or PTE Academic.
How much does it cost to live in the UK as a student?+
Living costs vary significantly by city. London is the most expensive (£1,200–£1,800/month for rent, food, transport, and essentials). Other cities like Manchester, Edinburgh, Leeds, or Nottingham are significantly cheaper (£700–£1,100/month).
Can I work while studying in the UK?+
Yes. International students on a Student Visa can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during holidays. Work is permitted in most roles, but there are restrictions on self-employment and certain regulated professions.
What are the top universities in the UK for Indian students?+
University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, University College London (UCL), London School of Economics (LSE), University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester, and King's College London are among the most popular for Indian students.
Is there a Tier 2 / Skilled Worker visa path after the Graduate Route?+
Yes. Once you find a job with a licensed UK sponsor during your Graduate Route visa period, you can switch to a Skilled Worker visa (formerly Tier 2). This can eventually lead to Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 5 years of continuous lawful stay.
What scholarships are available for Indian students in the UK?+
The Chevening Scholarship (fully funded) is the most prestigious. GREAT Scholarships offer partial funding at multiple universities. Many UK universities also offer Vice-Chancellor's scholarships, departmental bursaries, and Commonwealth Scholarships for eligible students.
