Once your visa application is accepted, before you leave to study abroad we have a pre departure workshop where we talk to you about insurance, loans, ticketing, medical requirements and other issues.

Tuition Fees


The average tuition fees for overseas students are about GBP £22,000 per year, and the average living expenses are about GBP £8,000 per year. Fees do vary widely between institutions, and those looking to study for a prestigious MBA can expect to pay much more. When planning your finances you must remember to include all the costs that will be associated with traveling and living abroad and be conscious of the impact of currency exchange rates. If you have any concerns, seek professional advice.

Scholarships, grants, and bursaries are available for international students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level but they are not easy to get and competition is fierce. You may benefit from some specific advice and coaching to maximise your chances of qualifying. When deciding on the awarding of funding or financial support they will weigh up many factors, and students who can present a really strong and well-rounded picture of themselves are at an advantage.

Indian students can apply for overseas education loans from state banks of up to Rs.2.5 Million. You should be aware that security of up to 100% of the loan amount may be required and the repayment periods can vary from 5-7 years. Make sure you have taken appropriate financial and educational advice before entering into any long-term financial commitment.

Student  Visa

The UK student visa process is largely document-based and if you carefully follow the guidance issued by the British High Commission you should find the process relatively straightforward. Most students who choose to study in the UK apply for a Tier 4 (General) visa which is a points-based scheme. You need a total of 40 points to get a student visa of which 30 points are earned by submitting a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) certificate issued by your UK University, and the remaining 10 points are for your financial capability. International students can obtain a short term study visa for the United Kingdom, no matter how many months long, by following the guidelines issued by the UK Government. The accredited university where you have admission from, will serve as your Tier 4 sponsor and this is mandatory for obtaining entry clearance.

Work Permit

For the work permit in the UK, you will have to apply for the Tier 2 visa which is for skilled workers. There are certain occupations that come under this category like IT, healthcare, teaching, etc.  In order to apply for the Tier 2 visa, you need a job offer from your sponsor and a certificate of sponsorship. You are allowed to stay in the UK for 2 years after you finish your course to find any job opportunities that may be suitable for you.

FAQs

The Oxford and Cambridge universities together are commonly referred to as Oxbridge.

Indian and international students prefer to go for well ranked universities UCL, University of Manchester, Oxbridge Universities, etc. but do not limit your options by only going for the popular choices. Consider which university suits you and offers you the best course.

You will have to give the IELTS as a language requirement and you may have to give the GMAT for MBA courses. There may be some exceptions to this rule so check the requirements of your course carefully before applying.

The CAS stands for Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies and is required to process your student visa. Before you apply for the Tier 4 student visa, you need a CAS number that can be added to your visa application. The process for CAS application is simple and may take a few weeks so apply for CAS as soon as you decide the university and pay the deposit.

The UK Tier 4 student visa process does not generally involve an interview and is a documents based process. However if the Consulate feels like they need more information about your application, they will invite you for an interview. This is a rare occurrence.
