Study & Work in UK

UK qualifications are recognized and valued all over the world - in academic institutions, in commerce, industry and government. This is a direct result of the UK's lengthy tradition of high-quality education, its continuing commitment to innovation and modernity, and the value it places upon the individual. For all of these reasons a UK education represents a great investment in the future - an investment in opportunity, earning power, advancement, career and personal fulfillment.

But you can now make your UK experience work even harder for your future by getting some valuable work experience, improving your language skills and enhancing your CV. Your future employer will be looking for smart, creative, team-orientated people who can contribute experience and skills to the success of their business.

Study in London

London is home to more than 90,000 international students from over 200 different nations, more than any other city in the world. You can choose from over 30,000 accredited courses at top universities and access unrivalled resources to support your studies. Your experience at a London university will be unequalled in opportunity, study and life.

Cost of Living

An average student spends £350 to 500 per month on his/her living expenses including off campus accommodation, travel etc. The estimation is based on shared accommodation off campus.

We have a selection of quality institutions from London. These selected institutions are all accredited by various UK agencies and their degrees/diplomas are recognized by the UK Immigration authorities.

Part Time Work

If your application for leave to stay in the UK as a student has been successful, you should be given a passport sticker that allows you to:

  • work part-time up to 20 hours a week during term time and work full-time during your holidays
  • work full-time at the end of your studies, during the period when your course has finished but your immigration permission to be in the UK has not yet expired (normally for a maximum period of four months)
  • work full-time when your studies have finished, while you wait to hear whether an International Graduates Scheme application is successful (provided you make your application for the International Graduates Scheme before your student immigration permission expires); you can carry on working full-time even after your student immigration permission expires if you are still waiting for a decision on your International Graduates Scheme application at that stage (until a decision is made)
  • take a work placement with an employer (sandwich students), and
  • take an internship placement with an employer.

Post-Study Work Experience

International Graduates Scheme for all those who have obtained a UK degree or postgraduate certificate or diploma on or after 1 May 2007, or a degree completed before this date from a list of qualifying courses. This scheme allows many students to apply to stay in the UK for up to a year in any kind of job without needing a work permit, or to be self-employed or to set up a business. You can apply for a maximum of 12 months under the scheme but will not be able to apply again even if you later complete another qualification. However, you may qualify to move from the scheme to work permit employment or into the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme or Innovators scheme.

Work Permit

A successful work permit applicant is given up to 3 years to live and work in the UK for that employer. This period can be extended later. After being in the UK for that period, it is possible to apply for permanent residency. Work permits are specific to the employers who obtained them, meaning that they are not transferable.

Permanent Residency

Permanent Residence in the UK is called Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). Indefinite Leave to Remain is granted to people who have already shown a commitment to the UK on a temporary visa. After a UK visa holder has lived in the UK for a specific period of time, they can apply for ILR which entitles them to live in the UK for as long as they wish, and even apply for naturalisation.
