If the UK is on your radar for your higher education degree, now is the time to start applying. And if it is not, perhaps it should be!
In 2023, Indian students made up a quarter of the total student visas the UK Home Office issued. This tallies to over 130,000 student visas overall.
The UK historically sees large numbers of inbound Indian students. And the hype makes total sense – the UK consistently produces top-class graduates capable of competing in a global workforce.
Of over 160 higher education institutes, the UK lands 90 as world-ranking, according to the 2024 QS World University Rankings. These universities are also producing highly employable graduates. Plenty of UK universities report graduate employability rates between 90% to 95%. It is not a coincidence that the highest levels of employer activity and youth employment cluster around major student cities like London and Bristol, where many UK universities operate.
What elevates the UK further as a destination for studying abroad is these universities’ interest in internationalizing their campuses. To encourage global applications, universities allot hundreds of thousands of pounds every year in international scholarships. From full funding to partial awards, grants, and bursaries, exclusive international scholarships serve to reward and incentivize international student enrolment.
Meanwhile, the UK Graduate route is a great post-study option for international students to continue staying and working in the UK after graduation. The opportunity to develop professional work experience in a leading world economy has unquantifiable benefits for your career.
It’s unsurprising, given the huge returns on investment of a UK degree and the UK education system’s initiative in inviting and integrating a growing international student community into its campuses, cities, and workforces, that interest in studying in the UK will not abate any time soon.
And with 2024 around the corner, it is the ideal time to become part of the movement. The September 2024 session may seem far off, but the groundwork towards a successful application takes a fair bit of time.
