Studying in the UK

The UK is one of the world's most popular destination for students from overseas. In fact, more than 400,000 international students enrol each year.

International students considering the UK have a choice of over 140 universities and higher education institutions, each offering a great range of tertiary qualifications that will be recognised the world over. (More in our UK university ranking.)
The factors to take into account in reaching a decision go beyond a choice of university and degree course.
Tuition fees vary between institutions, and many international students will need to be aware of visa requirements, including English language qualifications, and work permit restrictions.
The application process – how and when to apply – is also important.
Then you will need to decide on your accommodation.

The Complete University Guide offers a wealth of information and advice on some of the key factors international students will need to consider. Want to know more? Send us a question.
