The United Kingdom is globally renowned for academic excellence, attracting hundreds of thousands of international students every year. With world-leading universities, diverse programmes and strong employer connections, making the UK your study destination opens doors to global opportunities.
Bachelor’s Degrees: Typically 3 years in England, Wales or Northern Ireland; 4 years in Scotland or where a “sandwich” work-year applies.
Master’s Degrees: Usually completed in 1 year.
Doctorates: Typically 3-5 years.
Some programmes (Integrated Master’s) combine undergraduate and postgraduate studies into 4-year courses.
Universities and recognised bodies deliver degrees; many further education colleges offer foundation or pathway programmes.
If your course is longer than 6 months, you must apply under the UK’s Student Route (formerly Tier 4). Key eligibility requirements (as of late 2025) include:
Unconditional offer from a UK university licensed by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) with a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
English language competence (level depends on your course and country).
Proof of maintenance funds: From 11 Nov 2025, you must show:
£1,529 per month (up to 9 months) if studying in London.
£1,171 per month (up to 9 months) for study outside London.
Funds must have been held for at least 28 consecutive days prior to application.
Other conditions: valid passport, biometric information, and compliance with immigration rules such as the “genuine student” test.
After successfully completing your eligible programme, you may apply under the Graduate Route, to stay and work. Note: from 1 January 2027, the Graduate Route for bachelor’s & master’s graduates will be reduced from 24 to 18 months.
