United Kingdom — Common Questions
Do I need IELTS for every UK university? +
Not always — some universities accept PTE, TOEFL, or offer alternative pathways like pre-sessional English courses. We’ll confirm what your chosen university and course require.
Can I work while studying in the UK? +
Yes, generally up to a set number of hours per week during term, with no cap during scheduled breaks — current limits should be confirmed at the time you apply.
What happens after I graduate? +
Eligible graduates can typically apply for the Graduate Route visa, allowing time to work or look for work in the UK before transitioning to a longer-term visa if suitable.
How much money do I need to show for my visa? +
UKVI sets an official minimum living-cost figure that’s updated periodically, plus your tuition. We’ll confirm the current requirement with you directly.
Can my family come with me? +
Dependant visa eligibility depends heavily on your course level and current policy, which has changed recently for some student visa holders. We’ll assess your specific situation during your consultation.
