Study Abroad

Hundreds of thousands of students apply to study in Great Britain, or the United Kingdom, every year. With one of the oldest and most hallowed education systems in the world, UK has, for long, been a choice education destination for students across the world. The country is officially known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It has, over the years, become a melting pot of cultures from around the world.

International students working in the UK get work rights for about 20 hours a week when their course is going on and can work full time during vacations. Students stand to earn 5 to 7 pounds per hour when working 20 hours a week, which comes to 400-560 pounds. Part time jobs are widely advertised in newspapers and other online sources. One can also look for jobs on campus as they are the most easily available. Career cells at your college or university can also be a great help in landing you a job. If you are going to study in the UK for six months you need to get permission from the Entry Clearance Officer before you work.

For those looking to work full time in the UK there is a point based system that they need to clear. Students that are graduating from a UK university can get a job with a registered company. Students are allowed to stay back for four months after their course is over to secure graduate employment. The companies are mandated to pay a minimum of 20,000 pounds a year and the work visa lasts for 3 years. There is a possibility of extending that visa for another 3 years or more.
