Frequently Asked Questions

Expert insights into British higher education.

How does the UK Post-Study Work Visa (Graduate Route) work?
For eligible non-doctoral graduates, the Graduate visa lasts two years for applications by 31 December 2026 and 18 months for applications from 1 January 2027. Eligible doctoral graduates receive three years. Check the current conditions before planning your post-study stay.
What is a CAS letter and why do I need it?
A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is an electronic document issued by your UK university after you accept their unconditional offer and pay the required deposit. You cannot apply for a UK Student Visa without a valid CAS number.
Can I study in the UK without IELTS?
Yes, many UK universities waive the IELTS requirement for Indian students if you scored over 70-80% in English in your Class 12 exams (CBSE or ICSE boards), or if you provide a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter proving your previous degree was taught in English. However, requirements vary by university.
Can my earnings cover my entire living cost?
International students can legally work up to 20 hours a week during term, and full-time during holidays. While this income is excellent for covering day-to-day groceries, travel, and social activities, you should not rely on it to pay your primary university tuition fees.
What is the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS)?
The IHS is a mandatory fee paid during your visa application that grants you full access to the UK's National Health Service (NHS). This means you receive the same free medical care at the point of use as a UK citizen, without needing to buy expensive private health insurance.
Are pre-sessional English courses worth taking?
If you narrowly miss your university's IELTS requirement, they may offer you a pre-sessional English course. Completing this 6-to-12 week program on campus allows you to seamlessly transition into your main degree without needing to retake the IELTS exam.
