- Each appointment is 15 minutes long and can only be joined via a unique link that you will receive after you’ve booked an appointment slot. So, it’s personal, between you and the university of your choice.
All British universities and colleges accept IELTS academic results. Students will not need to take an IELTS for UKVI (Academic).
The UK government has announced a new two-year post-study work visa. The visa will be open to all international students who have valid UK immigration status as a student and have successfully completed a course of study in any subject at undergraduate level or above at an approved UK Higher Education Provider. The visa will allow eligible students to work or look for work in any career or position of their choice for two years after completing their studies.
The number of Indian students being granted visas for higher studies in the UK increased by a staggering 93 per cent post the visa rule changes, a report released by the UK immigration department in 2020 revealed.
