Going to UK ? Why and for what ?

Door opens for higher studies after plus two. On the top of that it’s unquestionable to go abroad for them with good merits and financial well conditions. Nepal lacks the environment to study preferred subject with ease and this is the reason for thousands of Nepali students flying abroad. I find this quite obvious because no one wants to compromise with their future. 

Historically speaking, UK is the mother of democracy and education.  UK is one among the default destinations for Nepali students. It’s not wrong to dream being graduated from internationally acclaimed institutes. Even mighty moon can be touched if we follow our dreams.

Nepal and UK shares a 203 years long formal relation which commenced in 1816 AD during the Nepali Prime Minister Junga Bahadur Rana’s UK visit. Junga bahadur spent his 2 years of time at UK from 1903 to 1906 AD. He opened the door to Nepali students for studying at UK as a souvenir of his visit. Sooner he returned he opened Durbar high school for his children. It’s now almost 2 centuries Junga Bahadur established the thread of formal education in Nepal. Now after all these years, Nepal and UK are entering into the new dimension of their friendship making easier for Nepali students to pursue their further studies at UK. 

It’s been a decade of increasing number of Nepali students applying for UK. Before a decade UK used to be a sophisticated dream for Nepali students but now UK has started welcoming Nepali students with open arms. This coordination between UK and Nepal has now introduced UK as one of the easy educational destination even for Nepali students from lower middle economic class. 

Why UK? 

For the recent plus two pass outs, it’s very important to know and be clear on why they are aspiring for UK. Beyond friendship influence or parents pressure just close your eyes and make a self-realization on why are you going to UK? 

If a self-motivated and independent answer is responded by your heart then trust me going UK for study is the right decision. UK is the excellent destination for you. 

What type of universities to aspire? 

Students with good financial being and well merits can aspire for Cambridge, Oxford, Saint Andrew or even Imperial University. But for them with relatively less merits and middle income families, UK offers several middle level institutions also. These institutes are also equally good, acclaimed and ensures a high level of quality education. UK today beholds over 130 world class universities and colleges. These universities offers several scholarships to Nepali students. 

 Visa process 

Visa processing for UK is much easier compared to other European nations and Australia. UK won’t require any property valuation or income sources. It’s just a certain bank balance for 28 days in your account. UK issues visa very fast. UK has a strategy of welcoming talented students into its land. And to be honest it’s not just limited to academia but also about student’s economic and psychological abilities. Why is he/she aspiring for UK? How will they study? What is the status of preferred college? Only after analyzing above questions UK proceeds Visa. 

Academic qualifications 

Plus two passed out, Bachelors and masters passed are eligible for UK. Besides this IELTS marking of overall 6 and not less than 5.5 in each band is required. If IELTS below 5.5 than also student can pursue with foundation course. For the course such students must appear UKVI IELTS and this sort of IELTS can also accommodate students with 4.5 marking. Some university offers a free Password exam for those students who have secured 70 or above percentage in English subject. 

Subjects to choose?  

UK provides the biggest portfolio of courses worldwide. Students can pick any from their choices. UK degrees are valid in any corner of this planet, student must consider following points before choosing a course. 

 Individual preference. 

 A management aspiring student if chooses science under the pressure of parents or counsellor, he/she finds hard to complete the course. This will shatter the dreams of parents and ruin the future of student too. So I strongly recommend not to for courses beyond your interest. 

Finally its mandatory to struggle today for a brighter tomorrow. UK indeed can’t offer a golden egg without hard work. Dear students don’t mistaken of going UK and having a chill and well off life, everything requires hard work and a significant self-confidence. 

Visa policy changes  

Recent years are getting easier for UK visa. After the Brexit the visa turned more accessible and opened several employment opportunities too. Northern Ireland provides a two years post study work provision which facilitates students to transform their tire 4 visa into tire 2.
