United Kingdom

United Kingdom: The mighty Lion

Made up of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales, the United Kingdom was once considered to be the center of the world, an Empire where the sun never set. Students from all over the world flocked to Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and the Royal College of Surgeons and degrees from these institutions including the Fellowship of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons is still considered to be a global benchmark.

The popularity of UK as a study destination diminished substantially after the extension of visa and granting of a 2 year work permit after studies was discontinued in 2012. The following graph shows a flat trend of non-EU students studying in UK:

Currently, the United Kingdom attracts over 500,000 students each year…. a number which is slated to increase multifold, thanks to the re-introduction of the Work Permit System at the completion of of your graduation. The UK has over 400 colleges who offer the entire range of courses available globally.
