Entry dates

Colleges in the United Kingdom have two main entry dates:

Spring- January and February
Autumn- August and September

Students can apply for either of these, though the autumn entry date is more convenient for the undergraduate as it coincides with the board examination here in India.

Admission Requirements

The main entry requirement for undergraduate courses is completion of the +2 levels or the equivalent- India's Intermediate course in Commerce, Arts, Science or Humanities.
Other than this a strong score in the IELTS is also necessary. In order to be convinced that you can afford the costs a college can ask you to provide financial documentation that proves that you are in a position to pay the fees and the living expenses.

Budgets

English degrees can take only three years and postgraduate master's courses only one year ' compared with four years and two years in most other countries. This means you will save a great deal on both tuition fees and living costs ' and you will be able to start working and earning money sooner. English degree courses are shorter because they are more intensive, and therefore more efficient in terms of your time and money. Health care is often free for international students. You are likely to be able to take advantage of National Health Service (NHS) treatment, as well as reduced-cost medicines, dental treatment and eye tests.

Thousands of scholarships and bursaries are offered by English institutions just for international students, while more than 21, 000 international students receive scholarship funding from the UK Government every year. Under existing work regulations, international students in England and the rest of the UK can work up to 20 hours a week when studying and full time during vacations.

Colleges and Universities

The UK has two distinct education systems: one for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and one for Scotland. Each is compatible with the other. The Scottish Parliament has devolved responsibility for education in Scotland. Wherever you choose to study, you will be able to study relevant, world-class qualifications of exceptional quality.

Colleges and Universities in the UK are diverse in nature. There are universities like Oxford and Cambridge to which only the best of the best can aspire and there are also several colleges with BAC (British Accreditation Council) certification that provide excellent courses at economic fees.

Part Time Work

If you are admitted for a course lasting more than 6 months, you may, without a work permit or permission from the local Job Centre, take part-time or holiday-work, but you must not:

·- work for more than 20 hours per week during term time unless your placement is part of your studies, has the agreement of the education institution and leads to a degree or qualification awarded by a nationally recognised examining body
- do business, be self-employed or provide services as a professional sportsperson or entertainer
·- work full-time in a permanent job

If you are admitted for a course lasting 6 months or less, permission to work is granted at the entry clearance, or immigration officer's discretion.

Visa Procedure

A visa is an entry clearance certificate that is placed in your passport or travel document by an Entry Clearance Officer at a British mission overseas. The entry clearance certificate confers leave to enter the UK.

If you have a valid UK visa you will not normally be refused entry to the UK unless your circumstances have changed, or you gave false information or you failed to disclose important facts when you applied for your visa.

When you arrive in the UK, an Immigration Officer may question you, so take all relevant documents in your hand luggage.
