UK is one of the most sought-after destinations for higher education overseas. But it seems to lose its shine among Indian students. So what is happening in UK? Why is it losing the popularity ? The main reason behind this is strict VISA rules.
The change in Visa rules for non-European students actually restricts international students from staying in UK after their studies. Most of the international students usually take huge amount of loan to fund their studies in UK.
So it is the responsibility of Government to reassure these students and give them some reasonable window. The change in Visa rules will allow students to seek work and it would be a great boost for them.
According to the data from the Higher Education Statistics Agency, UK in 2004-05 there were about 10,000 first year students in the UK which grew to cross 20,000 students between 2008 and 2011.
The next one is scholarships provided inside the University. Universities doesn't offer more scholarships for students outside Europe. UK policy is just getting stricter in terms of study and work and Indian students are looking for alternate destinations.
