Work After Study

From September 2008, International students can stay back and work for TWO YEARS, after completion of UK’s recognized bachelor or postgraduate degree, Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) or a Higher National Diploma (HND) from a Scottish institution under Post Study Work Scheme.

The scheme is meant to retain the brightest foreign students who have studied in the UK under current rules or the Tier 4 system. It is part of Tier 1 because successful applicants will be able to find work after graduation without having a sponsor.

PSW program is only designed to be a bridge to highly skilled or skilled work, much like the previous International Graduates Scheme or Fresh Talent Scheme in Scotland. Those with student visas in the UK under Post-Study Work are expected to switch into another part of the points system such as Tier 1 (General) or Tier 2 (Skilled Workers with an offer of Employment ) as soon as they are able to do so.

To encourage individuals to switch over, leave will only be granted under Post-Study Work for a maximum of 2 years and is non-renewable. However time spent in the UK under Post-Study Work will not count towards permanent residence.

It is good for a non-renewable two-year period after which you are expected to transfer to another immigration category. The English language requirement is waived for Post-Study Work applicants because it is assumed English language proficiency was required to obtain the eligible qualification but funds Maintenance criteria is required to be fulfilled as in Tier 1 General.

Education System

The UK is made up of 4 different countries - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The education system in Scotland differs at school and undergraduate level to the other countries who follow a similar system.

Education in the UK is compulsory for everyone between the ages of five and sixteen, and is provided by two kinds of schools: independent (fee-charging) schools and state-funded schools.

Education System in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Primary School

Children normally start school at the age of 5 and move to secondary school at the age of 11. Pre-school programs are also available to students at the age of 3 or 4.

Secondary School and Post-Sixteen Education
All UK universities teach students to at least the age of 16 to prepare them for GSCEs or equivalent qualifications. Following this, students can stay on to study for AS levels (one additional year), A levels (2 additional years) or equivalent vocational qualifications. These qualifications can be done in a school, sixth-form college or college of further education.

Post Eighteen Education
Students normally commence higher education at the age of 18 and study at university or colleges of further and higher education. A Bachelor degree program normally lasts for 3-4 years, a Masters degree program for 1 year and a Doctoral degree program for 3-4 years. The UK government is currently aiming for 50% of students to continue in education after the age of 18.

Education System in Scotland
The education system in Scotland is slightly different that the rest of the UK and the main differences are as follows:
Students can enter university at the age of 17 rather than 18 as university courses in Scotland are normally one year longer than in England. Students sit Standard Grades rather than GCSEs. Students sit Higher and Advanced Higher rather than AS levels and A levels. Between the ages of 16-18 years students in Scotland often study a broader curriculum than in other parts of the UK and often do not specialize in the sciences, arts, humanities until they enter university.

• Living costs (up from 63 per cent to 66 per cent satisfaction);
• Students' Union (up from 89 per cent to 91 per cent);
• Worship facilities (up from 83 per cent to 86 per cent).

UK postgraduate study


A student at work. Copyright John Cooper/Ikon Partnership for Education UK  
Most master's degrees and MBAs at UK universities last one year compared to two in other countries, including the USA and Australia. Choosing the UK means you only have to pay tuition fees for one year and you'll be back in the workplace before you know it.

While you're here, you'll be immersed in English, the world's most important business language. At the same time, you'll be part of a truly international community - you may find as many as 50 different nationalities on a single campus.

A master's degree, PhD or MBA from a UK university will prove to employers that you're capable of independent thought and self-discipline. They’ll know you can conduct and analyse your own research and make a real contribution to their company or organisation.

UK postgraduate study that suits your needs

The wide range of UK postgraduate courses on offer gives you great flexibility. You can start by enrolling on a postgraduate diploma course (PG Dip), then transfer to a master's degree, or begin by taking an MRes (master of research), which could lead on to a PhD. It's up to you.

How long is a UK postgraduate course?

Full-time postgraduate courses in the UK vary from one year to four years, depending on the type of course you choose:
  • One-year courses: Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma, Master's degrees, MBAs
  • Two-year courses: Some master's degrees
  • Three to four-year courses: PhDs, New Route PhDs
What UK undergraduate courses are available?
  • Pre-master's courses
Pre-master's courses can last from one term to a complete academic year and cover academic study, cultural instruction and language training. You may need to take a pre-master's course if your qualifications or English language skills don't quite match the standard required for a UK master's degree. Many courses will guarantee progression on to a master's course at a particular university.

  • Postgraduate certificate or diploma (PG Cert/Dip)
Postgraduate certificates and diplomas are one-year taught postgraduate courses that don't usually involve research. They're often accepted as professional qualifications, giving you a fantastic head start in your chosen career.

  • Taught master's (MA, MSc, LLM, Med, etc.)
Taught master's courses generally last for one year and consist of two elements. You'll complete a number of modules (attending lectures and seminars, writing essays and taking examinations) and produce a dissertation from original research.
  • Research master's (MRes, MPhil)
On a master's degree by research in the UK, you won't typically attend lectures; instead you'll devote the entire year to research. Your final mark will be determined by the quality of your dissertation.

  • Master of Business Administration (MBA)
 An MBA is a specialist business taught master's course that will give you a real step up the managerial ladder. It's the best-known and most popular postgraduate qualification.
  • Doctorate (PhD)
A PhD, also know as a doctorate, takes three to four years to complete, during which time you'll be working on a single research project. In your final year, you'll be asked to present a dissertation of approximately 100,000 words.

New Route PhDs include taught elements as well as a research project and give you the opportunity to undertake interdisciplinary study.

Look for all types of UK postgraduate study in the course finder.

Tourism Rudd, take a holiday: Australian tourism industry seeks PM's help Prime Minister Kevin Rudd should do more to help Australia's struggling tourism industry through the international financial crisis and he should start by taking a holiday, tourism officials say. Operators have been hit this year by a strong Australian dollar, spiralling fuel prices, bad weather and fierce competition from cheaper and closer overseas destinations, which has limited growth from overseas markets.

Australian Migrant Stories Multiculturalism is an integral part of the nations fabric, with 23% of the population born overseas. The migrants made Australia their home for a variety of reasons. But as they age, they sometimes face a unique set of problems not encountered by the Australia born, including isolation, language difficulties and an inability to access essential health, transport and social services.

Australia 2009 Economic Outlook No end in sight to the world economic maelstrom. China, the world's factory, is now in trouble and the news out of the US gets gloomier by the day. At home, we haven't seen it in the figures yet, but industrial production has slowed sharply in recent months and businesses have swtiched to cost-cutting mode. The new year will herald job losses and a further test for consumer confidence. If consumers can hold their nerve, the economy should have suffiicent momentum to avoid a recession - just! But if consumers panic there is a real chance of a more protracted downturn in activity and employment.

Boom states now face the toughest problems AUSTRALIA may continue to run a two-speed economy, but it will be the resource states that run slow as Queensland and Western Australia supplant NSW as the Rudd Government's biggest economic headache.

UK Education System

British Education has long attracted and welcomed high caliber students of different nationalities and backgrounds, and today builds on hundreds of years of experience in providing quality education to international students. To ensure that the quality is maintained, Britain has implemented unrivalled quality assurance and academic audit systems. The university departments are obliged to meet stringent standards by professional bodies. Standards are high not just in teaching but in other facilities as well : Libraries, computers, research equipment and living accommodation.
British higher and further education provides value for money by offering shorter, more intensive courses than are available in many other countries, thereby reducing living expenses and time spent away from home. Closely supervised study in an intellectually and culturally stimulating environment, together with an emphasis on student welfare and close contact between staff and students also ensures that individual students get maximum support and, as a result, pass rates are high and the drop-out rate for international students is very low.
Britain has long been a popular destination for Indian students. With more than 150 institutes of higher education to choose from, all equipped with extensive facilities, Britain is able to offer a broad spectrum of subjects from the highly academic to the purely practical in anything from architecture to zoology.

Details about various Qualifications offered by UK Colleges and Universities:
  1. First Degree Courses in Arts and Sciences (Bachelor's degree) are normally of three or four years' duration and are largely taught courses, sometimes including the preparation of a short written thesis.
  2. Sandwich Courses are where the coursework is accompanied by practical work. A student could either complete 2 years of college, then a year of commercial training before returning for a final year in college. Or, he/she could do a 4-year course with 3-6 months’ training interspersed each year. The main advantage is that the student gets real experience while in the learning mode. Most universities offer this type of education.
  3. Higher National Diploma (HND) is awarded by Vocational and Technical Educational Councils. They offer a 2-year course in a vocational subject like scientific and technical business subjects. Great emphasis is placed on work experience. It is often seen as the first step towards a degree course as the credits can be transferred.
  4. Vocational Courses offer an opportunity to enter the university system slowly. Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC), General Vocational Qualifications (GNVQ), General Scottish Vocational Qualifications (GSVQ) offer recognized courses in a range of disciplines. Most students opt to take 1-2 years of, for example, BTEC courses before being transferred to a degree programme. BTEC national certificates/diplomas are usually accepted as an alternative to A-Levels.
  5. Postgraduate study may take the form of an independent piece of research under supervision or a taught course, and leads to a variety of degrees and awards. The taught courses normally last for one or sometimes two years. Completion of a doctorate normally takes a minimum of three years. Many post-experience courses are also available, either leading to a qualification or providing a refresher course for graduates wishing to update or extend their knowledge. Occasional students are admitted by some institutions in limited numbers. They attend courses or undertake research, possibly for a period of one or two years. These courses do not lead to any formal qualification or 'credit' although certificate of satisfactory attendance may be given.
