Overview

Why study in UK?

UK universities offer some of the shortest routes to an internationally recognised degree — most taught master's programmes take just one year, which keeps tuition and living costs down. Many programmes also offer an optional professional placement year.

The Graduate Route lets eligible graduates stay and work after their degree. As Mika Overseas has highlighted on its Instagram, the UK has announced that the Graduate Visa will be 2 years for applications made until 31 December 2026 and 18 months from 1 January 2027 — so the timing of your application matters.
