FAQs for international students

Thinking about studying in the UK can give international students a lot to consider. Here are answers to the most common questions.

Filling in your UCAS application

Don’t leave applying until the last minute as there’s quite a bit to do – but you don’t need to complete the application all at once. Read our advice below to help you through the application process, step by step.

Finding university accommodation

If your child has their heart set on university halls, they’ll need to do their research and apply early. Places aren’t always guaranteed, so it’s important to encourage them to think about alternative accommodation, which can be equally fun and provide a safe living environment.

Finding work after you graduate

As an international student, the process of getting work might be different to what you’re used to at home. There are additional rules and limitations that overseas students need to bear in mind to comply with the conditions of your visa while working.

First-generation students

Students who do not have parents or carers who have attended university themselves sometimes find it useful to have additional information and help when making their decisions and applying to higher education.
