Why study abroad in the UK?

The UK is one of the most popular overseas study destinations for international students. 

A long tradition of academic excellence means your child will get a high-quality education and gain a globally recognised qualification. With strong industry links, excellent graduate job prospects and the chance to stay and work in the UK after graduation, they’ll be on their way to a bright future. 

But there’s more… 

Their degree will be cost-effective – most UK undergraduate programmes take just three years to complete, making them a sound investment in your child’s future. 

They’ll develop their language skills – boosting their employability in sectors such as business, commerce, aviation, science, technology and medicine where English is a global language. 

Their student budget will go further with a competitive cost of living – Newcastle is ranked in the top 10 most affordable cities in the UK (QS Best Student Cities 2025).  

They’ll meet people from all over the world, make new friends and explore new places in a country that’s steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty.
