May 20,2022
The dilemma of selecting a University can be solved by doing some analysis and by taking an overview of past students but a selection of courses is like a rough ride. One of the basic reasons for the confusion is the dependence on own intellectuals. Here students need to judge whether they can fit with the course curriculum or not. Secondly, whether the selection of courses may support them for the further settlement. However, multiple choices are used to confuse students to select the most suitable one for them. As a result, we have done some analysis of most in-demand courses that not only add value to students’ careers but also help them to find out their future settlement options. As per the UK Shortage Occupation List and high employability ratio, there is a range of course options available for international students who are Looking to Study in UK.
From the 1st July, 2021 UK government has allowed international students to study and apply for the post-study work visa for two years. As a result, international students can stay in the UK for a longer duration and can gain international work experience. On the other end, the UK government has also targeted to retain the global talent in the country to boost the economy. Along with the route, Post-study visa holders can also apply for the Skilled Worker, Global Talent and Innovator routes that may support them to obtain permanent residence.
Based on the current market trend the listed below programs may support students to reach their destinations. After the Brexit and the Wuhan virus pandemic, the listed below programs have found great potential in the UK Job market.
As per the UK government’s immigration rules, the Shortage Occupations for the Skilled Worker route has been divided into three tables.
