1. Why only UK?

The United Kingdom (UK) is globally recognized for its exceptional standards in both
teaching and research. Its universities are highly esteemed for delivering top-notch
education through well-structured programs. Degrees earned in the UK carry
significant recognition and respect worldwide, owing to the country's longstanding
tradition of academic excellence.
The UK boasts one of the oldest and most established educational systems globally.
Remarkably, 18 out of the world's top 100 universities are situated within its borders.
In the Times Higher Education 2020 rating, three UK colleges secured places among
the top ten universities worldwide, reflecting the country's commitment to academic
prowess.
The quality of education in the UK is rigorously maintained by the Quality Assurance
Agency for Higher Education (QAA), ensuring consistently high standards.
Impressively, a substantial 5% of the world's research is conducted within the UK,
and 14% of the cited academic articles originate from this country, as stated by the
British Council Website. Additionally, a noteworthy 25% of global leaders received
their education in the UK, highlighting the country's influential role in shaping world
leaders.
The UK offers a multicultural environment, making it an attractive destination for
international students. Courses often have shorter durations, allowing students to
achieve their academic goals efficiently. The UK's research facilities are renowned
globally for their innovation and cutting-edge advancements. Furthermore, the
country provides excellent healthcare facilities, ensuring the well-being of students.
Scholarship opportunities are abundant in the UK, further incentivizing students to
pursue their academic endeavours in this country. Beyond academics, the UK is
known for its welcoming and friendly environment, ensuring that international
students feel at home. Moreover, the temperate weather adds to the appeal of studying
in the UK, making it an all-around favourable destination for education and personal
growth.

2. Why not Nepal?

Choosing not to pursue education in Nepal involves several considerations:

Firstly, Nepal's degrees lack international recognition, which can limit opportunities
beyond the country's borders. The courses and teaching methods in Nepalese
universities do not follow a systematic approach. Even though universities like TU,
PU, and KU exist, they don't rank among the world's top universities, especially for
business degrees.

Secondly, Nepalese universities often emphasize theoretical knowledge, which do not

equip students with practical skills needed in real-life situations. This leads to a lack
of confidence when applying knowledge in practical scenarios.

Moreover, courses in Nepal are not updated or regularly revised, resulting in an

incomplete understanding of the subject matter. These impacts the acquisition of skills
and confidence required in a professional workplace.

Comparatively, completing a Bachelors/Masters course in Nepal typically takes more

than four/two years, whereas in the UK, it often takes only three/one years. Opting for
a UK education could save a whole year of academic pursuit.

In summary, these factors—lack of international recognition, theoretical emphasis

over practical learning, outdated course content, and longer course durations—have
led me to consider pursuing education outside Nepal, specifically in the UK, to ensure
a more comprehensive and globally recognized education.

3. Why not any other country?

Yes, I have considered Canada, USA and Australia. After my research on internet, I
decided to apply for UK then other countries for my higher education.

Well, I have researched about others countries like Canada, Australia and USA on
internet and I also asked my friends who live there. At last, I decided to apply UK
rather than other countries. There are several reasons for me to do so.
 First of all, UK has one of the oldest established education system and well known
for research based and practical teaching method. Also, the degrees in UK are super
focused and the specialisation starts from the day one unlike other countries where 1st
year is spent just studying the basics. The impact of this is represented by the fact that
staggering 25% of the world leaders are educated in the UK.
Secondly, course duration is also shorter which means I will graduate faster without
compromising the quality of the education. In business and career development this
aspect is extremely important. Saving a whole year provides me competitive
advantage over choosing other countries. Choosing UK provides me a whole year to
focus on much career growth.
Thirdly, the UK degrees are the most prestigious degree among all the comparison
countries namely USA, Australia and Canada. Though there are great universities in
the other countries, the similar ranking universities in UK, Canada and Australia are
way too expensive than what is offered in the UK. Thus, the value that I get from the
universities in UK is higher. Further, when it comes to Canada, the Canadian degree
is not well recognised in the labour market of Nepal. Since I want to come back to
Nepal, the degree of Canada won’t be of much value to me. In Australia, there are
many great universities but the education standards are not uniform through the nation
and differ according to the state which makes it very difficult to understand and make
relevant comparison.
In addition to this, UK offers one of the best healthcare facilities, the culture is more
accepting and the environment is safer. We cannot say the same for other countries.
And, of course these factors also impact my level of academic performance.

allows students to enter the workforce sooner. This means they can start their careers
earlier, gaining practical experience and beginning their professional journey ahead of
those who might take longer to graduate.

expenses. Tuition fees, living costs, and other expenses for an additional year of
education in Nepal could be avoided, potentially saving money for students and their
families.

academic pursuits, focusing on their chosen field without an additional year of general
education or extended coursework. This allows for a more concentrated and
specialized education.

choices and further educational pursuits. It allows for an earlier start on postgraduate
studies or entering the job market, providing more time to gain experience or pursue
higher qualifications.

both professional and academic aspects, making the educational journey more
efficient and potentially more cost-effective.

providing original documents or failing to disclose previous immigration or legal
issues.

incorrectly or incompletely, leading to delays or rejection.

Irregular fund transfers: Showing insufficient funds in the bank account or irregular
fund transfers, which may raise suspicion about the applicant's financial situation.

Criminal record: The Home Office strictly scrutinizes visa applicants' criminal
records. Any discrepancy, whether intentional or unintentional, could lead to visa
rejection.

24). Will you work while you are studying in the UK?
As being a dedicated international student, my first priority will always be my study.

UK, I can work for 20 hours a week during my term time. I will be working for a part

practice in the UK. I can later use the experience in Nepal to boost my career &
experience.

PSW visa, also known as the Graduate Route, is available to international students
who have successfully completed a degree at undergraduate level or above at a Higher

study. For example, I have realized that I have a passion for research and analysis,
which has led me to consider pursuing a research-oriented course. Additionally, my

selecting the right specialization within my field of study. Overall, my past and
current experiences have equipped me with the necessary skills, knowledge, and
insights that will be useful in my future studies. I am confident that I will be able to
apply these experiences to my academic pursuits and achieve my goals.

My past study and future study are related in several ways. Firstly, my previous
academic experiences have provided me with a strong foundation of knowledge and
skills that will be useful in my future studies. For example, the research methods and
