The combination of academic prestige, English language, and post-study work rights makes the UK a top destination for Indian students.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What IELTS score do I need to study in the UK?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">For most Masters programs: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0. For top universities (Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial): IELTS 7.0+ is typically required. For Bachelors: IELTS 6.0\u20136.5. From January 2026, the UK student visa now requires CEFR Level B2 (broadly equivalent to IELTS 5.5+) as a minimum for visa eligibility \u2014 but university admission requirements are generally higher. IMFS recommends targeting IELTS 7.0 for stronger applications at Russell Group universities. <a href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/ielts-prep\/\">IELTS Coaching at IMFS \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What is the Graduate Route visa and how long can I stay?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">The Graduate Route is the UK’s post-study work visa. After graduating from an approved UK university, you can stay and work (at any skill level, for any employer) for 2 years (Bachelor’s \/ Masters) or 3 years (PhD). No job offer or employer sponsorship is needed to apply. You apply from inside the UK before your Student visa expires. Important: for applications made on or after 1 January 2027, Bachelor’s and Masters graduates will receive 18 months instead of 2 years. IMFS confirms the exact rules applicable to your specific intake date during counselling.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What is the UK student visa fee and what does it cost in total?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">The UK Student Visa application fee is \u00a3524 (standard service). In addition, you must pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) \u2014 at the discounted student rate of \u00a3776 per year of your visa duration. A 1-year Masters course typically results in a total IHS of \u00a31,164 (1 year + 6 extra months on the visa). A 3-year Bachelor’s is approximately \u00a32,716. You must also show maintenance funds: \u00a31,529\/month in London or \u00a31,171\/month outside London for up to 9 months, held for 28+ consecutive days. IMFS prepares and reviews your complete visa documentation package.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Can I work while studying in the UK?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes \u2014 up to 20 hours per week during term time for degree-level students at licensed institutions, and full-time during official university holidays. Self-employment and freelance work are not permitted on a student visa. Employers must verify your right to work using your digital e-Visa share code. After graduation, the Graduate Route visa allows unlimited work rights (any employer, any role) for 2 years (or 18 months from Jan 2027 for new applications).<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Is health insurance mandatory for UK students?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">The UK does not require separate private health insurance for student visa holders. Instead, you pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) \u2014 \u00a3776 per year at the student rate \u2014 as part of your visa application. This grants you access to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) for GP visits, hospital treatment, and most healthcare services, on the same basis as UK residents. You must pay the IHS even if you have private health insurance, as it is a mandatory visa requirement.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Are there scholarships available for Indian students in the UK?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes \u2014 there are several major scholarships for Indian students. The Chevening Scholarship offers fully-funded 1-year Masters (apply in November each year). The GREAT Scholarship provides \u00a310,000 minimum per student at 25+ partner universities. Commonwealth Scholarships cover full tuition and stipend for PhD and Masters. Most UK universities also offer merit-based awards of \u00a32,000\u2013\u00a310,000+. IMFS has secured $15M+ in scholarships for students \u2014 our counsellors identify scholarships specific to your university shortlist and help you build a scholarship-ready application.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Can I bring my family (dependants) to the UK on a student visa?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">Since January 2024, only PhD or research-level students (and government-sponsored scholarship holders) can bring dependants (spouse\/partner and children) to the UK under the Student Route. Taught Masters students and Bachelor’s students cannot bring dependants to the UK. This is an important consideration when planning your studies.

The combination of academic prestige, English language, and post-study work rights makes the UK a top destination for Indian students.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What IELTS score do I need to study in the UK?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">For most Masters programs: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0. For top universities (Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial): IELTS 7.0+ is typically required. For Bachelors: IELTS 6.0\u20136.5. From January 2026, the UK student visa now requires CEFR Level B2 (broadly equivalent to IELTS 5.5+) as a minimum for visa eligibility \u2014 but university admission requirements are generally higher. IMFS recommends targeting IELTS 7.0 for stronger applications at Russell Group universities. <a href=\"http:\/\/ignitus.in\/imfs\/ielts-prep\/\">IELTS Coaching at IMFS \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What is the Graduate Route visa and how long can I stay?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">The Graduate Route is the UK’s post-study work visa. After graduating from an approved UK university, you can stay and work (at any skill level, for any employer) for 2 years (Bachelor’s \/ Masters) or 3 years (PhD). No job offer or employer sponsorship is needed to apply. You apply from inside the UK before your Student visa expires. Important: for applications made on or after 1 January 2027, Bachelor’s and Masters graduates will receive 18 months instead of 2 years. IMFS confirms the exact rules applicable to your specific intake date during counselling.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">What is the UK student visa fee and what does it cost in total?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">The UK Student Visa application fee is \u00a3524 (standard service). In addition, you must pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) \u2014 at the discounted student rate of \u00a3776 per year of your visa duration. A 1-year Masters course typically results in a total IHS of \u00a31,164 (1 year + 6 extra months on the visa). A 3-year Bachelor’s is approximately \u00a32,716. You must also show maintenance funds: \u00a31,529\/month in London or \u00a31,171\/month outside London for up to 9 months, held for 28+ consecutive days. IMFS prepares and reviews your complete visa documentation package.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Can I work while studying in the UK?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes \u2014 up to 20 hours per week during term time for degree-level students at licensed institutions, and full-time during official university holidays. Self-employment and freelance work are not permitted on a student visa. Employers must verify your right to work using your digital e-Visa share code. After graduation, the Graduate Route visa allows unlimited work rights (any employer, any role) for 2 years (or 18 months from Jan 2027 for new applications).<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Is health insurance mandatory for UK students?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">The UK does not require separate private health insurance for student visa holders. Instead, you pay the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) \u2014 \u00a3776 per year at the student rate \u2014 as part of your visa application. This grants you access to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) for GP visits, hospital treatment, and most healthcare services, on the same basis as UK residents. You must pay the IHS even if you have private health insurance, as it is a mandatory visa requirement.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Are there scholarships available for Indian students in the UK?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes \u2014 there are several major scholarships for Indian students. The Chevening Scholarship offers fully-funded 1-year Masters (apply in November each year). The GREAT Scholarship provides \u00a310,000 minimum per student at 25+ partner universities. Commonwealth Scholarships cover full tuition and stipend for PhD and Masters. Most UK universities also offer merit-based awards of \u00a32,000\u2013\u00a310,000+. IMFS has secured $15M+ in scholarships for students \u2014 our counsellors identify scholarships specific to your university shortlist and help you build a scholarship-ready application.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\n <button class=\"faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Can I bring my family (dependants) to the UK on a student visa?<\/button>\n <div class=\"faq-answer\">Since January 2024, only PhD or research-level students (and government-sponsored scholarship holders) can bring dependants (spouse\/partner and children) to the UK under the Student Route. Taught Masters students and Bachelor’s students cannot bring dependants to the UK. This is an important consideration when planning your studies.
