The UK is struggling with a high immigration rate, so the rules for international students are only getting stricter. Without work experience, it is difficult for students to find a job, but the chances increase outside the Kingdom. The British diploma is highly regarded among international companies, European and Asian. After graduating from the bachelor's degree, foreign students often remain to study in the master's program, which lasts only 1 year, but for this it is necessary to pass a high competition. For admission, you will need: an essay, diploma, recommendations, portfolio or a project for future research.
