Chinese students who are preparing to apply to study in the UK should pay attention. Recently, the UK has introduced many new policies for studying abroad, which have an important impact on students' applications. Below, HuiguoVPN will review the basic situation of these policies for you.
New UK study visa policy
01IELTS test accuracy provided
The UK has cancelled the recognition of TOEFL and PTE, and subdivided IELTS into life-related IELTS, academic IELTS and visa-related IELTS, in order to ensure that the UK students' UK ability level is truly reflected. In the preparation stage, students should focus more on improving the basics such as grammar and vocabulary. After the foundation is solid, the skills can be trained.
02Add £1 million in scholarships for Chinese students
In order to encourage more Chinese students to study abroad, the British Embassy has joined hands with 31 British universities to officially award a scholarship program worth 1 million pounds to Chinese students, the "2018 Extraordinary UK Million Pound Scholarship Program".
03 Visa time adjustment
Starting from August 3, 2016, the working hours of non-EU students studying in public further education colleges will be reduced from 10 hours per week to zero. College students cannot renew their visas in the UK or apply for work visas directly. They must return to their home countries after the course and reapply for visas. Overseas students studying in universities are not affected by the new policy for the time being. Starting from the autumn of 2017, the duration of continuing education visas will be shortened to 2 years.
04Changes to the Visa Points-Based System
The UK has adjusted the points-based system for Tier 4 student visas, and the living expenses standard stipulated in the visa has been increased. It is now 1,265 pounds per month in London and 1,015 pounds per month outside London. The requirement that you only need to pay 2 months of living expenses to renew your visa after one year in the UK has also been cancelled in the new policy.
05T4PILOT will be expanded to other institutions in the UK
Following the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, Imperial College London and the University of Bath, another 23 universities have joined the T4Pilot policy pilot. The pilot project will simplify the process for international students studying for a master's degree in the UK for 13 months or less. It also provides greater support for students who wish to switch to a work visa, allowing them to stay in the UK to work for 6 months after completing their course. This means that starting in the fall of 2018, students staying in the UK can enjoy the benefits of simplified visa application materials and staying in the UK for 6 months after completing their master's degree.
The following 23 UK universities have already started implementing the above policy:
- Cardiff University
