Yes, getting a UK student visa for physiotherapy studies is currently more challenging for international students, including those from India.

- Visa approvals dropped 32% in early 2026 compared to the previous year.
- India's visa grant rate fell to 91%, below the 95% benchmark UK universities prefer.
- Common refusal reasons: insufficient financial evidence, incomplete documents, or credibility concerns.

To improve your chances, make sure your application is accurate and complete. If you need guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for support.
