Is it a good decision for me to join a foreign university at the moment given the geopolitical scenario in UK for a Master's?

Given your plan to pursue a Master's in the UK starting January 2027, it's important to consider recent changes in UK visa policies and trends in international student enrollment. The UK government has reduced the Graduate Visa duration from two years to 18 months for most students enrolling from January 2027, and there has been a notable decline in sponsored study visa approvals. These factors could affect your post-study work options and overall study experience. Staying updated on these developments and discussing your goals with your LeapScholar counsellor will help you make an informed decision.
