Expert Answers
Is Australia better than the USA or the UK for my part-time work limits and post-study work options?
→Australia usually allows up to 48 work hours per fortnight, while the USA and UK typically allow around 20 per week during term. Post-study work: 2 to 4 years in Australia, 1 year plus STEM extension in the USA, and 2 years in the UK (18 months expected from 2027).
How long could I stay and work after an MS in AI if I study in the USA, Germany, the UK, Canada or the Netherlands?
→After an MS in AI, you can typically stay up to 3 years in the USA via OPT plus STEM, around 18 months in Germany, 18 months in the UK on a visa expected from January 2027, up to 3 years in Canada, and 1 year in the Netherlands.
Which conditions must I meet to qualify for the UK Graduate Route post-study work visa?
→To get the UK Graduate Route visa, you typically must have completed a UK bachelor's, postgraduate or doctoral degree on a still-valid Student visa, have your university confirm completion to the Home Office, and apply from inside the UK. Funds and English proof are usually not needed.
Why would I benefit from a 1-year UK MBA compared with a 2-year MBA in the USA or Canada?
→Many UK universities offer a 1-year MBA, while universities in major countries like the USA and Canada typically offer 2-year courses. With the UK option you graduate a year ahead of peers and enter the industry sooner. You also arrange tuition fees for only one year.
Where should I look in the UK for the best return on investment as an Indian student?
→Judge UK return on investment using graduate salary data, employability rankings and the cost-to-outcome ratio. Universities such as LSE, Oxford, Imperial, Cambridge, Durham, Bath, Loughborough, Manchester and Edinburgh are often cited for strong outcomes, but check the latest rankings and your own subject before deciding.

Check the official university page for current outcomes.
Is there a common route for me to get UK PR (ILR) after studying in the UK?
→The commonly described route is Student visa, then the Graduate Route, then a Skilled Worker visa held for 5 continuous years, and then Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). Rules can change, so check the official GOV.UK page for the latest requirements.
What does ILR or PR in the UK actually mean for me as an Indian student?
→Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), also called Permanent Residence (PR) in the UK, lets you live, work and study in the UK for as long as you want without time restrictions. It comes right before an application for British Citizenship.
