Expert Answers
What eligibility criteria and documents do I need for UK scholarships as an Indian student?
→UK scholarship conditions vary, but most look at academic achievement, admission to an eligible course, English language proficiency and nationality. Some also consider leadership, work experience or financial need. Prepare transcripts, degree certificates, English test scores, an offer letter, a statement of purpose, recommendation letters, a CV and passport.
How long can I stay and work after studying in the USA, Canada, the UK or Germany?
→The USA offers 12 months of OPT, plus 24 for STEM graduates. Canada offers up to 3 years (PGWP). The UK gives 2 years after a bachelor's or master's if applied by 31 December 2026 (18 months from 2027) and 3 after a PhD. Germany allows up to 18 months.
How much do I have to pay to apply for the UK Graduate Route visa and the Canada PGWP?
→The UK Graduate Route visa application fee is GBP 937, and the Canada Post-Graduation Work Permit application fee is CAD 255. The UK fee is much higher than the Canadian one, so include it in your post-study budget. Always confirm current fees on the official immigration websites.
What is the difference between the Chevening Scholarship and the Chevening Fellowship for me?
→The Chevening Scholarship funds a one year master's degree in the UK. Chevening Fellowships are different, because they are short term professional development programmes for experienced professionals and leaders rather than full academic degrees. Your choice depends on whether you want a degree or targeted professional training.
What criteria decide who gets selected for the Scotland Saltire Scholarship?
→Saltire Scholarship applicants were assessed against basic eligibility requirements and the qualities expected of Saltire Scholars. These include interest in Scotland and a chosen Scottish university, leadership aspirations, interpersonal and communication skills, a global outlook and the ability to join programme activities.

Do I need a TB test as an Indian student going to study in the UK for over 6 months?
→Yes. Students who have lived in India (or another listed country) for 6 months or more need a TB test for UK study over 6 months. For the student visa you also need English at CEFR level B2 for degree courses, and each university sets extra entry rules by level.
How much will I pay in annual tuition for a taught Master's in Scotland as an international student?
→International students at many Scottish universities can expect to pay roughly GBP 26,000 to 39,000 or more per year for a taught Master's, and Glasgow charges GBP 26,460 to 38,670 for its MSc programmes. Fees vary by university and subject, so check your programme page.
