Expert Answers
How long can I work after my MS in the USA, Canada, the UK or Australia?
→Post-study work options after an MS typically include up to 36 months of STEM OPT in the USA, up to 3 years of PGWP in Canada, an 18-month post-study work visa in the UK (expected), and 2 to 3 years of post-study work rights in Australia. Check official pages.
Can I renew my Marshall Scholarship, and how would a third-year extension work for my DPhil?
→The Marshall Scholarship is not renewed annually. A one-year award cannot be renewed, while a two-year award can continue for another year after a first year of study. Two-year DPhil or PhD scholars may request a third year, but it is limited and not guaranteed.
By which dates should I apply for Gates Cambridge, Clarendon and Reach Oxford for the 2027-28 intake?
→Tentative deadlines for the 2027-28 intake are 8 December 2026 or 6 January 2027 for Gates Cambridge, depending on the course, 8 January 2027 or 29 January 2027 for Clarendon, and 26 January 2027 for Reach Oxford. Check each official page, as dates may change.
Which postgraduate courses does the Marshall Scholarship exclude, and what must my course meet?

Which documents should I prepare as an Indian student applying for the September intake in the UK?
→Indian students typically need academic transcripts, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, a degree certificate, passport, English test score, personal statement, recommendation letters, CV, CAS, financial documents and a TB test certificate. Some depend on your course, so check each university page.
Should I choose the March intake in the UK as an Indian student, and what are its pros and cons?
→The March intake in the UK is not better or worse than other intakes; it simply suits fewer students. It can mean an earlier start and works well for PhD and block-start courses, but very few universities offer it and timelines are tight. Check course pages.
What visa fee and Immigration Health Surcharge should I expect to pay for my UK student visa for March 2027?
→For a UK student visa for the March intake you typically pay a visa application fee of £558 and an Immigration Health Surcharge of £776 per year. Most people get a decision in about 3 weeks after applying. Check the official GOV.UK page for current charges.
How much money must I show for living costs on my UK student visa for the March 2027 intake, and for how long?
