Will my age (27-29) affect my job prospects or visa chances for studying abroad in UK?

No, your age (27-29) will not affect your job prospects or student visa chances for studying in the UK.
The UK Student visa has no upper age limit - anyone aged 16 or older can apply, as long as you meet the other requirements. Employers in the UK value diverse backgrounds, and your work experience can be a strong asset.
To strengthen your application, clearly show how your experience connects to your chosen course and future goals. If you need help with this, reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor.
