Any other questions?

Can I stay in the UK to work after graduation?

Yes — the UK government has introduced the Graduate Visa, which gives international students the opportunity to live and work in the UK for up to two years after graduating. 


Are there cost of living grants available through Kaplan? 

No, however, we do offer tuition scholarships for international students and our partner universities also offer a range of scholarships to suit different circumstances. Student discounts are common in the UK, so it’s a good idea to make use of these to help you save money while you study abroad.

To help pay your expenses, you can work 10 hours per week during term-time (rising to 20 during your degree) and you can work full-time during holiday periods. You cannot undertake any self-employment or business activity. 


Is studying abroad worth it?

Yes! Studying abroad is a great investment in your future and it shows employers that you can adapt to an international environment, making you highly employable in today’s society. It can also help you grow as a person, discover your purpose, and enjoy a successful career.
