Q: Why do you want to study in the UK?

E: To find out the reasons of why you want to study in the UK and if you are a genuine student. 

A: I see this as a great opportunity for myself. People, who speak good English and have a UK degree in Business Management are in high demand on the Ukrainian market. I would like to be competitive on Ukrainian job market and get international experience in a world recognised university as it is an investment in my future and it will open the doors wherever I go.

Q: Name of the course 

E: To find out your study plans 

A: BSc (Hons) Business Management

Q: Why did you choose this course? 

E: To find out your knowledge about the course, assessments, interests and modules. 

A: I was interested in business courses, because now the world is changing at very fast pace. That's why this is good opportunity for me to gain knowledge, which I will use in my job in the future or even in my own business. By studying this course I will be a standout and strong specialist. I have chosen this course because it offers such modules as Economics, Business Statistics, Data Analysis, Business Accounting, Project Management, that are essential for any business and will be very useful in the future. Assessment will be based on theoretical skills (exams) and practical (applied business project), so I will gain knowledge and experience I need before entering this competitive job market.

Q: Which other universities did you consider?

E: Your reasons for choosing to study in X university compared to alternatives. Important: Be specific when comparing institutions, you may want to think about modules, course content, location, costs, accessibility, tutor profiles, university rankings, post-study employment statistics and opportunities.

 A: I had 3 unconditional offers: one from the Greenwich University, one from the BPP University and one from the University of East London. The Greenwich University Course was Business Management BA and fees were £13000 per year. I didn’t choose this course because in my opinion it was too concentrated on HR subjects, like Managing Organizations and Individuals, International Human Resource Management, Business Ethics, Cross Cultural Management, etc. Course name in BPP was advanced diploma in accounting and finance and course duration was 18 months. Fees were £8010 for the whole course. BPP is good university, which is accredited fully by ACCA, but it wasn't Bachelor’s Degree. I decided to go for Business Management BA course, because they offer Marketing, Data Analysis, Business Management modules that I am interested in and are much more practical and even offer Business Management Internship. This course is fully accredited by Chartered Management Institute which will give a professional recognition as well as networking and mentoring opportunities. Fee is £12100 per academic year and I was offered £1500 scholarship. I have chosen this course because post-study statistics show that 95% of students find a job within 6 months after completing this course.

Q: Why did you choose this university?

E: To find out your reasons to choose this specific university A: University of East London offers one of the most trusted and innovative study opportunities. It is also located near the Central London, which has a lot of opportunities, and a model city for the rest of the Europe and worldwide. It equips the graduates with the modern facilities to be competitive in anywhere. In UEL I will be connected to an international community of students and former students from more than 120 countries. I will be able to get to know people from different cultures and countries, learn from them and develop personally. In the University of East London, I will be able to pursue my personal interests, make lifelong friends and enjoy the excitement of university life. As at UEL there are almost 60 societies and 26 different sports clubs, I am sure I will join one (or even more) in order to boost my opportunities and future career.

 E: To make sure that you completed your research about the city you would like to study in

 A: London is the capital and the largest city in the UK. It is one of the most important global cities, which gives unlimited opportunities for people who want to develop. London is the most diverse and welcoming city in the world according to the Guardian Newspaper. I love the combination of old and new in London.

I am very excited about the trip and I can’t wait to see this beautiful iconic city.

Q: What are your future plans after you complete the course?

A: After completing my course I will be a strong specialist with international experience. I will return to my home country and apply for a jobs in companies in Kyiv, there are a lot of foreign companies, coming to Ukraine which need skilled specialists. Starting position will be business manager. I have made some research and found vacancies in different companies, such as IBM, Accenture and British American Tobacco. Starting salaries are from 800-1000$. I wish I could open my own business and work for myself, even if it will be a little company. I will develop my skills and after having some money I will use opportunity to run my own business. 

Q: How does this course help you achieve this? 

E: To find out the relevance of course to post-study plans

Visa officer will note everything you say. Remember that even your every pause will be noted, so we really suggest to prepare beforehand.

 Suggestion: emphasise that you will go back to your country, it will help you to pass interview and get a visa. UKVI wants to check also your level of English. If there is any issue with hearing them clearly, make sure that you raise this so that they are aware that it is a technical issue not one of comprehension.

To summarise: The main reason UKVI officer calls you is do define if you are a genuine student. UK student visa interview questions are mainly about your institution, the course that you are going to study and how you will finance your study. Make sure you operate facts and figures you answer the questions and good luck! 

Our students will get a mock interview call to help them prep ahead of Visa application and flying out.. we encourage students from other consultancies to check with their consultancy to get help..happy to answer any generic questions.

Why study in UK?

Why Study in the UK

The UK has become one of the top destinations to study around the world. With traditions of excellence dating back hundreds of years, high class institutions on every corner, and much more flexibility than many other countries, the United Kingdom has much to offer international students that other English-speaking countries cannot.

But what makes the United Kingdom stand out? Why should you come to the UK as a destination to further your international education?

Growing Destination

International students have always been an important presence in the UK, and their numbers have been growing steadily over the years. The UK is the second most popular destination for international students, behind the US. The UK has worked hard to capitalize on the growing demand for English-language instruction and the post-9/11 visa hurdles in the US. The top ten countries sending students to the UK are:

China

Malaysia

USA

India

Hong Kong

Germany

Nigeria

France

Italy

Ireland

For more demographic and statistical information about international students in the UK, visit the UK Council for International Student Affairs .

Worldwide Recognition

Degrees and qualifications from UK higher education institutions are known around the world as high quality and world class. This standard of excellence is set by some of the older universities with recognizable names, such as Oxford and Cambridge, but the tradition carries through to many of the universities and colleges throughout the UK. When looking for work in the future, this can be a great selling point in your favour.

Education Costs are Lower

Because your degree will generally take less time to complete in the UK than in other countries, you could save money compared to a US school. Although four-year programs are increasing in popularity, most degree programs in the UK are three years, and a masters program is typically between one and two years.

Although international students can manage their affairs so that their UK education is affordable, UK policymakers are taking note of an alarming trend in the cost of education for non-EU students. With exchange rates climbing, life in the UK can become expensive. In addition, unlike in many other EU countries, non-EU students are charged higher rates in the UK than students from EU countries. One recent study from the Higher Education Policy Institute warned that the UK must act to contain and reduce tuition and costs to stay competitive in the hunt for international students. As global competition for international students heats up, it can be predicted that the UK will act aggressively to keep the country a primary destination for international students.

Work Opportunities

An international student in the UK is typically allowed to work up to 20 hours a week during school term, and up to full-time when school is out of term. You should check with your international advisor at your school before starting any work - you do not want to be in violation of your visa, and rules change frequently. Keep in mind it is not always easy to find a job, so relying on work income to fund your entire education is not a good idea. Unless you have employment set up through your school before you arrive, you should plan to fund the entire first year of your studies without any employment income. Visit our Visa and Immigration pages for more details on working in the UK as an international student.

Scholarships/ Loans

Financing an international education can be difficult. The best approach includes lots of preparation, careful analysis of your budget, and hard work in researching and applying for scholarships. There are many scholarships and loans available to students who want to study in the UK. Our Financing/ Scholarships section section has more detailed information, along with the following resources:

UK Scholarship Search

UK Loans for US Citizens

Education UK Scholarship Database

Gateway to Europe

With the addition of the Channel Tunnel and low cost airlines, Europe is easier to access than ever. You can reach most areas of Europe from the UK within a few hours by train or direct flight. If you are studying in London or Manchester and you want a weekend away in Italy, you can fly direct to Rome, Milan, Pisa, Genoa, Venice or several other cities in Italy. The direct flight would take around two hours and costs will vary, depending on when you travel and when you book. Visit our Getting Around section for more UK travel information.

Multicultural Nation

The UK is known for its multicultural society, with nearly all religions and faiths represented. With a racial, ethnic and religious jumble, the UK is very open to new traditions and cultures - a great thing for students from other countries. For more information, visit our Religion section or visit the following sites:

Catholic Church in England

Church of England (Protestant)

Buddhist Society UK

Islamic Society UK

Judaism UK

Since the UK is such a melting pot, students can feel confident that a place of worship will be easily accessible for most major religions.
