A Tuberculosis (TB) test certificate from an approved clinic in Nepal is also mandatory for your UK Student Visa application.
    Can Nepali students work while studying in the UK?

    The UK Graduate Route Visa allows international students to stay and work in the UK for 2 years after completing an undergraduate or Master's degree, and 3 years after a PhD. It requires no job offer and can be used to work in any sector — making it one of the most flexible post-study visas available globally.
    What scholarships are available for Nepali students to study in the UK?
    Nepali students can apply for the Chevening Scholarship, Commonwealth Scholarship, British Council grants, and university-specific awards from institutions like the University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester, and University of Birmingham.
