    Everything Nepali students need to know before applying to UK universities

    What are the requirements to study in the UK from Nepal?
    To study in the UK from Nepal, you need a minimum IELTS score of 6.0–6.5 (or PTE 51–65), academic transcripts, a Personal Statement (SOP), two reference letters, and a valid passport. You must also show proof of funds covering tuition and living costs — £1,334/month in London and £1,023/month outside London. 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?
    Yes. Nepali students on a UK Student Visa can work up to 20 hours per week during term time and full-time during official university holidays. This helps students manage living costs while gaining valuable UK work experience that strengthens future employment prospects.
    How long is the UK Graduate Route Visa after completing a degree?
    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. ICCC provides specialized guidance on scholarship eligibility and application preparation.

Living costs are approximately £12,000–£16,000 per year depending on the city. London is the most expensive; cities like Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds are significantly more affordable for Nepali students.
    What is a CAS number and why do Nepali students need it?
    A CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) is a unique reference number issued by your UK university after you accept their offer.
