Everything you need to know about studying in the UK

Do I need the GRE/GMAT or any other requirements for the UK?

Most UK master’s programs don’t require GRE/GMAT. Some top or competitive courses may ask for it, especially in business. Strong academics, work experience, and IELTS/TOEFL scores are usually enough for admission and scholarships.


How much can I work and earn/hour in the UK for part-time?

International students in the UK can work up to 20 hours/week during term time. The average wage is around £10–£12/hour (INR 1,070–1,280). Full-time work is allowed during holidays, helping students manage living costs or gain experience.


Are there any specific visa requirements for the UK?

Yes. You will need a valid passport, CAS letter, proof of funds, IELTS/TOEFL score, and sometimes ATAS clearance. Some additional requirements apply for students under 18 or with dependents. Please get in touch with your upGrad counselor for more information.

How many intakes do UK universities offer yearly?

UK universities usually offer three intakes: September/October being the major one followed by January/February which is common for Master’s courses, and finally, May/June for selected programs. Students should apply 6–8 months in advance to secure admission and complete visa processing on time.

Can I stay back in the UK after finishing my studies?
