I don't think £500 is nearly enough....

First of all u have to decide what u want to study.......If you are planning to study finance, accountancy, IT or management then you can study at cheaper prices at many colleges but if u r planning to study any other subject depending on your previous qualifications and experience then you have to get admission in University feeses ranging from £8000 to £12000 for one year master course. I shall strongly advise whichever course you want to enrol on make sure you pay your fee in advance and start ur course as soon as u arrive here and upon completion u ll get two years PSW which ll make you eligible to work full time and after that you can get HSMP for 5 years.

You also need to show ur maintenance funds during ur study period which should be able to show at least £7500 or whatever overseas equivalent in ur account (on ur name).

The third thing they ll look at is ur english speaking ability and also an intention to come back home country after completion of ur studies.

Any other question dont hesitate to ask,

BEST OF LUCK.

Thanks for reply

Actually i am networking guy, on that contest i plan to go to UK for further study and get internationally recognized degree and certifications (CCNA & CCNP) i did CCNA.

Please clarify me how much a student can earn during studies, and is it possible to get experience in any company in networking (Cisco) field.

Good day

Ok 2 things here..

If you are coming to UK as student, then you can only work 20 hours ( Legally ) as stated on your visa.

Most likely no company would consider you taking as employee for 20 hours. Just in case even if you do manage to get job, Max you would earn would be £200 a week if you are paid £10 an hour.. Mind you that £5.74 is min hourly rate in UK.

If you come as worker ( PSW visa ), then you can earn good but that again depends on your experience/qualification.
Arrived UK in Dec 2000, Received ILR Oct 2008, Citizenship Approved March 2016.

I'm coming to UK (london) in august as student. You said employers wouldnt consider employees who can work for 20hrs. So due to this reason if a student works for more than 20hrs to get the job and home office officers catch him working for excessive hours then what the consequences can most likely be?? Supposing that that student has been taking his classes regularly.

Secondly, is it easy to get a part time job nowadays?? And at what rate the part time employees (us the intl students) are normally paid??
