I would encourage more student University interactions to find internship or job later. Along with help in making a CV, and LinkedIn profile, networking with Alumni is also important.

Networking is the key for employment

Jayachandra Naidu Sakamuri made a comment
The first question that a student ask "Can I get a job after finishing my study program" in the UK. I agree with the fact that international students are less active in the participation of employable skills activities by the Universities. I feel no wonder that they are not active because, it is a new country ,new Education system, therefore,.it takes time for...

I would the prepare well,before they start life in the UK.
1. Teach them being independent
2.back in home country, students receive support from parents or other means to lead daily routines. This will be a biggest challenge in the UK as there won't be that support. The culture is different. We should teach the students what are the expectations as a student... -

Q1. What is the maximum duration of one year taught/research based masters that a student is allowed to complete? Should be completed strictly within one year?

Are the students who have enrolled their course in Jan 2020 and graduate before Feb 2021 eligible for this 2 years post-study work permit?
Also, it is mentioned that"Once the route is introduced, those with valid leave as a Tier 4 student, who have successfully completed a course at undergraduate level or above at a higher education provider with a track...
-
"In order to be eligible for a Tier 4 (General) student visa, students will need to demonstrate an approved level of English language proficiency through a Secure English Language Test (SELT)". Is this applicable to Indian students as few Universities offer admissions based on Higher Secondary School English Language scores?
-
I can directly tell them that the student's English language scores do not meet the UCL requirements as UCL also mandates individual section requirements, which she didn't meet. I will convey tell them that our efforts and time will be wasted even if we make the application as the University doesn't even look at student application, if the English Language...

Yes, I have helped several students to apply for UK tier 4 visa for the past two years..
I feel www.gov.uk is a good resource for visa

Jayachandra Naidu Sakamuri made a comment
It is important for the counsellor to always remember that they are dealing with students future, dreams, and family dreams. Remember, parents, sometimes spend their life time savings on their children education. Just for few bucks of extra money, agents don't have right to spoil someone's dreams and aspirations.

Jayachandra Naidu Sakamuri made a comment
What David said is an important point. Being honest on what you do and don't know is important. Never misguide a student.
-
Being honest to student about the University and what they offer is very important.
-
Jayachandra Naidu Sakamuri made a comment
We should have knowledge and skills on how to draw a border line..We should educate them about the University and courses and explain the fact that the students will make friends and networking and get to know more about the UK and travelling in Europe. No need to go deep in to those details. Instead of that spend time to explain about the course, University,...

Hi Bryony, It is an important point raised by Jay. What are the alternatives if a student can't find the placements themselves? If they fail to do? Is it mandatory to complete the placement year to complete the degree? Or they get degree father one year of teaching? What is the difference between 1 year taught and 2 years taught plus placement master programs?...

This week course is really interesting. Introduction to Education system in the UK, British Council, Selection of University and Program, Quality Assurance, Boarding schools and finally the important links to the websites?
-
Jayachandra Naidu Sakamuri made a comment
The best time to join a British boarding school, I would say, is the age 13, which is our year nine. And this is a non-exam year, so it's a great time to join the school without the pressure of external exams. Otherwise, the age of 14, which is our year 10, is a good time to join, because that is a two-year GCSE programme. And otherwise, to join at the age of...

I like the statement"If the accredited centres take students that are under the age of 18, we have a special section for them to inspect. It's Care of under 18s. And that's because we want to make sure that juniors in the UK are as safe as they possibly can be when they're attending our accredited centres"

Jayachandra Naidu Sakamuri made a comment
TEF is very important factor for course or taught based master programs as it does not involve much research..Quality assurance agency and national students survey are good sources to find more about about teaching quality at an university. I have seen Universities publishing graduate employability rate, which is a key parameters to look for if the student is...

Jayachandra Naidu Sakamuri made a comment
Of course, the first step is finding the ranking of the Universities by QS or THE. However, I don't depend only on them.. Indo my own research by students reviews in Google..Google maps...Quora..talk to senior students in the social media..I will look for following things to chose an University or a program.
(1). Feedback from previous students on a...

I really liked the concept of "Global Citizens" by Kate. It means student graduated from an University/ institution from the UK should be ready to cater the Global needs. He/She should be ready to take up a career in the UK or anywhere across the world.. Education institutions are there to train students to take up a job or encourage the start ups.. Student...

I agree with Kate that Universities should train students to fulfill the needs of the industry and academia teaching and research. I strongly feel that the Universities in the UK train students to fulfillfill all these requirements.

3. Better career prospects in and outside the UK with a degree from the UK.
4. Good networking opportunity.
5. Good Foundation for PhD. Moreover PhD is funded and 3 years duration
