INTERNATIONAL POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE UK


International students are an integral part of the UK university system. Non-UK domiciled students flock to the UK every year to take up both undergraduate and postgraduate courses, enticed by fair prices and the British tradition of multiculturalism and openness in society. International postgraduate students are the norm, not the exception to the rule, in the UK. The majority of taught postgraduates in the UK are international students and they also take up a large percentage of research postgraduates as well.


The UK is a popular choice for international postgraduate students, but that doesn’t mean some students aren’t wary about moving to a new country and adapting to a new culture. Here are some tips for international students in the UK on how to quiet your fears and make the most of the experience.


Embrace British Culture It can be a little scary stepping into an entirely new country, but British culture and attitudes are nothing to be afraid of. British people are generally friendly, warm and always willing to make a new friend or help you out if you’re in need. The society is accepting and definitely not monolithic: chicken tikka masala


has been called the national dish and people of every colour and creed walk the streets. Being British is all about loving our strange traditions while incorporating new people and new ideas.


If you’re worried that you won’t fit in when you arrive in the UK, then don’t be afraid to swot up
