academic programs.
UK is affordable country for international students as compared to other
countries.

public services, and a well-developed infrastructure.

3. What are the benefits of studying in the UK compared to your

home country or other countries? *

Reasons for not selecting Home country:

1. The duration of the same course is longer than in Pakistan, it is 2 years whereas
in the UK it is one year and it will be a huge benefit for me to complete the course
within one year so that I can start my career soon.
2. In Pakistan courses are given theoretical importance and practical knowledge
is not in focus.

3. Also in Pakistan, it is difficult for students to improve language skills in

English but studying at UK universities will be useful to improve my language
skills.
Reasons for not selecting other countries:

Germany – There will be a language barrier if I choose Germany, as the

local language is an important factor while adjusting to an international
destination.
If I talk about Canada – There can be the issue of delayed visa process, and
harsh weather conditions, as weather plays an essential role in the adjustment
when you’re traveling in a foreign country for the first time.
