Important Tips & Warnings

Expert advice from 28 years of sending students abroad

Upload Records Before Arrival

Most universities require vaccination records uploaded to their health portal BEFORE you arrive. Failure to upload results in registration holds — you cannot enroll in classes.

Get English-Translated Records

Have your Indian physician provide an authenticated, English-translated medical dossier with generic drug names (not Indian brand names like "Crocin" or "Combiflam" — use "Paracetamol" and "Ibuprofen").

Pack a Personal Medical Kit

Import broad-spectrum antibiotics, anti-emetics, cold/flu meds, ORS, and antihistamines. Include a signed prescription letter from your Indian doctor listing generic names, dosages, and medical necessity.

UK IHS Adds Up Fast

The UK Immigration Health Surcharge is £776/year. A 1-year Master's degree (16-month visa) costs approximately £1,552 upfront in IHS alone — budget for this alongside visa fees.
