All of us are facing challenges in our lives regardless of one’ age, profession and thoughts and students are also among us or one who is professional has been a student in his life. So simple is that we all know that all students face challenges in terms of studies, managing budgets, getting jobs and many other. Here discussion of challenges of students is limited within the territory of UK so reading this article would not only help students studying in UK but of any other region/country/state. It helps them because they come to know there are challenges caused by the society or challenges of a territory as well as of their studies. This is completely understood that a country has the direct impact on students’ academic life because of their educational policies, facilities for students and natural environment of the region that affects the health of individuals living there.
K is among the countries with the world’ top-ranked educational institutes this is the reason why there is a high number of immigrant students. That’s why we are going to discuss main five challenges of those all students studying in UK are going to be discussed with consideration of both local and international students’ challenges;
- Academic Competition with Global Students
As discussed before that there is the high number of immigrant students studying in UK who are enrolled in all levels of educational institutes. This has called for a global level competition among students of UK universities as there are students from almost all countries of the world. A number of international students are increasing day by day same is the intensity of academic competition increasing in the country. Students are requiring to put more efforts than past students and this global student competition becomes worst when students have to deal with other challenges like lack of job opportunities as there are many others as well in the same market to grab the opportunity.
- High Expectations
No doubt educational institutes of UK are offering best quality education to their students but the phenomenon of high expectation is also not neglected able. Marketing strategies of new institutes and educational performance of world’ top ranked institutes in UK, expectations of international students are getting higher and higher. These high expectations are sometimes beyond the realities so when these students are not getting the performance as per their expectations than students’ performance level as well.
- High Cost of Education and Living
UK is among developed economies so the cost of education and living is really higher for students from developing countries. Further because of lack of jobs as there is more than enough workforce as compared to the demand of workforces so this unemployment is leading students to face challenges of inflation as well as with other challenges of study.
- Meeting the Demand for Emerging Technologies
Studying in international institutions is not as easy or enjoyable as one has been thinking in his pre-graduate studies because there you need to be equipped with the knowledge of emerging technology. This is not a challenge only in terms of gaining knowledge but also to maintain the cost of getting these devices and their usage.
- Coping with International Culture
As there are students from most countries of the world so same is the culture of UK that is not specified within the territory of any one culture but a combination of many and has developed into an international culture. It becomes a challenge for students who belong from the culture of narrow boundaries and international culture stands far away from these premises of their culture.
