Opportunities, Opportunities, and Opportunities!
UK is the land of opportunities, being one of the strongest economies and home to a number of Fortune 500 companies and other giant corporates. There are tons of opportunities not just within such big corporates but also other small and medium enterprises too.
Employers look for students with skills apart from their academic degree and also experience (UK experience preferably), so focus on internships or even voluntary work before you graduate so that you have experience on your CV.
If you are a programmer and Data scientist or engineer etc you can always do your own projects to show to the employer so that the employer knows how well versed you are in your particular field.
There is plenty of voluntary work opportunity or facility to execute your own projects in the UK so there is no excuse that you weren’t experienced enough to be employable. Moreover, every university has a job shop to help their students to land a job and trust me they are keen to help you if you are keen to look for a job.
Social Networking
The best part is that you make friends from around the world and that is where you learn about the world and the opportunities that lie in each part of the world.
You can learn their culture and also the gaps that could be filled in your own home country from the product, service, or any idea that your own country lacks.
Lots of start-ups in Pakistan made it big such as Food Panda, Careem, and Daraz that were already there in the countries abroad. Also Networking with people from different countries opens doors of opportunity around the world.
Interests
You can pursue your interest or maybe find your interest apart from academics as there is a wide range of activities and interest societies you can find in your university or maybe in your cities such as skydiving community, bag packers community, Mixed Martial Arts Society, Choir, anthropology or it could be anything that you could think of and you’ll find its society or community that you can be part of.
Studying In the UK has a lot of benefits one can avail such as world-recognized education, personal development, work, and career opportunity, the opportunity for citizenship, and exposure to different cultures from around the world as UK has a diverse population from different countries.
