Study in the UK from the Philippines
The Philippines is a fast-growing source of UK international students, particularly for Nursing, Healthcare and IT. UK NHS demand for Filipino nurses creates strong post-study employment pathways via the Health and Care Worker visa.
Fee Status
Filipino students pay international fees. CHED (Commission on Higher Education) and DOST scholarships fund significant numbers each year, and Chevening runs an active Philippines programme.
Visa Requirements
Filipino students require a UK Student Route visa. TB testing is required. Credibility interviews are common. AEN helps with the document attestation often requested by UKVI.
