Frequently asked questions about studying in United Kingdom
Can I study in the UK straight after WAEC?
Many UK universities ask for A-Levels or a Foundation year after WASSCE/NECO. A one-year Foundation programme is the most common route, and some universities accept strong WAEC results directly for certain courses. EEA will confirm the options for your results.
Do I need IELTS to study in the UK?
Most universities require proof of English. Some accept a strong WAEC English credit or other English tests instead of IELTS – requirements vary by university and course.
Can I work in the UK after my degree?
The UK Graduate Route allows eligible graduates to stay and work after completing their degree. Rules change from time to time, so EEA advises on the current requirements.
How long does a UK degree take?
Most UK bachelor’s degrees take three years and many master’s degrees take one year, which can reduce the total cost of studying.
