Sunday question.
What is the one thing stopping you from applying right now?
Be honest. We might have the answer.
UK or Europe?
Many European universities teach degrees fully in English. Study Now works with universities in both.

Your documents are just as important as your luggage when travelling to study abroad.
Before you leave, make sure you have digital and physical copies of your important documents, including your passport, admission letter, visa, academic records and other travel documents.
Save digital copies somewhere you can easily access them, such as your email or cloud storage, and keep physical copies separate from the originals.
Don't Study Later, Study Now.
Is a UK master's still worth it in 2027? An honest answer.
For: most taught master's take one year, so you pay one year of fees and living costs, not two.
Against: the Graduate Route falls to 18 months for new applications from 1 January 2027.
It depends on your course, your budget and your plan. It is strongest when the course links clearly to a job you want.

Studying abroad is a big financial decision, and tuition fees are only one part of the cost.
Before choosing between Germany and the UK, you need to know how much you'll need to show for your visa, what to budget for accommodation, transport, food and health insurance, and how much it could cost to live there month to month.
We've broken down the key costs to help you compare both destinations and plan your finances before applying.
Thinking about studying in the UK or Germany? Let Study Now help you understand the financial requirements, explore your options and prepare for your application.

Yesterday's answer: FALSE.
From outside the UK, the earliest you can apply is 6 months before your course starts. Most decisions come within 3 weeks.
So for a September start, your visa window opens in March. Plan your documents and funds backwards from there.
Did you get it right?
When planning to study in German your university admission isn't the only thing you need to prepare for. You also need to show that you can cover your living expenses while studying.
That's where a 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭 (𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨) comes in.
But how do you open one? When should you fund it? And what happens to your money once you arrive in Germany?
We've broken down everything you need to know, including the costs, setup process and timelines to keep in mind.
Swipe through, save this post and start preparing early.

Planning a January or September start? studynow.org.uk/apply
The Office for Students is consulting on new ways to rate English universities on graduate jobs, skills and earnings.
These are proposals, open until 28 January 2027. Two of the new measures would cover UK graduates only at first.

Your course choice is a visa question too.
If your new course has no clear link to your past study or work, be ready to explain why it makes sense for your career.
A good answer is specific: the skill, the job and the plan.
