Study in United States — World-Class Education Awaits

Why study in United States?

The United States is home to more top-ranked universities than any other country in the world. With over 4,000 accredited institutions — including Harvard, MIT, Stanford, and Caltech — the US offers extraordinary diversity of choice across every academic discipline. American universities are known for their flexible curriculum structure, world-class research facilities, and deep connections to industry. The Silicon Valley pipeline for STEM graduates, Wall Street for finance students, and Hollywood for creative arts students are just a few examples of how US degrees translate directly into career opportunities. The sheer size of the country means there is a campus culture to suit every personality — from the Ivy League traditions of the northeast to the sun-soaked campuses of California, from urban powerhouses like NYU to sprawling research universities in the midwest. The Optional Practical Training (OPT) programme and the STEM extension give international graduates valuable time to work in the US after their degree, making it an excellent investment in your long-term career.

Student visa

International students require an F-1 student visa. After receiving your I-20 from your university, apply at the US Embassy/Consulate in your country. Pay the SEVIS fee before your visa interview. Allow 2-3 months for the process.

Work while studying

F-1 students can work on-campus up to 20 hours/week. Off-campus work requires CPT or OPT authorisation. STEM graduates qualify for 3-year OPT extension, making the US especially attractive for tech and engineering students.
