UK education can improve your career prospects, and even boost your earnings: 5 UK universities were in the top ten universities in terms of employability of the graduates. UK-educated international graduates achieve relatively higher average salaries than if they had been educated at home.
3. The adventure of your life

International students are allowed to stay for up to three years to work and gain experience (2 years for Bachelor and Master graduates, and 3 years for PhD graduates). Apply for Skilled Worker status after finding a suitable employer, then settle in the UK.
