Country Profile

The UK has entered the 21st Century as a global leader in finance and commerce with London widely regarded as the capital of world finance. This is just the latest development in a country that has a rich heritage dating back hundreds of years.

Remnants of the past are never far away, whether it is the traditional Victorian houses in London or the castles and cathedrals of Northern England. However these historical buildings no longer represent the future of the UK which is one of the fastest changing societies in the modern world. The UK has embraced multiculturalism and London is a melting pot of different nationalities, religions and races, all living seamlessly side by side.

As diverse as the people, the UK economy offers opportunities for every profession. Whether you are a finance officer or film maker, there are opportunities everywhere to allow you to take your career forward in the way you want. You may want to stay for a year but most choose to stay much longer. Whatever your preference the experience of living and working in the UK is one you will not regret.
