Chennai: British Council, India is launching ‘Experience UK’ an online game aimed at students wanting to study in the UK.

Developed by an UK alumnus, Nipan Maniar, currently working as a senior lecturer, who came to the UK as an international student from India eight years ago, the game familiarises the player with the different aspects of studying and living in the UK.

During the course of the game the student gets valuable information related to various courses, admission criteria, fee structures, budgeting and immigration regulations. Apart from this the student also gets exposed to information related to UK such as places of interest, the weather and study destinations.  

More than 31,000 Indian students are currently studying in the UK and this number is growing at the rate of over ten per cent each year.
