No Jobs are available with these courses | A List of UK Courses to Avoid
A List of UK Courses to Avoid: Your degree will not get your job in the UK. So if you’re looking to study in the UK, you need to think of what courses you should take and also what courses you should not pick to get jobs. Your agents or consultancy will not tell you the real picture of the UK job market, because they don’t care what you are studying, because they just care about the commission they earn from you. So many students are struggling in the UK now because they were misguided by their agents, so this post is important for everyone looking to study and come in the next January intake.
If you need a job in the UK after completing your course, make sure to read this post till the end. Otherwise, you will also regret like any other students. Today the worst courses which we will cover don’t have too many job opportunities or less visa opportunities.
If you want to get PR in the UK. Some students don’t understand PR, it simply means permanent residency. The recent data showed that 80% of students struggle here and go back to their home country and only 20% succeed. Have you ever thought, why? What did they do differently? Why are they getting successful and not you?

The Top 10 Worst Courses in the UK to Study | A List of UK Courses to Avoid
Which is about the top ten worst courses to study in the UK for international students who want to settle in the UK. Remember, if you have less than two years of experience, do not plan to come to the UK due to recent changes in the salary threshold, which means freshers will never get high salary and hence you will not be eligible for UK work visa, which is called Skill Visa.
10. Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism
We know personally many students who are currently in the UK and they are struggling to find visa sponsorship jobs under this category unless you are a chefs. Hence, my suggestion is to stay away from the courses like MSC Tourism and Events Management and MSC International Events and Conference Management MSC Global Management. This is not a niche field, and they have enough local people to do such kind of jobs.

9. Dramatic and Creative arts
Creative and dramatic arts is a highly competitive field with limited job opportunities and low pay. We will not suggest that you take Master of Contemporary Art practices, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Design, Master of Professional Writing, Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, etc.
8. Supply Chain
If you have three or more years of experience from your country in hard core supply chain industry, then only offer this course. Otherwise, we will suggest you stay away from MSC Supply Chain Management, MSC Supply Chain Logistics Management, MSC Strategic Operations, and Supply Chain Management, etc. students are literally crying here as they don’t have any prior experience and they are not able to secure a job in their field. Most of the students are opting for carriage jobs because they don’t see any other option for themselves now.
7. History related
If you want to study history and teach in schools or universities, We’ve seen only Stem courses teachers get sponsorships. In fact, from first Feb 2023, if you are a teacher from this nine countries, you can apply for cuts, which means your chances of getting visa sponsorship from your country will be much easier now. And you don’t even need to come via study route, so I don’t recommend you to take MA history of Art, MA World History and Cultures, Masters of Arts, etc.
6. Sports
Our suggestion is to not take MSC Sports Management, International Sports Management and my reasoning is same as all other courses which we discuss now. Less jobs and hardly any visa sponsorship jobs for you.
5. Agriculture science courses
Mainly horticulture and viticulture students who are currently studying BSc honours horticulture or FdSc. Horticulture with Garden Design are struggling to find jobs in the UK market. We are not even talking about visa sponsorship, but even landing a proper job in their field. And most of them are working in a warehouse or retail store, and hence my suggestion is to stay away from such courses.
4. Fashion and Interior design
Fashion design is another highly competitive field in the UK with limited job opportunities. Additionally, the pay is not very high and there’s a lot of pressure to be creative and innovative. So stay away from Ma Luxury Brand Management, MSC International Fashion Retailing, Master of Science in Corporate Brand Management. It’s better to do such courses from your country and try to work with big brands and then move abroad via those brands, rather than targeting to study abroad through this courses.
3. Sales courses
This is another course which will not give you visa sponsorship unless until you already have some work experience or working with the UK market. Our suggestion is to stay away from courses like MSC business with marketing MSC. Digital Marketing Communications MSC. Management with Digital Marketing. Remember guys, there are few students who are able to get visa sponsorship with the right planning, strategy and networking skills, but majority of them are still not succeeding. We have very few examples of people who succeeded with sponsorship, and the majority of them are still struggling, so just be careful now.
2. MBA
MBA stands for Master of Business Administration that provides an overview of key business practices. An MBA is not an entry level business qualification. It is usually taken by professionals who have gained at least 3 to 4 years of business and management experience since graduating from undergraduate study. However, even freshers are taking MBA because it’s one of the easiest courses to get into. And We know your agents are pushing you to take this course as the success rate of admission is really high. So if you’re a fresher or someone with less than three years of experience, would not recommend you to do MBA as this will not land you a job in the UK in your field, and you may struggle to get a visa sponsorship in the UK unless until you are exceptional students and you possess some specialised skills and try to take a course with some specialization rather than a generic course like MBA.
1.MIM
MIM is targeted for freshers. And if you are reading my articles for some time, you should already know that UK market is not favourable for freshers and UK is not degree based market but experience based market. So We personally think this is not the right course for international students. Please gain some work experience in your country even before planning for higher studies in the UK.
Before We conclude this post, we want to say this analysis is based on my research and our understanding of the UK market. However, you should do your research for your area and look at the new and. The latest trends so that you don’t regret later when you arrive here and make your decision accordingly. Challenge your agents. Ask them the right questions. All the courses and jobs which we discussed today are not listed in UK Shortage Occupation list, which means there will be only a few companies who will be ready to provide you sponsorship for those jobs. So if you are wondering why it is not in the UK shortage occupation list, it’s because British people are quite good in management and strategic skills, so they have plenty of people here who are available locally who can do that kind of jobs. And hence getting visa sponsorship job is not easy, but it’s not impossible either. Most of the people who get visa sponsorship, they are specialised in one job rather than jack of all trades and master of none. So learn new skills or those skills which are in demand and get yourself specialized in one area. So on that note, thanks for reading our post till the end and W’ll see you soon with my next post.
