Study during Recession?
I am planning to study in UK for Sept 2025 intake. Can someone help if this is a good time to study abroad? As I will be taking a loan, I need to understand if this will be a good decision or not. Please help, anyone?

Depends on the university, course and level of education

Not worth it. Surrey is a mediocre uni at best and digital marketing is not a field where employers are sponsoring international students.

Even if not sponsorships, are jobs available?

Still no because there's no shortage of domestic candidates for marketing jobs and digital marketing is often outsourced to cheaper countries. Employers who don't sponsor usually don't even bother hiring international students because they know they'll go back once their visa runs out. I don't think taking a loan for this is worth it whatsoever.

Create a CV that you expect to have at the end of your course. Try floating it to the companies you would eventually target, see what type of response you get.
It's like asking strangers if you should have a child, divorce your spouse, get a tattoo etc. nobody knows you, nobody cares, why would you believe what they have to say

Will not suggest taking a loan to study in the UK as an international student regardless of whether there is a recession or not....cost is too high for anyone to pay it back and there is no guarantee of whether you will get a good job or not after graduation (unless you have very good skills and work experience related to your field)
