The UK has always been a popular destination for study due to its high level of teaching quality and academic reputation, and its one-year master's programmes also significantly reduce the time taken to study for a postgraduate degree compared to the one-and-a-half to two years in the US and two to three years in China. Through my literature review, I found that there are many studies focusing on the influences of studying abroad, but they are all focused on a specific region and even fewer studies on one-year masters in the UK. This study took a qualitative research approach, using interviews to explore the factors that influence students who study abroad in their choice of a one-year UK Masters's programme. I found that The most important factors influencing their choice of a one-year Taught UK Masters's programmes were the professional recognition and the academic reputation of the university, along with the better security of the country.
