Unless you are getting your masters, are world renowned  or have a UK spouse it will be very difficult. 

People can do it, but immigration changes that are coming in are making things very hard.

As for becoming a citizen, that is also changing radically.  We aren't sure what the final hurdles will be, but it looks like it will be a long hard slog.

Without a Masters Degree you won't qualify for a Tier 1 visa.

If your profession is on the shortage list AND you can find an employer to sponsor you you may qualify for a Tier 2.

Other than that, your only other option is having a UK Spouse or going back to University in the UK under the Tier 4.
