Studying for a UK qualification in your own country
Every year, more than 200,000 people study for UK qualifications overseas, either by attending a local college or university where UK courses are taught or through distance learning.
This allows you to study in a way that suits your lifestyle and budget and means you can still gain an internationally-respected UK qualification even if you can't go to a British university. Find out about studying in your own country on the Education UK website.
