Studying in the UK
Each year, 1000s of international students come to study in the UK. There are a huge number of degree courses available. These range from medicine, law, accountancy and architecture to the arts, media, humanities, science and business.
Studying for a UK qualification is a sound, long-term investment. There is great value in living and studying here. You can use it to improve your English, get a job and make new friends and contacts.
First you might like to check whether you could apply for a special scholarship on one of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office schemes.
If that isn't possible, you can find out more about where you can go to apply for loans, grants and other schemes to help you take the course you have picked.
If you are an undergraduate, there are 1000s of courses you can choose from. Or you might prefer to study for a UK degree in your own country.
Postgraduates can also choose a course from the many on offer.
Half the joy of studying is the chance to meet and mix with fellow students. So here you can find out about student life, how much it costs and whether you will be able to work to support yourself.
Finally there are some useful links which will tell you all you need to know about being a student in the UK. There’s information about whether you need a visa, how to find work and professional student organisations, and who can help with any problems you might have.
