Scholarships, grants, bursaries and financial awards help to support students financially through their studies. There are many scholarships available for international students to study in the UK. On the Education UK website, you can search through over 3000 scholarships using the ‘Search’ tool. This is on the top right hand side of the website. There are three tabs – ‘Courses’, Institutions’ and ‘Scholarships. Select the ‘Scholarships’ tab and see what you can find. This tool is not a fully comprehensive list of all the UK scholarships available, but it is a good place to start. You can also look on the websites for the schools, colleges and universities you are interested in, plus perhaps organisations in your country offer scholarship schemes too. Have a look on the internet to see what schemes operate in your country.

The UK offers a great value education. In terms of living costs and course fees, the UK compares favourably with other countries. It's also worth bearing in mind that most UK degree courses are not as long as those in other countries, which means you’ll be committing less time and money. It normally takes three years to complete an honours degree in England, Northern Ireland and Wales. In Scotland, an honours degree course usually lasts four years.
