Variety of scholarships

There are generally more scholarships allocated to postgraduate level of study above any other level. In particular, applicants for postgraduates at UK universities are more likely to receive scholarships due to the prestige attached to UK institutions. Among the popular sponsors are home as well as the UK government, international co-operation organisations, education agencies, and individual scholarships.

Work in the UK

The British government has launched new visa policies to support outstanding students originating from different countries to work in the UK after graduation. What's more, UK universities can provide excellent career services and information for graduates, including internship opportunities.

A promising future

With increasing globalisation and trade, there's an ever-growing need for talented people to work in this increasingly competitive marketplace.
