Financial aid for international students

These pages offer advice on how to identify funding to support yourself and pay your course fees during your studies. For information about the fees that you can expect to pay, see the individual course pages.

For country-specific information, please visit our international student country pages.

Funding

One of the conditions of gaining a place on your course and obtaining your student visa will be your ability to cover your fees and living expenses for the duration of the course. If you think you are going to need financial assistance to help you complete your course, it is important to start looking into this as far in advance as possible.

You are strongly advised not to travel to the UK to begin a course of study without making sure you have enough money to cover all your academic fees and living expenses. It is unlikely that you will be able to make arrangements for financial support once you have left your own country; and the immigration authorities will not allow you to enter the UK unless you have sufficient evidence to show that you can cover the costs of your proposed study.

Other sources of financial support

A good starting point is your own Ministry of Education as they may have details of scholarship opportunities for study abroad, and will be able to advise you on your own government's conditions for such awards.

Visit Education UK, the British Council's site. The home page offers a link to a database of scholarships as well as information on courses at all levels, how much it costs to study, and British life and culture. There is also an on-line budget planner which will help you to ensure you have the finances to study in the UK.
