Scholarships and funding
Studying in the UK might cost less than you think, especially when you think of the real value a UK qualification provides. The value is in what you can also get from living and studying in the UK – work experience, developing skills in how to think – not what to think – and making new friends and contacts. There are numerous scholarships available and lots of information to help you take the first steps to an internationally-recognised qualification.
There are a number of scholarships available to apply for postgraduate study in the UK. Each programme has it’s own criteria and application deadline. Amongst them are the Chevening, Landerer Arts UK scholarship, CSFP and Scots Australian Council. Alternatively you can search our scholarship database to look for other funding opportunities that are available to you.
Take a look at the series of life changing professional development awards open to Australians in the creative industries, science and innovation, Realise Your Dream, Eureka Prize and Researcher Exchange Programme.
It’s a good idea to start planning ahead. Some scholarship applications are open 12-15months before the course start date. Search our scholarship database for funding opportunities that are available to you.
The British Council and UKCISA – the UK Council for International Student Affairs – have collaborated to produce a free booklet for international students on how to find sources of funding for UK study. Download or view this booklet here:
