Where to start. You should apply for scholarships at least a year before the start of the course. Begin by contacting the Ministry of Education in your country of origin, which will give you information on scholarships available for studying abroad. You can look at the Italian Ministry of Education site for information.
Undergraduate courses. Institutions will set their own tuition fees for degree programmes up to a maximum of £3,000 per year in 2006 (other than for those students who deferred their entry from 2005). • Students if they wish may defer paying these fees, in which case the Government will pay the full fee on their behalf at the beginning of each academic year. This tuition fee loan as it will be called is repaid once students are working. • The loan, the outstanding amount of which will be increased annually in line with inflation, will be repaid at a rate of nine pence in the pound on earnings in excess of £15,000 per annum until it is cleared. The Government is currently negotiating with all EU governments about how loan repayments will be collected in your home country. After 25 years, any outstanding amount will be written off. • The vast majority of universities have opted to charge the maximum (£3,000) for all their programmes. They provide varying levels of financial support for students (see below). The lowest fee which has been set is £2,000. • You should check your chosen university’s website or undergraduate prospectus to confirm its fees. • Information about how to apply for a fee loan will be available on the DfES website.
Postgraduate courses. Contact the university to see whether they offer scholarships for your course/research, or if they know of other possible sources. You can see online the complete list of universities and link to their websites.
