Have you thought about all of the financial benefits to choosing the UK for study?

Shorter courses
You can get your B.A. in just three years, as compared to four in the US, and your M.A. or M.B.A. in just one year, as compared to two at most US universities. That puts you a year ahead in your career and dramatically reduces overall study costs.

Work
You can work up to 20 hours per week during term-time and full-time during vacations for the duration of your course. Money earned from work doesn’t count towards immigration requirements, but work is a great way to earn extra spending money and experience British culture.

Student discounts
Student discounts are common in the UK and the rest of Europe for a range of activities – from concert and theater tickets to bus and train travel. We recommend getting an International Student Identity Card to get the most discounts.

Health care
If you are enrolled in a course lasting six months or more, you are eligible for free health care, both routine and emergency, under the UK's National Health Service. If you study in Scotland, you can receive NHS treatment regardless of the length of your course.

Federal aid funding
The majority of UK universities allow US citizens to use US federal aid money to pay for tuition.

Scholarship opportunities
