The UK is home to some of the most prestigious universities in the world. And, being awarded a scholarship to study in the UK can give you access to a top-level education at a more affordable price.
So, how do you apply? UK university scholarships are offered by both the UK government and individual universities – and are available for undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD students alike. In this blog, we’ll highlight some of the top scholarships for international students in the UK:
Many UK undergraduate scholarships are offered directly through universities. For example:
The University of West London offers the International Ambassador Scholarship. This is given to outstanding undergraduate and postgraduate students and reduces the first-year tuition by up to £6,000.
Sheffield Hallam University offers Transform Together Scholarships, which give students 50% off their first-year tuition.
The University of Westminster offers scholarships for international students. They cover the full cost of tuition, as well as flights, living expenses, and accommodation.
Many scholarships and bursaries are awarded to students automatically upon admission. For others, you need to apply separately.
If you’re unable to get a scholarship, consider applying for government student support. Receiving student support doesn’t go against visa rules. You can learn more here.
As a postgraduate, there are several ways to get financial support. You can be awarded a scholarship directly through your university, or through a government-run initiative set up to support international students. For example:
The CSC is also a great place to start if you’re looking for PhD scholarships in the UK – especially if your thesis or area of study would help you improve the lives of people in your home country.
To learn more about the different types of scholarships offered to international students, let’s take a closer look at one university in particular: The University of Manchester. Here are a few ways students can receive funding at the university:
Universities throughout Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland all offer similar scholarships. Once you have an acceptance offer, you can find out more information about scholarships and other financial support on your university’s website.
So, whether you’re fresh out of school, continuing your studies as a postgraduate, or hoping to become a PhD candidate, there are lots of scholarships to help you pursue your dreams of studying in the UK.

Our PTE Academic English language exam is accepted by 99% of UK universities and for all UK visa applications. Learn everything you need to know about PTE Academic in the UK.
A great English test should do more than produce a score. It should measure how people use English in the real world and provide a result that helps them move forward with confidence.
Your PTE overall score is important, but it is sometimes misunderstood. If you have ever calculated the average of your Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing scores, and wondered why the number does not match your overall score, we are here to help. This guide explains why the overall score is not a simple average, what it is based on, and how to read it confidently.
If your PTE skill scores look very different from each other, that does not automatically mean something has gone wrong. Your Score Report includes individual scores for Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing, and most test takers do not perform in exactly the same way across every skill. Here we explain what your PTE results can show you, why different skill scores can be completely normal and how to use that information calmly and practically.
