Where can I get information concerning university rankings in the UK ?
Is there a possibility to receive a scholarship ?
You should not begin a course of study without making sure that you have enough money to cover all your academic fees and living expenses. The majority of students pay for their courses privately, but study can be very expensive and many students need to apply for scholarships or grants. The British universities and other UK organisations provide a number of scholarships and awards to help EU students to study in the UK.
