Frequently asked questions
Can I work during my studies?
Yes: 20 hrs/week during term and full time during breaks, directly on the student visa.

Which scholarships can I aim for?
Chevening for master’s degrees, university scholarships and merit discounts. Amounts vary widely: application strategy matters as much as your record.
