English Proficiency

I have plans of taking the GRE, TOEFL, and TWE to qualify for a Ph.D degree in the UK. I am not a native english speaker and need to further study to polish my english that will be suitable for academic setting. I want to study English as a Foreign Language or any other diploma program in the UK to help me prepare to enter graduate studies. I need scholarship or any other financial aid to support my stay in the UK. What scholarship program I can avail? Do schools provide scholarship in my case?

    • Hi Maria,
      You do not need to take GRE exam for studying in UK universities. Only TOEFL or IELTS will do.

      Most of the international students apply for ORS, DHPA, Commenwealth and European Union funded positions.

      If you are from European Union then you are also eligible for many opprtunities provided by UK funding organisations like Welcome Trust, BBSRC, EPSRC and many more depending on your related area.

      Some of my fav UK Scholarships are here..

      ORS
      DHPA
      Commenwealth Scholarships
      Rhodes Scholarship
      Skoll Scholarship Programme
      Noon Foundation
      Naomi Molson Scholarship
      Programme Alßan
      Rhodes India Scholarship
      British Marshall Fellowship
      Fulbright Scholarship
      Rotary Scholarship
      British Chevening Scholarship
      Colfuturo
      Prendergast Bequest
      Booz Allen Hamilton scholarship
      Karim Rida Said Scholarships
      The OBA Boston Consulting Group Scholarship

      Best way to get scholarship in UK is to apply for a open positions or degree courses in universities well before time.. so that you can match the scholarship internal deadlines and univerity application deadlines at the same time..

      I hope this will help.
      Good luck in your applications.
