Scholarships and Loans

Educational Loan Guidance

As a student pursuing higher education you can apply for tuition fee and maintenance loans to pay for course fees and living costs from banks. Depending on where you live, where you want to study and your personal circumstances, you may be eligible for grants and bursaries, too. We offer tailored support to each student and provide advise on how to apply for loans and help with eligibility check.

Scholarships

Any hesitation about studying abroad is typically related to the cost. However, what most students don’t know is that there are a number of scholarships available for students. A study abroad scholarship is a monetary award for students to use toward the expenses of their program such as travel, course, credits, books and lodging. Students must apply for scholarships and some can be very competitive while others are underutilized. At DHR Consultants we will direct you to the right scholarship and support you to apply for it.

There are several types of study abroad scholarships to apply for such as:

Merit-based: These awards are based on a student’s academic, artistic, athletic or other abilities, and often factor in an applicant’s extracurricular activities and community service record. It’s important to note that qualifications will vary based on the particular scholarship.

Student-specific: These are scholarships for applicants who initially qualify based on factors such as gender, race, religion, family and medical history, or many other student-specific factors. Minority scholarships are the most common awards in this category, but qualifications will vary based on the particular scholarship.

Destination-specific: These are scholarships awarded by a country to students planning to pursue a study abroad program in that particular country. They are awarded as an incentive to study in that country instead of elsewhere.

Program-specific: Program-specific scholarships are offered by individual study abroad programs and/or the colleges and universities where they may be associated to qualified applicants. These scholarships are often given on the basis of academic and personal achievement, but qualifications will vary based on the particular scholarship.

Subject-specific: Subject-specific scholarships are awarded by study abroad programs or institutions to students based on their particular major or field of study. These scholarships may require the recipients to enrol in subject-specific courses while abroad or conduct subject-specific research while abroad, but it’s important to note that qualifications will vary based on each scholarship.

Studying and Working in the UK

Why study in the UK?

 The world is heading to become a global village, and to succeed in this new normal you require a new set of skills among which an important part is both a global outlook and experience. In the UK, students benefit from a world-class education and experience a global culture to prepare for an international career. The immersive experience of studying in the UK makes you competitive and relevant in this global future.

The UK has a reputation around the world as a country of learning and academia, and it’s not hard to see why. Universities have a centuries-old history in Britain, with Oxford and Cambridge both having been founded over 800 years ago!

This is reflected in the modern world, with British universities taking a disproportionate number of places in the world university league tables. In fact, nearly a fifth of the world’s top 50 universities are in the UK according to the QS World University Rankings 2020!

UK universities are known for the wide range of degrees they offer in subjects as diverse as Art and Design, Business and Management and Media Studies. You can choose from a wide variety of internationally recognised courses that best suit your passion and career goals.

So, no matter what subject you’re interested in, you’re certain to find something that suits you. You might even discover a degree you didn’t even know existed!

In the UK, you can usually complete an undergraduate degree in 3 years if you study full time. A master’s degree usually takes 1 year.  This is in contrast to other countries such as the USA, where undergraduate degrees take at least 4 years to complete, and a master’s degree takes 2 years to finish.

So, if you choose to study in the UK, you’ll be able to graduate sooner, and save money on fees and accommodation too.

What a great reason why you should study in the UK!

Speaking English is a very useful skill in today’s global business market. And where better to learn English than in the UK?

Studying in the UK is a great way to boost your competence in English. If you need to raise your English language level before you enrol on a UK degree, you can study a pathway course first.

Students who study overseas are better informed and much have a less biased perspective towards other cultures and peoples. Whether you’re studying science, politics or finance, being able to think from a multinational perspective will help you face modern challenges and come up with innovative solutions. 

 

As an international student, you will graduate with a more diverse set of experiences than many domestic students in your home country that will allow you to think more openly and creatively. As you learn to view the world through different lenses, you’ll also learn new things about your own country and culture.

The UK has a lot of history. From the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace to Stonehenge and Edinburgh Castle; there’s so much to see and do. If that doesn’t excite you, the UK also has world-class concert venues like the Alexandra Palace in London and Birmingham’s Symphony Hall, and some of the best-known music festivals in the world.

Every student will have access to world-class medical assistance through NHS (UK health services) free of cost.

With more than half a million international students in the UK you will have the opportunity to be surrounded by a peer group from a wide and varied geographic and cultural background and form an international network and lifelong friendships The presence of this considerable population of students have also made the UK society much more welcoming of international students, ensuring you will have a pleasant experience throughout your academic years.

Employers want high-quality graduates who have specific skill sets, including effective, critical, and creative thinking skills. UK education is recognised by employers, universities and governments worldwide. Academic standards are maintained at a high level and the UK education will provide you with a solid foundation to boost your potential for very successful career. The UK higher education system promote working while you study and there are opportunities for you to work part-time during your studies.  The new post-study work scheme allows you to spend two years in the UK after your studies to gain invaluable work experience.

Getting to mainland Europe from the UK is easier than ever before. Whether it’s by plane or train, studying in the UK allows you to reach other parts of Europe in a matter of hours. Take advantage of studying in the UK and explore different countries and cultures. This makes it easier for UK students to explore opportunities, including academic projects, in other European countries depending on the scope of the course.

Our final reason for why you should study in the UK is that universities in the UK are inspected regularly by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). This ensures they maintain excellent standards in learning, research and teaching.

Teaching at universities in the UK is also rated by the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and research at UK institutions is graded by the Research Excellence Framework (REF).

Employability and Career Guidance

Studying abroad is a big decision and you might need some help deciding which path to take. We love guiding students and sharing our knowledge and experience with them so that they can make an informed decision about their future.

Each student will be assigned to an experienced career coach who will be able to best advise the student on the possible career paths and open up new avenues. Our career coaches are professionals with many years of experience in teaching and recruitment and therefore are updated and aware of the changing industry and career landscape.

With changed in the policy, now international students can access any level of job in any sector post completion of their UK degree. We will be there to make the best use of this development to find suitable job opportunities in the UK after the course.
