The names sound nice, but the actual funding is dismal. Even for a British/EU student, these sums are not enough to subsist! For a foreign student, these scholarships will not cover fees (circa 9,000 GBP), much less living costs. The simple solution is to have fewer scholarships which are targeted to get the best students. This is particularly important when you know that jobs are will be limited. The top British universities are not on the same footing with second-tier state universities in the US with regard to postgraduate funding.Christian Askelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381441700351009913noreply@blogger.com
