Firstly you need to fill in your UCAS application almost a year before you're going to enter. You can then choose the best unis you want to study at.

Here are their ranks in UK :
1. Cambridge
2. Oxford
3. Imperial College
4. Edinburgh
5. Manchester
6. Glasgow
7. Nottingham
8. University College London
9. Southampton
10. Liverpool

Unfortunately, I doubt that there are scholarships for foreign students. If there are, only a few.

For Engineering I would propose MIT. However you should sit for SAT1 to be eligible there. You O and A-levels are not required there. There are scholarships only for needy students. ;)

No probs buddy ;)

That's true..................MIT and Ivy league colleges take only the best students but so does Cambridge ;)

For Cambridge and Oxford, I think you have some other forms to fill, other than UCAS. Check with their administration for more details.

Wish you good luck for your studies :D

You have to apply for 2012 now as 2011 deadline has passed (you can still try clearing).

Be aware that app. deadlines for Cambridge and Oxford is before the normal 15th Jan. You must apply by mid october through UCAS.

Cambridge does provide scholarships. Check the Gandhi scholarship scheme and any scholarship from external funding bodies.

Hi, may I just ask how good your marks were? I just want to get a reality check, I'm not as far along as you are, I'm still doing my AS levels, so I'd like to know where I stand. I want to study psychology in the UK.

All the best with your applications!! Take care

Actually I don't think my parents will be able to afford it. So I'll be performing my tertiary education in my homeland itself. ;)

Good luck to you too. :)

There is a variety of financial support available to help students meet the cost of living at university. Candidate appearing for their first degree examination are not eligible for the scholarships. Those who have in addition a First Class Master's Degree or its equivalent may be given preference. Applicants must be successful in winning an ORS award which pays the difference between the home and overseas rate of the University which pays the difference between the home.
