i'll be talking a bit more of where you
can find the detail
part two of this video as you might
notice this video is a collaboration
between me
and virtual vine so the part one which
is this video will be talking about the
financial aid
application on a high level for a
specified country as you can see from
the title of this video the part two
will be a screen
walkthrough of how to look for financial
aid for that specified
country and you can find the part two of
this video
in the video description and the comment
section and that will be hosted on the
channel
of virtual vine hope you find this video
useful
i'm orthonophon an incoming freshman for
biochemistry at the university of oxford
exeter college
class of 2024 i'm from bangladesh and
i'm an ambassador for the virtual divine
which is a website dedicated to
providing first-hand
knowledge and available resources for
college applications to international
applicants
through providing experts and
experiences
of students currently in different
universities across the globe
today i'm here to talk about the
scholarship application process to the
uk
as part of the virtualbinds special
series on
the financial aid application processes
ecologist
this is actually part one of a two-part
video
i should probably begin this video since
it is mainly about the processes in the
uk
by saying that the uk does not really
have
financial aid for international students
so most of the funding that you're
applying for
is either going to be from your home
country or
it is going to be married based from the
universities itself
unlike the us universities you cannot
actually have
you don't actually have a website where
you can compare the costs of different
colleges
in state and how to stay side by side
however you can use the ucas app
you can use the upass website to search
for colleges
according to your needs and they will
usually provide you with links to the
websites which is equally good
if not more so so i'm going to screen
share now and show you
the ucas search tool so you can just
easily
google up ucas and it is quite easy to
actually go to the website itself
with these kinds of websites the key to
actually
finding what you need is to play around
a bit look for things that you
that might interest you that might help
you here if you
scroll down you can actually go to this
sector called
finance so select
finance and scroll down
there is undergraduate tuition fees
select undergraduate tuition please
and you will come to this page
where they're showing you the tuition
fees for students in the uk
and the eu also for the eu from 2021
onwards you will
use you guys will probably not be paying
the same as the uk
students you will have a different fee
different tuition fee scale so
you should probably check that up at the
government gov dot uk website
however here if you want to go to the
search tool click on the eu slash
international students
and they will provide you with a link to
go to the ucas
search tool here so click on the search
tool and this is actually a very
interactive interactive search tool and
you can just
since i applied for biochemistry i'm
going to
type in biochemistry for an example
for the year 2021 to 2022
although most universities still haven't
published the 2021
fees i'm going to give you four examples
of four universities mainly i'm going to
compare
the oxford universities with two other
universities in the uk
so yeah that's ucl and i'm going to
click on the bachelor degree
in the case of uk since the
undergraduate degree is mostly
three-year unlike in other countries so
it is usually less expensive
since you have to pay for one year less
than other universities
however my course at oxford is actually
a four-year degree
and it is actually quite expensive but
i'll get to that later
so for the ucl you can see that
the international fee for year one
for 2020 was
26 490 pounds
which is actually around about the
average
this is usually the average
international student fee
for for good universities in the uk
for science subjects so you can actually
look at the course specific
fees by going to the link
provided here for the funding so oxford
has biochemistry for four years this is
also
it's written as m biochem but this is an
undergraduate degree
they call it a master's degree because
of an extra thought here
which i've explained in a different
video in the virtual line for the
international student series
so here oxford also shows
an array of courses they're showing the
list of colleges that
provide you with biochemistry
my college is exeter so i'm going to
select exeter in this case
and i'll click on view option and it
will show the information
regarding exeter
the important thing here is that ucas
gives you a lot of information other
than the tuition fees as well
through the search tools so it is quite
helpful because it's showing you
that the deadline it shows you the
application deadlines which is 15th
october for both cambridge and oxford
and for medicine students actually in
that any
university application codes are
something that you will need
this is something that you have to enter
when you're applying
using ucas so you should probably jot
them down
campus name and everything and
it provides you with information on the
points of entry which means that you can
either
enter at year one or in year two
the specifics of this is usually
provided on the oxford website
it shows you the entry requirements for
different
curricula and finally it
it doesn't really show that you should
be kind of like cambridge so
you're going to have to use the oxford
website to see
that you should use in the case of
oxford it is better to usually see the
tuition fees because
according to subject because it varies
from subject to subject
i'm going to show you both living costs
and the course fees for oxford
first of all i'll show you the course
fees which usually
usually they range from
in the 2020 in 2020 they ranged from
25 740 pounds
to 36 665 pounds
36 065 pounds is usually the cost
for most of the science subjects and
and for medicine it's usually higher
because of the six-year degree instead
of before
but you can you can go to the course
listing and you'll see that you have
specific
specific information on different
courses so you need to check all of this
if
costs are important to you i'll go back
to the
visa funding page so that i can show you
the living costs
the living costs are usually pretty high
for oxford for the oxford universities
they usually have a great costs
breakdown table which shows you
the lower and upper ranges for all the
semesters
semesters that you will be staying so
which is usually
a total of nine months and if
i scroll down they'll have further
information and they'll explain what
food entails
so you can take a look at that and
and in oxford usually the fee the living
costs
raised from a lower range of 10 215 for
nine months
to an upper range of 14 850 pounds
in nine months so that's the living
costs at oxford
so that that really does end
the entire ucas search tool you can use
ucas search tool for any university at
all it gives you a list of
which universities are providing you
with your course of interest
so it is actually quite helpful so i'm
going to change that now i'm going to
move
over to the resources that the
university
of oxford provides which you can once
again see in the fees and funding
page as well so
moving on to the scholarships as i said
before
uk does not really have financial aid
for
the international students on the oxford
page
fees and funding page you can click on
the 2020 ox adversaries and scholarships
website
and here on this page you can see they
have a crankstart scholarship and oxford
bursaries
which is strictly for uk students and
if and this is not something that will
really help
the international students unless there
is an emergency case which you will
probably have to explain
to the university and emerge emergency
usually intense
entails very dire stances and even then
you will not get a full
funding usually uk does not provide you
with any financial aid if you're an
international student
instead what you have is for other
oxfords
you you can scroll down and look at the
other scholarships available
which are usually centrally administered
scholarships for
from the university for international
students
and they're usually merit-based and
looks into social commitment
and occasionally need as well and
these are still quite limited in fact so
you have to look at the
scholarships that are available some are
available for specific
specific countries such as such as the
hill foundation scholarship which is
available
for students from the russian federation
it provides the entire tuition fee
and a grant towards living costs however
the hill foundation is only for students
from russian federation the dhn
foundation is only for students
residents
in hong kong usually for
developing country students the
scholarship that you have to mainly look
out for
is the reach oxford scholarship
and the simon and julie undergraduate
scholarship
and these usually have the same deadline
and
and you can just click on one of them i
received the reach oxford scholarship
which is
actually a very good amount
you can see that here here you will
usually be provided with the
nationalities that are eligible which is
actually
this is over a hundred nationalities
that are 100 countries
over 100 countries that are eligible for
this scholarship so it is actually
pretty widespread
and and you have to remember that
for in oxford students studying medicine
do not have any funding or scholarship
available to them so
if you're going to study medicine then
you're all on your own
and you have to be sure that you have
enough funding either from outside
scholarships or from your home country
or from
loans but oxford itself is not going to
provide you with any financial aid
or scholarship for medicine as you can
see it here
subjects all subjects are eligible in
the course listing except for medicine
for this scholarship
also another thing with these
scholarships is that not all colleges
are able to offer them
some colleges do some colleges don't you
usually don't know beforehand which
colleges are going to
going to provide you with scholarships
in which you vote and
you usually end up being transferred to
a different college if you
do end up getting a scholarship
this scholarship in particular is um
it really varies from period to
four-year depending on your course and
what it provides
is course fees are grant for living
costs and one return air for a per year
i'll get into the details of that
scholarship of this scholarship
later in part two of the video so you'll
have to stay tuned
for part two
also for scholarships in oxford you can
also
go to this other website for external
scholarships
they have an external scholarships page
however this this page usually
it redirects you to a lot of different
scholarship search tools which you can
use however these scholarships are
usually
not very bulky in amount they're usually
not they're usually not sufficient to
fund your entire course
so what you should be focusing on
in if you're applying to oxford is those
other scholarships that i mentioned
earlier under the other scholarships
tab that is all for this video this time
and in the next video i'm going to go a
little more into details about the reach
oxford scholarship and what they provide
and i'll
i'll actually show you a form that i had
to fill up to apply for the reach
opposite scholarship
and i'm going to run you through that
i'm going to explain the different
sections of that form
and about those essays that were
important and the references
