Scholarships provided by the UK government

The current world of work demands more applicants every day, and among the most in-demand knowledge is a second language, regardless of profession or field of study. That is why more and more Colombian students are interested in completing their university career with studies abroad that allow them to showcase their skills.

However, it is no secret that Colombian students’ access to education abroad is limited by the provision of credits, which can be very limited. Not to mention that the student visa in many countries does not allow you to get a job or there are restrictions regarding the work permit hours per week which makes it more difficult to maintain yourself in the mentioned countries.

In this regard, there are other options provided by the governments themselves to attract students and make it possible for those interested, among them the United Kingdom, which has an offer that Colombian students can apply to.
