<strong>to</strong> your further<br />

education in UK<br />

In Sarawak the British Council<br />

is the best conduit <strong>to</strong> accessing<br />

information on studying in UK; it<br />

has the complete list of universities,<br />

colleges and schools all over<br />

UK specializing in virtually every<br />

profession, trade and skills. The<br />

Council’s Education UK is the official<br />

website <strong>to</strong> assist international<br />

students <strong>to</strong> learn about all these<br />

educational institutions and<br />

facilities as well as useful tips about<br />

particular <strong>place</strong>s and courses. In<br />

fact, over 1.8 million people all over<br />

the world use the site each year <strong>to</strong><br />

learn about studying in UK.<br />

For many who may be unfamiliar<br />

with the UK, there are also over 3000<br />

scholarships available in UK institutions<br />

for students that can be found through<br />

the website. Apart from learning about<br />

these opportunities, the website also<br />

informs about the cultural diversities of<br />

the UK and prepares foreign students<br />

for their arrival in the various regions<br />

of UK. As one of the oldest and most<br />

trusted site for education UK around<br />

the world, the Council however,<br />

does not actively promote individual<br />

institutions over others in delivery<br />

of information <strong>to</strong> all those who are<br />

interested.<br />
