The British Council has announced the GREAT Scholarships 2025 to offer students from India the opportunity to undertake postgraduate studies in the UK across various fields of study. The scholarship will be provided in partnership with the UK government’s GREAT Britain campaign. Interested candidates can check details on application, eligibility and more at the official website – britishcouncil.in/study-uk/scholarships/great-scholarships.
British Council is UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities.
Each scholarship is worth a minimum of £10,000 towards tuition fees for a one-year postgraduate course. As many as 26 scholarships across diverse subjects for Indian students to study in UK will be awarded.
For the 2025 admissions cycle, scholarships are available across three primary categories. While 21 scholarships will be offered to students pursuing diverse academic disciplines within core subjects, two scholarships are dedicated to those undertaking postgraduate studies in justice and law, focusing on legal and justice-oriented fields. Three scholarships are available for aspiring leaders in science and technology, specifically within STEM disciplines.
Rittika Chanda Parruck MBE, director of Education India, British Council, said “The GREAT Scholarships provide an invaluable opportunity for Indian students to pursue postgraduate studies in the UK, opening doors to a wide range of disciplines such as finance, marketing, business, psychology, design, humanities and dance.
Studying in the UK not only grants access to world-class education from renowned universities but also immerses students in diverse cultural experiences and global networks, preparing them to excel in their careers and thrive in a competitive global job market. This initiative reflects our commitment to fostering global education and empowering students to excel in their chosen fields”.
Jointly funded by the UK government’s GREAT Britain Campaign, the British Council, and participating UK higher education institutions, these scholarships underscore the UK’s commitment to furthering academic excellence and creating global opportunities for students.
