Scholorship and language

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum as well as Unis in UK. I'm an international student. I have 7.98 CGPA from my BA degree in Economics. It isn't from an elite institution in my country but from a college in the next reputable category. Is it possible for me to get scholarships with my score in any of Nottingham, Birmingham (have got offer for these two), Bristol, Manchester, Warwick universities (awaiting response fro these 3)?
My spoken English skills haven't been up to the mark lately. I scored 6.5 in that category in IELTS, which is more than enough to meet the university requirements. But I'm not confident in it being good enough. Will that be of any issue when studying? I don't have any problem with listening, reading or writing though.

Your challenge is much more likely to be finding a scholarship. Why would any UK university have a scholarship for an overseas student to study economics?

Find the scholarships, then worry about meeting their requirements. IELTS will be a university issue, not a scholarship issue, and most have firm boundaries you must meet.

Hi @Jevi

I'd suggest you to please contact the university's admission/scholarship team in regards to the eligibility. Coming to IELTS score, your score probably doesn't matter unless and until your English language marks in your previous educational qualification/+12 doesn't meet the university's English language eligibility criteria. Hope this helps .

Kind regards

Be aware that scholarships granted by universities (or any other UK institution) for international students are very scarce in the UK, even for PhD students. Probably the information provided to you by Lancaster and Sheffield was related to scholarship options you might have available from other sources.

In the very rare occasion you can find a scholarship granted by the same institution usually these are partial scholarships covering tuition fees (or part of them) and the like.

Universities (and the government) would expect that any student coming to the UK has enough funds to cover fees and other expenses in full, unless the student has previously secured a full scholarship before submitting the application for a student visa and enrollment in the course.

Take a look at the last announcements from the UK Government. It indicates that this will be enforced even more from the next academic year.

Read carefully the eligibility criteria for such scholarships and email the universities if in doubt. As any other scholarship, these have specific requirements and likely very limited in number of applicants granted.
