The Fulbright Postgraduate awards are aimed at students wishing to study in the UK in any subject and provide tuition and maintenance for the first year of study.

Higher education in the UK is world-class and world-renowned. There are 121 universities in the UK, including colleges of further education, offering an enormous range of disciplines, facilities and environments. Before you begin your application, it is worth taking time to research the best possible place for you to pursue your chosen course of study, taking into consideration the faculty, achievements, publications and research of the relevant department in a number of institutions. Universities in the UK are located in large cities, small cathedral towns, by the sea, in the heart of the countryside; you may wish also to consider which type of environment you’d prefer to be in during your studies.

The following websites will between them give you a good general overview of what is on offer, before you look at the sites of the universities themselves:
