The British Council in partnership with the UK government’s GREAT Britain campaign has announced the GREAT Scholarships 2025 for Indian students. It offers them the opportunity to pursue postgraduate studies in various fields at the prestigious universities of the UK.
While commenting on this, 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”.
There are a total of 26 GREAT Scholarships 2025 available for Indian students. Each of the scholarships is worth at least £10,000 towards tuition fees. The scholarship is granted for a one-year postgraduate course.
GREAT Scholarships 2025 are jointly funded by the British Council, the UK government’s GREAT Britain Campaign, and participating UK higher education institutions.
“For the 2025 admissions cycle, scholarships are available across three primary categories. Twenty-one scholarships are offered for 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. Additionally, three scholarships are available for aspiring leaders in science and technology, specifically within STEM disciplines,” says the official statement.
