There are a range of sources of funding available to Thai students considering studying in the UK. Some scholarships are open to all international students and consideration for an award may be done automatically, without need for a separate scholarship application (although you should check on this). Some scholarships are offered for specific programmes of study or just to Thai students. In almost every case, scholarships are allocated on the basis of academic excellence.

In addition to the awards offered by the Universities of Bath, Exeter, Liverpool and Warwick, we also have student funding by scholarships from a variety of external sources. These include UK schemes such as Chevening (Master’s) and Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme (ORSAS or ORS) and Dorothy Hodgkins Scholarships (PhD) as well as the sources of funding offered in Thailand by various sponsors, such as those available via OCSC (“Kor Por”).

Below is a summary and more detailed guidance can be obtained from the representative office in Thailand:
