Oxford, UK
A modern, applied university in Oxford — deliberately distinct from the University of Oxford.
Oxford Brookes University is based in the city of Oxford but is an entirely separate institution from the University of Oxford, with a different entry profile, fee structure and prestige position — a distinction families need to understand clearly from the outset. It has real strength in business and management, architecture and the built environment, publishing (a distinctive strength relative to similarly ranked universities), health and allied health subjects, and hospitality and events management. Brookes often scores well in teaching-quality categories for a modern university, and London is around an hour away by train for internships and networking. It gives families an Oxford city address and lifestyle without the ultra-selective entry bar of the collegiate university next door.

Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or Oxford Brookes's financial aid office.
Beyond government-level awards, most UK universities offer their own merit-based international scholarships — commonly a partial tuition reduction for strong A-Level/IB/IGCSE results, sometimes auto-considered from your application and sometimes requiring a short separate form.
Chevening and Commonwealth are postgraduate-only. For undergraduate applicants, the university-specific merit scholarships are usually the more relevant route.
