The University has doubled its investment into a scheme offering scholarships for international students.

Think Big, a scheme introduced last year to attract outstanding international students, offers access to funding for undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

It now also will offer funding for international foundation programs, and has been doubled to £1million.

Marah Alassaf was awarded a Think Big scholarship to study a Masters in Advanced Microelectronics Systems Engineering;

'Having a scholarship in such a prestigious university is a dream for so many students – it was my dream, and it came true. It will help me in the future if I want to apply for a PhD or a job.

'The city is very interesting. I feel it’s like home – I came from Syria to Bristol, and I’m very satisfied, happy and settled. Meeting students from around the world is a very beautiful experience.'

International students often have to pay double the amount UK and EU students pay, and they do not get a loan. Any prospective student who has applied to Bristol can apply for the scheme.
