The UK education advantage

Studying in the UK opens a world of academic excellence, innovation and global opportunity for Bangladeshi students. With world-renowned universities and practical teaching approaches, the UK equips students to realise their potential. According to QS figures from 2025, the UK hosts two of the world's top three universities and 27 institutions among the top 200 globally; three UK universities also rank in the top 10 of the Times Higher Education World University Ranking 2025.

Master's programmes remain a significant draw for Bangladeshi students, and UK graduates are highly employable. The QS Graduate Employability Rankings and a report by Universities UK International found that 83% of international graduates said their UK degree helped them land a job.

Beyond academics, the student experience is rich and diverse. The UK's multicultural campuses foster a global mindset while allowing students to share and celebrate their identity. Student life includes sports, arts, societies and volunteering, and universities provide orientation, academic support, career counselling and mental-health resources to help students thrive.

Cost is a key concern, but the UK offers a range of scholarships and financial-support options, from partial awards that reduce tuition to full funding covering program fees, living costs and return airfare.

GREAT Scholarships are a popular option for students with an undergraduate degree who plan to pursue postgraduate study in the UK.
