 The British Council announces the opening of applications for the GREAT Scholarship 2025. |
The GREAT scholarship provides opportunities for Vietnamese students to pursue postgraduate programs in the UK starting in the fall of 2026.
Six universities have partnered with the British Council and the UK government 's GREAT Britain campaign to award six scholarships as part of the campaign. These universities are: Brunel University London; City University St George's; University of London; King's Business School; Nottingham Trent University; Teesside University; and the University of Aberdeen.
The GREAT scholarship program aims to expand access to UK education in Vietnam and celebrate the diversity of UK educational institutions, offering a wide range of courses for students. With over 3,000 Vietnamese students choosing to study in the UK each year, the GREAT scholarship program builds on strong links between the UK and Vietnam, always welcoming Vietnamese students to study in the UK.
Each scholarship is worth a minimum of £10,000 for a postgraduate course in the UK for the 2026-27 academic year. Students intending to apply for the scholarship must have an offer of admission from one of the participating universities and meet all entry requirements for their chosen course as specified by each university.
In the 2025-26 academic year, ten Vietnamese students received GREAT scholarships and are studying in the UK in fields such as Banking and Finance Law (LLM), International Business Administration, Computer Science, Sustainable Leadership and Management, Applied Linguistics, Air Transport Management, Business Analytics: Operations Research and Risk Analysis, Economics and Finance for Development, Human Rights Law (LLM), and Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL). To date, a total of 29 Vietnamese scholars have studied in the UK under the GREAT scholarship program since 2021.

"I feel incredibly fortunate to have received the GREAT scholarship. Not only did it cover my tuition fees, but the most valuable thing I gained from GREAT is the friendship I made with other GREAT scholars. Thanks to the British Council and the university proactively organizing events and trips to connect and learn from these scholars, I had the opportunity to meet many scholars from around the world. They are some of the most interesting and talented people I have ever met. 'Travel broadens the mind,' these are invaluable experiences that I will never forget," shared Bui Hoang Thuy Vi, Master of Science and Policy on Climate Change, University of Bristol.
"Upon receiving the GREAT scholarship, I felt incredibly proud of myself and all the efforts I had made. This scholarship gave me a life-changing opportunity to study in the UK and turn my career dreams into reality.
