Will my qualifications be recognised in the UK?

You can check the equivalence of your country's qualifications with those in the UK by contacting the National Recognition Information Centre for the UK (UK NARIC). The international recruitment staff at the institution where you want to study may also be able to advise you.
Where can I find out about courses of study in the UK?

The internet is a good place to obtain information about an institution and the courses it runs. For example, you can search for courses on the British Council's Education UK website and on the Hotcourses website.

You can look for and apply for courses using the UCAS

If you want to find out about postgraduate research and study opportunities, you can check the Prospects website.

Most institutions have details of their courses on their websites, or you can ask them to send you their prospectus, a free booklet which provides information about the institution and the courses it offers. Many British Council offices have copies of these prospectuses, and the British Council also produces a range of Education Information Notes about studying in the UK.
