Question
My name is Maulik Kalolia, I've completed my Diploma in mechanical engineering on the 10th (S.S.C.) basis with 1st class and i wanna join the B.E. in aeronautical engineering, so can you please suggest me that which university should i apply for because i am not in the position to give that much amount as donation.

Answer
Hi Maulik

As I state in my profile, I'm only able to advise on the UK education system. If you are intending to apply to a UK University, then please post a follow-up question giving me your details and preferences. If you want to go to a University in a country other than the UK, I'm sorry but I can't help you, because I don't know their system.

What I will say is that although there are scholarships available in the UK, they will not pay the full cost of study and they are very much in demand. However, there is ample opportunity for part-time work in many locations, including my own University in Hertfordshire, a few miles north of London. Many of our students work part-time to support their studies, although we place quite a high demand on them academically.
