Before you can get a student visa to study in the UK you have to prove you are able to finance your entire course of study, including tution fees and living costs, right now. In other words, you cannot say you will obtain the money through working in the UK (though most people will automatically get a part time work visa with their student visa. This allows you to work up to 20 hours a week). You have to already have enough money before entering the UK.

Also, the economy is not great right now, so don’t bet on finding a job. Realistically you can’t rely on it.

For specific scholarships you need to email the university concerned. Be aware that any sort of financial aid for foreign undergraduates is extremely rare, so it will be very competitive to get this.

Good luck with your application.
