Dear reader,
"I'd love to study abroad, but how will I be able to afford it?" If you have asked that question you are not alone. This month's newsletter will help you find solutions to that problem. The British Council provides a wealth of information that will assist you in finding sources of funding for your UK study abroad plans. In addition, we offer our own funding directory featuring a variety of study abroad scholarships, fellowships, and grants at http://www.studyabroadfunding.org. Also, this month's country of the month features a lively metropolis with breathtaking landscapes, cultural heritage and more than 60 higher education institutions. If you think this might be a location you would like to experience please read our in-depth portal about Sweden.
As always, please feel free to give us feedback on items you would like to see in this monthly newsletter and don't forget to pass it along to your friends and classmates.
Studying in the UK is more affordable than you might think: it takes just three years to complete most undergraduate degrees, and only one year to finish most master's degrees. That's one year less of tuition and living expenses to worry about! Wonder what it might mean for you? The British Council has resources on funding your UK studies, from our Scholarships Database to how you can use your US Federal Aid money across the Pond.

Degree programs in Sweden tend to consist of short courses with frequent testing, and higher education institutes are known for an emphasis on research and independent thinking.
