Are the one-year master's courses in the UK fully sponsored or do we have to pay tuition fees?

No, one-year master's courses in the UK are generally not fully sponsored for international students - you will usually need to pay tuition fees.

- Typical tuition fees: £16,000 - £40,000/year, depending on the university and course (subject to change).
- Full sponsorships: Rare and highly competitive, such as the Chevening Scholarship (government-funded, covers tuition, living, and travel).
- Partial scholarships: More common, like the GREAT Scholarships (£10,000 towards tuition) or university-specific awards (£3,000 - £5,000 off tuition).
- Eligibility: Varies by scholarship and university; your 70% in Pharmaceutical Sciences may qualify you for some options.
