Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.
No closing date published. This funder sets its closing date per country, or opens the call only when the cycle begins. Send us your documents and we will apply the moment your country’s window opens.
Who can apply
Pakistani nationals only, for this round; the participating-university list changes each year. Bangladesh, India and Gulf applicants must use the GREAT page for their own country.
What the award is
Awards under the UK government's GREAT Britain campaign, run by the British Council together with participating UK universities, giving at least GBP 10,000 towards tuition fees for a one-year taught master's. Open to Pakistani nationals applying to a specific participating university's GREAT award; students apply directly to that university. The round usually opens in the first half of each year; 2026-27 applications have closed and 2027-28 details are posted on the Study UK page when the round reopens. Official source: https://study-uk.britishcouncil.org/scholarships-funding/great-scholarships (checked 29 October 2026).Where these dates came from
Could not open the funder's page on 30 October 2026: https://study-uk.britishcouncil.org/scholarships-funding/great-scholarships/pakistan and https://study-uk.britishcouncil.org/scholarships-funding/great-scholarships both returned HTTP 403 to our fetches, and britishcouncil.pk did not connect. The British Council states that GREAT deadlines vary according to each participating institution, so no single scheme-wide closing date exists and no 2027-28 round dates could be read from the official page; all columns left blank rather than guessed. The award is at least GBP 10,000 toward tuition and the university's own deadline governs, so students must check each listed university page.
Deadlines move. Always confirm on the funder's own page before you book anything — the link above is where we read it.
