Chile
An estimated 1000 – 1500 Chilean postgraduate students annually receive scholarships from the Chilean government to study abroad, ranging in length from one to three years. Statistics from different sources suggest that the UK is one of the most popular study destinations for Chilean students and we are delighted that many choose to spend their time studying at the University of Glasgow.
