For PhD and Masters Research Study
Locate a university in UK offering your area of study and apply for the ORS scholarship in that University.
ORSAS was set up by the Secretary of State for Education and Science in 1979 to attract high-quality international students to the United Kingdom to undertake research. The Scheme is funded through the four UK higher education funding bodies (for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).
From 2006 onwards, participating Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have received an annual grant to fund ORSAS and selected their ORSAS award holders internally. The grant is allocated by formula and reviewed periodically with regard to postgraduate research student recruitment and related data. The current formula allocations are set to run from 2006-07 until the end of 2008-09.
Prospective applicants should contact institutions directly for information on how to apply for an ORSAS award. Follow the links to learn more about ORSAS in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
ORSAS awards beyond 2009
The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) will not be able to fund ORSAS after 2009. This change applies to England and Wales only; other UK Funding bodies have yet to make a decision about the future of the ORSAS awards in Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Dear Mr./Mrs.,
I would like to offer my academic qualifications as a graduate from the faculty of Computer and Information Science at the respected Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt being one of the best universities in Information and Computer Science in Egypt.
I am writing with a deep desire to pursue a research position to the Master’s Program to develop my academic career path. I truly believe that my credentials will be of great use in the workplace environment. Due to my academic discipline, I possess a formidable basis of onsite independent learning. With regards to my grades, I passed my bachelor’s degree with distinction and I was ranked first in my honors class. I also have a few professors who have recommended me.
One of my greatest strength lies in Software Design and Development. Teaching several courses in programming and Data Structure such as Object Oriented Programming, Assembly Language and Information Engineering has granted me the ability to work proficiently with software development using many programming languages such as .Net, Java…
I would like the chance to hear from you regarding my abilities and qualifications, and to further my capabilities with a research position. Thank you for your time, consideration, and kind assistance.
Sincerely,
Hussein Haggag
