Azerbaijan Ministry of Education Updates Scholarship List

Number of Recognised UK Universities up to 40

The official number of UK Universities permitted to receive Azerbaijan Government Sponsored students has been increased to 40 following a review by  the Ministry of Education.

The news comes as a relief to UK universities who last year were removed from the approved list, with no clear reason for the change, including the Universities of Warwick, Leicester and Aberdeen.

Universities met with the Ministry of Education during the Levant Education’s UK Education Tour in October, and efforts to reinstate UK universities have been ongoing from the universities, from Levant Education and the British Embassy in Baku.

UK Education Tour returns to Azerbaijan in April, with UK universities such as Manchester, Warwick, Newcastle and University of East Anglia looking forward to meeting UK-focussed students at the Fairmont Hotel in the famous flame towers of Baku.

1. Aston University
