Top 100 in United Kingdom

13 routes, and we can submit every one of them today. A route belongs here when the institution awarding the degree sits inside the QS 2027 top 100 — not when the college you enrol at first does.

The cheapest of them is University of Birmingham at £35,396 for the first year, tuition and living together. Reviewed 2026-08-22.

One programme, and three conditions on it. It is a Master of Laws by Research, so it suits a law graduate and nobody else. It is not currently available to Tajik nationals through this channel. And it states a FOUR-YEAR bachelor's as the minimum, so a three-year degree does not qualify.

What you need: A completed four-year bachelor's degree at 75%, in law. A three-year bachelor's returns nothing here
English: IELTS 7.0 or TOEFL 100 — the highest bar in our catalogue

Master's only — there is no undergraduate route at this campus at either Grade 11 or Grade 12, and school-leavers use the Birmingham foundation pathways instead. Every open programme states a FOUR-YEAR bachelor's degree as the minimum, so a three-year degree does not qualify here.

=97University of NottinghamOpenFree application

United Kingdom

£33,000 tuition for the first year, plus a £2,000 deposit and the £29 UCAS fee

The programme pages state a minimum of a completed POST-SECONDARY CERTIFICATE — above Grade 12, and above what an Uzbek school-leaver holds. The portal returns these programmes for a Grade 12 profile but the stated requirement is higher, so this is a route for students who already hold a college or foundation qualification, not for school-leavers.

What you need: A completed post-secondary certificate at 77% — the highest academic bar in this registry. Direct entry to the university itself, with no pathway year
English: IELTS 6.0, TOEFL 80 or PTE 65
