Top tips
Top tips for sponsored students from Kuwait:
- You can apply through the RGU website or through an approved agent. Once you have applied and submitted all of your academic documents, just let us know if you need an “unconditional offer letter for the purposes of scholarship” by emailing admissions@rgu.ac.uk
- If applying to ICRGU for MPharm or MDiet you will be interviewed by RGU staff before you even begin your foundation, so that’s one less thing to worry about, you are guaranteed progression if you pass the course. We also share the same sponsor licence so its one visa all the way through, no need to re-apply.
