Studying Abroad
When it comes to studying abroad, there are
many factors to take into account. Accredited
by the Brunei Darussalam National
Accreditation Council under the Ministry of
Education, Findlay (B) Sdn Bhd provides a
range of services through the entire journey
in pursuing higher education overseas.
The agency’s services include reviewing
personal statements, assisting with university
applications, running pre-departure briefings,
making language test arrangements and
making housing applications. Findlay also
offers consultation to walk students through
their needs, goals, visa applications and
budget. Using its comprehensive and up-
to-date research databases, Findlay helps
find suitable universities, colleges and
programmes for students.
In terms of scholarship opportunities, apart from
the Brunei government, students may obtain
scholarships from other sources to study abroad.
Many Bruneians continue their studies in other
Commonwealth countries or other countries such
as the United Kingdom (UK), United States (US)
and Australia.
The renowned Chevening Scholarship is awarded
by the British High Commission to individuals
who demonstrate leadership potential and strong
academic backgrounds. The scholarship offers full
financial support for future leaders to study for
an eligible Master’s degree at any UK university
while also gaining access to a range of exclusive
academic, professional and cultural experiences.
Students also have the opportunity to study
in Japan through the Japanese Embassy in
Brunei Darussalam. The Japanese government
scholarships allow Bruneians to broaden their
horizons and contribute to the development of
both Japan and Brunei.
