B. United Kingdom Websites  

1. The British Council has a website about its activities in Iraq: http://www2.britishcouncil.org/iraq/iraq-education.htm: also information on studying/living in UK. 

2. One of the best sources is: http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/ukinfo/uk.map.html  - it�s a map showing UK universities/colleges, but it has been refined, so you can link directly to the selected institution�s postgraduate website, by selecting on �Postgraduate prospectus� from the menu. 

3. http://www.postgrad.hobsons.com/   (part of Hobson�s Publications) � universities/higher education colleges are charged for their entries to the paper version � this means it may not be comprehensive.  The search engine is good and has direct links to course info.  

4. The following is focused on postgraduate studies, but it�s not comprehensive:

http://www.prospects.ac.uk/cms/ShowPage/Home_page/Search_courses_and_research/p!eacge;   it has links to the relevant institution�s web pages 

5. The HERO web portal  (http://www.hero.ac.uk/)  is a useful source - if you search on �postgraduate study� for �whole of UK�, you get a list of 125 universities/higher education colleges with a short descriptor of what subject areas they have. It also has info on the results of the last RAE (research assessment exercise). 

6. HEFCE has a list of all UK universities/higher education colleges, with a hypertext link to each of their websites: http://www.hefce.ac.uk/unicoll/he/ 

7. UKOSA�s site also has a section for international students, with good general information about studying in UK, visas, immigration, finance etc and it has links to other sites:  http://www.ukcosa.org.uk/pages/advice.htm
