About these scholarships

For new full-time international students starting undergraduate taught degree course in September 2021 we have international scholarships available. Only those students holding an offer to start their course in September 2021 are eligible to apply.

Scholarships will be awarded at both £2,500 and £1,000 levels and those applications we assess as best meeting the criteria will be awarded the higher amount. These scholarships are awarded as a reduction in tuition fees for the first year of study.
